Beat Match City

Speed: 125 bpm Recommended bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm The DJ's Take: So apparently these guys were voted the #1 dj's in the 2015 DJ Mag Top 100 ? Plus, you have NeYo, and that's gotta count for something too. Best fit is probably in a trendier lounge-type environment (or on your iPhone workout playlist). If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing or mashing up with songs like: Shades of Grey - Oliver Heldens & Shaun Frank ft. Delaney Jane , Can't Feel My Face (Martin Garrix Remix) - The Weeknd , Never Leave - DVBBS , Don't Look Down - Martin Garrix ft. Usher , On My Way - Axwell ^ Ingrosso , I Want You To Know - Zedd ft. Selena Gomez , Light Years Away (feat. DBX) - Tiesto , Save the World (Radio Mix) - Swedish House Mafia , Pursuit of Happiness (Extended Steve Aoki Remix) [feat. MGMT & Ratatat] - Kid Cudi , The Days - Avicii ,  Prayer In C - Lilly Wood & The Prick and Robin Schulz ,  Lay Me Down - Avicii ,  Adore You - Miley Cyrus (Ced...

Speed: 121 bpm Recommended bpm range: 115 to 120 bpm , 120 to 125 bpm The DJ's Take: I think we've found the theme music for the next Coke Zero ad campaign. Strong 80s pop-funk vibe that should keep things moving at a Top 40 gig. If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing or mashing up with tracks like: Cheerleader - OMI , I Don't Mind - Usher , Dynamite - Taio Cruz , Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car - Billy Ocean , Black or White - Michael Jackson , Just Dance - Lady Gaga Download the song: iTunes Amazon

  Speed: 95 bpm Recommended bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm , 95 to 100 bpm The DJ's Take: I kind of dig the singer's accent. Cute little beat too. Feels like it should be in a Christmas-themed TV commercial. If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing with tracks like: Boom - Major Lazer , Lean On - Major Lazer and DJ Snake , Lush Life - Zara Larsson , Dance Like We're Making Love - Ciara , Left, Right - YG , My House - Flo Rida , Classic Man - Jidenna , Let Me Love You - Mario , Girls Around The World - Lloyd ft. Lil Wayne Download the song: iTunes Amazon

Speed: 125 bpm Recommended bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm The DJ's Take: If I were the music coordinator for a gay pride parade or a ladies' aerobics class, this song would definitely go on the playlist. Video is hard to believe though - seems to me as though the colored smoke would be more likely to give those people popcorn lung than make them start dancing. Try mixing or mashing up with tracks like: Ghost - Oliver Heldens ft. RUMORS , Whip It! - LunchMoney Lewis , Lift Me Up - David Guetta , Won't Stop Rocking - R3hab & Headhunterz , Heaven - Shaun Frank & KSHMR , Poison - Martin Garrix , Love Myself - Hailee Steinfeld , Break Free - Ariana Grande ft.

Speed: 87 bpm Recommended bpm range: 85 bpm to 90 bpm The DJ's Take: High on legal marijuana? Raised on Biggie and Nirvana? Good to know... let me jot that down in my notebook on how to identify with teens and young millennials. In any case, if you're into key-compatible mixes & mashups, try pairing this with tracks like: Nobody To Love - Sigma , Drankin' Patna - T-Pain , How Many Drinks - Miguel ,  Part II (On The Run) - Jay-Z ft. Beyoncé , Me and My Broken Heart - Rixton , Obsessed - Mariah Carey Download the song: iTunes Amazon

Speed: 85 bpm Recommended bpm range: 80 bpm to 85 bpm The DJ's Take: Kind of sounds like something you'd hear at an amusement park, which gives it a cheerful feel. I think the remix would get a better reaction on a dancefloor, but this is worth a spin when the time is right. Try mixing or mashing up with tracks like: Bad Blood - Taylor Swift , Shake It Off , Hey Mama - David Guetta ft. Nicki Minaj , I Need A Girl - Trey Songz , Not A Bad Thing - Justin Timberlake Download the song: iTunes Amazon

Speed: 103 bpm Recommended bpm range: 100 to 105 bpm The DJ's Take: Fact: Some of the best songs are the ones where you can barely make out the lyrics. This is a straight up party track that's probably better suited for an urban environment, although you could drop it in a pop mix for a little spice and variety. Try blending with some or all of the following: BeFoUr - ZAYN , Team - Iggy Azalea , Player - Tinashe , This Summer's Gonna Hurt... - Maroon 5 , Sledgehammer - Fifth Harmony , L.A. Love (La La) - Fergie , Turn Down For What - DJ Snake and Lil Jon ,  Doing It - Charli XCX ft. Rita Ora , Trouble - Iggy Azalea ft. Jennifer Hudson Download the song: iTunes Amazon

Speed: 125 bpm Recommended bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm The DJ's Take: Show me someone who can't get down to this, and I'll show you a miserable human being. On a side note, for those who are in their mid to late 20s and getting invited to weddings, think carefully before you check the +1 box. Good to keep your options open. If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing with tracks like: Be Right There - Diplo & Sleepy Tom , How Deep Is Your Love - Calvin Harris + Disciples , Secrets - Tiësto and KSHMR , Summer - Calvin Harris , Feel So Close - Calvin Harris , I Cry - Flo Rida , Let's Go - Calvin Harris and NeYo , We'll Be Coming Back - Calvin Harris , Take Me Home - Cash Cash , I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas , Day N Nite (Crookers Remix) - Kid Cudi Download the song: iTunes Amazon

Speed: 79 bpm The DJ's Take: So there's buzz around Adele and Drake doing a Hotline Bling remix. And I've seen people mashing up Hello and Hotline Bling (which boggles my mind). If there's one Drake beat you should be laying these vocals over, it should be Best I Ever Had . Similar bpm, key and vibe, so everything sounds natural. And if you feel like getting unconventional, try mashing up with Jay-Z's Dirt Off Your Shoulder . Download the song: iTunes Amazon

Speed: 94 bpm Recommended bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm The DJ's Take: Safe to say the producer of this song took a heavy dose of happy pills in the studio. Made quite a jump up the iTunes charts - must've been on TV in a commercial or something. Worth a spin in a pop mix; try blending in with key-compatible tracks like the following: Should've Been Us - Tori Kelly , You Be Killin Em - Fabolous , It Girl - Pharrell , Magic - Coldplay , Stereo Hearts - Gym Class Heroes , You're All I Need - Method Man & Mary J. Blige , Baby Baby Baby - TLC , Opposite of Adults - Chiddy Bang , Ridin Solo - Jason Derulo , Airplanes - B.o.B , Find Your Love - Drake , Flashing Lights - Kanye West , Replay - IYAZ , Take On Me (Kygo Remix) - a-ha , Renée - Lost Boyz Download the song: iTunes Amazon

Speed: 118 bpm Recommended bpm range: 115 to 120 bpm The DJ's Take: Sort of feel like this should be a Revlon commercial, with all the colors and makeup. Apparently this is big in the UK right now, and the horns should make for some lively listening, especially if you're spinning for Brits. Try mixing or mashing up with tracks like: Lay It On Me - Rudimental , How Will I Know - Whitney Houston , Girls Just Want to Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper , I Wanna Dance With Somebody - Whitney Houston , Jaded - Disclosure Download the song: iTunes Amazon

tempo: 120 bpm bpm range: 115 to 120 bpm , 120 to 125 bpm the DJ's take: The percussion and lower synths give this song an 80s feel, like something Madonna might've done. And the whistling makes it stand out a little more; worth a spin as filler in a pop set or a recorded mix. If you're staying key-compatible, try putting it together with some or all of the following: Hula Hoop - Omi Automatic - ZHU x AlunaGeorge Sugar - Robin Schulz ft. Francesco Yates Fire Burning - Sean Kingston Sugar - Maroon 5 download or stream the song: spotify playlist apple music iTunes amazon
