Kids - OneRepublic



Speed: 100 bpm

Recommended bpm range: 95 to 100 bpm, 100 to 105 bpm

The DJ's Take: Sounds like a more refined form of 80s synth pop. Would add an invigorating couple of minutes to a roadtrip playlist, or a Top 40 set, considering the group and the solid initial reception it's getting on iTunes & Spotify. If you're around 102-103 bpm, try mixing with key-compatible tracks like:

I'm In Control - AlunaGeorge
Perfect (Matoma Remix) - One Direction
Cheyenne - Jason Derulo
Shots - Imagine Dragons
Classic - The Knocks
Sleeping With A Friend - Neon Trees
Midnight City - M83
Alejandro - Lady Gaga
LoveGame - Lady Gaga
Nasty Boy - Notorious BIG

If you're in the 95 to 100 bpm range, consider integrating with:

Same Old Love - Selena Gomez
What's The Difference - Dr. Dre
Nuthin' But A G Thang - Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg
Diamonds from Sierra Leone (Remix) [feat. Jay-Z] - Kanye West
679 - Fetty Wap, Style - Taylor Swift
Candy Rain - Soul For Real
Check The Rhime - A Tribe Called Quest

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 .
