Beat Match City

Speed: 94 bpm Recommended bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm The DJ's Take: This track is a pretty good illustration of what happens when you deviate from your signature sound - you start sounding a little more like everyone else. But sometimes there's a benefit to fitting in, especially when some may say doo-wopPop is nothing more than a novelty. In any case, worth a spot in the new music playlist. If you're in the 90 to 95 bpm range, try mixing with key-compatible tracks like:

Speed: 87 bpm Recommended bpm range: 85 bpm to 90 bpm The DJ's Take: Nice soundtrack for a laidback day at the beach. The slow, heavy percussion and deep, buzzy bass also give it dance floor potential, where I could imagine a crowd of EDM-loving flower children grooving and swaying with their eyes closed . If you're spinning near 90 bpm, try mixing or mashing up with key-compatible tracks like My Last - Big Sean ft. Chris Brown , Karma - Lloyd Banks , and Hey Ma - Cam'ron . If you're down toward 80, try blending with tracks like Best I Ever Had - Drake and Dirt Off Your Shoulder - Jay-Z .

Speed: 107 bpm Recommended bpm range: 100 to 105 bpm , 105 to 110 bpm The DJ's Take: A lot of the time, you play an older school track and wonder if the younger folk will remember it. No worries here - this is a classic that just about anyone should know and groove to.

Speed: 87 bpm Recommended bpm range: 85 bpm to 90 bpm The DJ's Take: Safe to say you are not spinning this at a wedding. Unless it's a wedding full of EDM-loving hipsters in their early 20s. I wouldn't feel too confident about dropping this in a standard pop set either, but it's interesting & loud, so maybe there's a broader appeal to a younger crowd than I think. Try mixing or mashing up with key-compatible tracks like Chandelier - Sia , Burn - Ellie Goulding , and Miss Independent - Ne-Yo . Download the song: iTunes Amazon

Speed: 128 bpm Recommended bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm The DJ's Take: Beautiful people, fake flutes, and Vegas - what's not to like? Light, easy listening EDM a crowd can sway to; worth a spot in the warmup portion of your program. Try mixing or mashing up with tracks like:

Speed: 91 bpm Recommended bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm The DJ's Take: Sounds a lot like Hide Away , doesn't it? So there's an easy key-compatible mix / mashup right there. And if you want to go into cruise control for 20 minutes to half an hour, try blending with tracks like:

1. Work - Rihanna ft. Drake 2. Love Yourself - Justin Bieber 3. Formation - Beyoncé 4. Sorry - Justin Bieber 5. Real Friends - Kanye West 6. Jumpman - Drake and Future 7. Good For You - Selena Gomez ft. A$AP Rocky 8. Down In The DM - Yo Gotti 9. Summer Sixteen - Drake 10. Here - Alessia Cara Any thoughts on what should be in the Top 10?

Speed: 100 bpm Recommended bpm range: 95 to 100 bpm , 100 to 105 bpm The DJ's Take: Sounds a lot like a lost track off a Taylor Swift album. Take it for what it is - a nice little slice of teen female-oriented pop. Worth a spin for the appropriate audience. If you're spinning at around 100+ bpm, try mixing with tracks like: One Dance - Drake ft. Wizkid & Kyla Let's Talk About Sex - Salt N Pepa Piece By Piece - Kelly Clarkson Lose Yourself To Dance - Daft Punk In My Room - Yellow Claw & DJ Mustard ft. Ty Dolla $ign & Tyga .

Speed: 95 bpm Recommended bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm , 95 to 100 bpm The DJ's Take: So I guess this is the new single off Purpose? Just heard it on the radio a few minutes ago, and it sounds good to me. No idea if there's Bieber fatigue already, but I'd try this out if you spin pop. Should work out just fine, assuming your crowd isn't totally stuck on Sorry or Love Yourself . Music starts at 0:52 of the video, fyi. If you're spinning at around 90 bpm, try mixing with key-compatible tracks like:
