Buried in Detroit (Lucas Löwe Remix) - Mike Posner ft. Big Sean



Speed: 103 bpm

Recommended bpm range: 100 to 105 bpm

The DJ's Take: Painfully obvious that you need to mix this with I Took A Pill In Ibiza - same singer, same key, and almost the same bpm. In fact, as I've said in the past, more artists should try the same tactic. Because if you do it right, dj's don't have to think twice about playing your tracks back to back.

If you're closer to 105 bpm, you can also try mixing with Yeah! - Usher ft. Lil Jon & Ludacris, Fade - Kanye West, Champagne Problems - Nick Jonas, and Truffle Butter - Nicki Minaj.

If you're around 100 bpm, try mixing with Boom - Major Lazer & MOTi, Right Hand - Drake, Lush Life - Zara Larsson, and Fancy (Yellow Claw Remix).

And if you feel like throwing in some Kanye, try double-timing over Waves.

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 .
