Throwback Thursday: Love You Down - INOJ



Speed: 134 bpm

Recommended bpm range: 130 to 135 bpm

The DJ's Take: If My Boo is more than a one-song resurrection of 90s dance music, I nominate Love You Down as the follow-up. That percussion reminds me of Push It, and even if no one younger than 30 remembers it, this is almost impossible not to get down to. Try mixing or mashing up with key-compatible tracks like:

Now That I've Found You - Martin Garrix
Haters - Deorro & Will Sparks ft. iE-z

Throwback Thursday: Billie Jean - Michael Jackson

Tempo: 117 bpm Bpm range: 115 to 120 bpm The DJ’s Take:  An iconic pop track that any dj should have in their rotation. No excuses. A good list of key-compatible songs to mix or mash up with, including: Solo Dance - Martin Jensen Routine - Alan Walker x David Whistle Safe And Sound - Justice D.A.N.C.E. - Justice Say My Name - ODESZA ft. Zyra This Town (Tiesto Remix) - Niall Horan Welcome - Martin Garrix & Julian Jordan Get Lucky - Daft Punk If you're willing to drop a couple bpm's, blending this with Poison - Bell Biv Devoe is pure gold. Download or stream the song: Apple Music iTunes Amazon

Starboy - The Weeknd, Daft Punk

tempo: 93 bpm bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #6 in our chapter 53 mix (11:38): As we saw with the I Wonder lead-in, that percussion-only intro makes this easier to mix and to play around with. Also melts nicely into Nine Inch Nails' Closer . In fact, even though I know when the transition's coming, it still creeps up on me a bit. Still worth a spot in your prime-time pop rotation. Some other key-compatible music: Old Thing Back - Matoma & Notorious BIG Back To Sleep - Chris Brown One More Chance (Remix) - Notorious BIG Shoop - Salt N Pepa Out of the Woods - Taylor Swift This Is How We Do - Katy Perry Na Na - Trey Songz Paranoid - Ty Dolla $ign No Games - Serani Download or stream Starboy: spotify playlist amazon

Uptown Funk - Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars

tempo: 115 bpm bpm range:   115  to  120 bpm the DJ's take: Mix or mash up with James Brown's Living In America , and you'll have done about the best thing you can with this track. A banner track for the 2010s. Seriously overplayed everywhere in the past couple years, so let it breathe a little and pick your spots. Solid roster of key-compatible hits to mix / mash up with: Between 110 and 115 bpm: Like A Prayer - Madonna Shining - DJ Khaled, Jay-Z, Beyoncé Get Ugly - Jason Derulo Grenade - Bruno Mars From 115 to 120 bpm: 1999 - Prince Tik Tok - Ke$ha Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better) - Felix Jaehn ft.
