Used to Love You - Gwen Stefani

Speed: 96 bpm

Recommended bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm, 95 to 100 bpm

The DJ's Take: I wonder how much of this song's current popularity is due to her gig as a judge on a singing show, millennials who remember Hollaback Girl, or Gen X/Y'ers like me who remember her from No Doubt. Maybe it's a combination of all 3. In any case, a cute little pop song the younger females in the crowd should be able to sing along to. Could be kind of fun to blend with Used to Love U - John Legend if you stretch bpm's.

Try mixing with tracks like The Fix - Nelly ft. Jeremih, Sexual Healing - Marvin Gaye, Fancy - Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX, Creep - TLC, Honey - Mariah Carey, Where The Party At - Jagged Edge, What's Luv - Fat Joe, and T.I.'s Ball.

If you're going closer to 100 bpm, try mixing with About You - Trey Songz, You Know You Like It - DJ Snake and AlunaGeorge, Worth It - Fifth Harmony, Stuck On A Feeling - Prince Royce, Electric Feel - MGMT, Sexual Healing - Maxamillion, and Get Low - Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz.

DJ mix/mashup: no can do because of you (ft. Hall & Oates and Ne-Yo)

Made with Logic Pro at 113 bpm A quick clip from the last mix , and one of my favorite transitions in it. Kind of alluring, mysterious; maybe we can make a more fully realized remix/mashup someday. If you're wondering what the image is in the background at the start of the video, those are quahogs and a channeled whelk I dug out of the sand in low tide on a recent beach trip. Pretty solid haul, and good eating for sure. Although I probably should've kept them separate - apparently whelks like to eat the clams .

dj mix/mashup: 6 man [drake] x devil in a new dress [kanye west, rick ross]

Made with Logic Pro at 82 bpm Clip from mix #69 - two big beats on top of each other, which I could've done a better job adjusting for a cleaner sound. But if you listen to the actual mix, the transition sounds smooth; my goal for this video was to create a loop that feels like the first draft of a mashup/remix. Worth building on for a future project. Key- and bpm-compatible playlist
