Elevated - Wiz Khalifa



tempo: 69 bpm

bpm range: 65 bpm to 70 bpm

The DJ's Take: Song #8 in Episode 41 (12:31):

Can we just call this iSay, Part II? Fun game - listen to that song and this one in the mix and guess where the transition is. May be tougher than you think. Flows well into Grammys too - gives you the feeling that things are starting to wind down. 

Some other key-compatible music:  

Let Me Live - Rudimental & Major Lazer
Stars - Marshmello
Deuces - Chris Brown
Drunk In Love - Beyoncé ft. Jay-Z
Ni**as in Paris - JAY-Z & Kanye West
Curve - Gucci Mane ft. The Weeknd
Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae) - Silento
Light Years - Yellow Claw
Malibu - Miley Cyrus

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
