This One's For You - David Guetta ft. Zara Larsson

Speed: 110 bpm

Recommended bpm range: 105 to 110 bpm, 110 to 115 bpm

The DJ's Take: Even before looking this up on YouTube, I thought 'this has to be some commissioned track for an international athletic event.' Sounds like a hybrid of Major Lazer and DJ Snake, which makes sense if you produce electronic music these days. Probably better suited as background music at an event, but still worth a spin earlier on in a pop or EDM night.

If you're in the 110 to 115 bpm range, try mixing with key-compatible tracks like:

CAN'T STOP THE FEELING! - Justin Timberlake
In The Night - The Weeknd
Can't Feel My Face - The Weeknd
L ight It Up (Remix) - Major Lazer
Adventure of a Lifetime - Coldplay
Bang My Head - David Guetta ft. Sia & Fetty Wap

If you're at 105 to 110 bpm, try mixing with:

Stick Around - Akon & Matoma
Light It Up (Remix) - Major Lazer
Somebody - Natalie La Rose ft. Jeremih
Whistle - Flo Rida.

Lucky You - Eminem ft. Joyner Lucas

tempo: 76-77 bpm bpm range: 75 bpm to 80 bpm the dj's take: I was wondering why the phrase 'Lucky You' sounded familiar... then remembered my Lucky Brand jeans say this behind the zipper: So let's say you're on a date. Things are going well, relations commence, and your companion sees that message. Cute? Or a mood killer? Either way, that's a lot of bravado to live up to. Brings to mind Brick Tamland in Anchorman: As for the track, try mixing with: Bam - Jay-Z ft. Damian Marley PIE - Future ft. Chris Brown Stitches - Shawn Mendes download or stream Lucky You: amazon itunes

Stay - The Kid LAROI ft. Justin Bieber

tempo: 85 bpm bpm range: 85 to 90 bpm the dj's take: Song #9 in episode #65 of our mix show (22:29): Cool transition out of Scarface's Guess Who's Back ; loop that properly and you've got an interesting potential beat / mashup. And then we slide into T-Pain and Kehlani's I Like Dat to slow down the pace and take us into the home stretch. A must-spin for any pop dj - serves up a burst of bouncy energy for the youth who've been cooped up for awhile now.
