Paradise - Benny Benassi & Chris Brown



Speed: 128 bpm

Recommended bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm

The DJ's Take: Probably better suited for a festival as opposed to a live dance floor because of the drum-less interludes & buildups. But once it gets going, it gets good. And the Chris Brown vocals give this a recognizability factor with a pop crowd. Try mixing or mashing up with tracks like:

Waiting - Oliver Heldens & Throttle
More Than Ever - Breathe Carolina & Ryos
Something New - Axwell ^ Ingrosso
Birthday - Katy Perry
Play Hard - David Guetta
Sweet Nothing - Calvin Harris
Super Bass - Nicki Minaj

Or you can even double-time over PILLOWTALK - ZAYN.

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 .
