Bad Intentions - Niykee Heaton ft. Migos



Speed: 62 bpm

Recommended bpm range: 60 bpm to 65 bpm

The DJ's Take: Having perused the artist's Instagram feed for 'research' purposes, it's easy to understand her popularity. But forget about that for a minute; this track has a measured sexiness to it, and could inspire grinding and / or lap-dancing for rowdier crowds. Should fit just fine in a slower, hiphop-oriented mix.

Try blending with tracks like waves - Miguel ft. Travis Scott, Jam - Kevin Gates ft. Trey Songz, Ty Dolla $ign, Jamie Foxx, and White Walls - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.

If the energy needs to pick up, try half-timing into tracks like Ice Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice, A Place With No Name - Michael Jackson, and Wild Wild Love - Pitbull.

dj mix/mashup: do you think of me [mariah carey] x always forever [bryson tiller]

Links: Made with Logic Pro at 72 bpm Fun little instrumental blend of Bryson Tiller's Always Forever , which we used in mix 66 , and Mariah Carey's Do You Think of Me , which ended up on the cutting room floor. As you can see up top, I broke out the scalpel and did some slicing to make the beats match up better. Final verdict: Worth it. Follow the playlist on djcheatsheet.com

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 .
