Beat Match City

Speed: 102 bpm Recommended bpm range: 100 to 105 bpm The DJ's Take: I kind of like the moaning synths; adds a little drive & urgency to an otherwise quiet beat. Follow-up singles to big hits typically fizzle out a bit, but this should work well enough in the earlier part of a pop mix. Try blending with key-compatible tracks like: Team - Iggy Azalea , Don't Need Nobody - Ellie Goulding , This Summer's Gonna Hurt... - Maroon 5 , Sledgehammer - Fifth Harmony , L.A. Love (La La) - Fergie , Turn Down For What - DJ Snake and Lil Jon Download or stream the song: Spotify playlist (songs with similar key & bpm) iTunes Amazon

Speed: 100 bpm Recommended bpm range: 95 to 100 bpm , 100 to 105 bpm The DJ's Take: Not a bad comeback track. Loud, heavy, and tailor-made for club play. Go get the download, because I'm guessing a lot of dj's will add this to their new music playlist in the next week or two. If you're spinning at around 100 bpm, try mixing with BeFoUr - ZAYN , Don't Need Nobody - Ellie Goulding , This Summer's Gonna Hurt... - Maroon 5 , Sledgehammer - Fifth Harmony , L.A. Love (La La) - Fergie , and Turn Down For What - DJ Snake and Lil Jon . If you're down toward ~97, try mixing with Company - Justin Bieber , Misery - Gwen Stefani , Show Me - Kid Ink , Partition - Beyoncé , Animals - Maroon 5 , Survival of the Fittest - Mobb Deep , and You And Your Friends - Wiz Khalifa .

Speed: 109 bpm Recommended bpm range: 105 to 110 bpm The DJ's Take: Oh man; that routine in the video reminds me of the Happy Hands Club in Napoleon Dynamite . Probably more laughs in those 3 minutes than the rest of the SNL episode. As for the track itself, not bad. Snazzy beat you can snap your fingers too; almost sounds like Disclosure made it, with the soft, understated synths and periodic distorted human voices in the background. I predict a hit. Try double-timing over Sex With Me - Rihanna or mixing / mashing up with songs like Wild Things - Alessia Cara , The Monster - Eminem ft. Rihanna , Something In The Way You Move - Ellie Goulding , Cruel Summer - Bananarama , Turn Me On - Kevin Lyttle , Mo Money Mo Problems - Notorious BIG , and Ain't It Fun - Paramore .

Speed: 92 bpm Recommended bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm The DJ's Take: A testament to the mass appeal of hiphop back in the mid 90s: I remember bumping this in my Chrysler Le Baron as an Ivy League-aspiring Asian teen on the way to tennis lessons at my well-to-do town's indoor courts. A true classic that even the younger folk can nod and sing along to. If you're at around 90 bpm, try mixing with key-compatible tracks like YOUTH - Troye Sivan , 0 To 100 - Drake , Bailando - Enrique Iglesias , Partition - Beyoncé , Blame It - Jamie Foxx ft. T-Pain , and Can't Deny It - Fabolous ft. Nate Dogg . If you're working in the 95 bpm range, consider going with Show Me - Kid Ink , Partition - Beyoncé , Animals - Maroon 5 , Survival of the Fittest - Mobb Deep , Misery - Gwen Stefani , and You And Your Friends - Wiz Khalifa .

Speed: 126 bpm Recommended bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm The DJ's Take: Didn't Pitbull come out with essentially the same track a few months ago? The good news - just blend into FREE.K and call it an extended mix. A light, energetic bounce that ought to keep things moving during an EDM set, and the vocals are recognizable enough for a pop crowd. Try mixing or mashing up into key-compatible tracks like:

Speed: 82 bpm Recommended bpm range: 80 bpm to 85 bpm The DJ's Take: Doesn't quite feel like a classic to me, but it's a full-bodied, professional track that should work in almost any hiphop set. Worth a download for the new music playlist. If you're around 77 to 80 bpm, try mixing with Welcome to Jamrock - Damian Marley and Knock You Down - Keri Hilson ft. NeYo and Kanye West . If you're in the 80 to 85 bpm range, consider going tracks like Bounce - 2 Chainz ft. Lil Wayne , See You Again - Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth , The Heart Wants What It Wants - Selena Gomez , Love The Way You Lie - Eminem ft. Rihanna , Irreplaceable - Beyoncé , Party - Beyoncé , Come & Get It - Selena Gomez , and Started From The Bottom - Drake . Download the song: Amazon

Speed: 60 bpm Recommended bpm range: 55 bpm to 60 bpm , 60 bpm to 65 bpm The DJ's Take: I really hope this isn't some basketball tournament promo single the NCAA paid for. Regardless, expect it to get some exposure in the next few weeks. There's definitely an ethereal, out-in-space quality with the meandering keyboard, and I could see this getting hiphop fans going in a club. Try mixing or mashing up with key-compatible tracks like: Needed Me - Rihanna , 2 Phones - Kevin Gates , CoCo - O.T. Genasis , Birthday Sex - Jeremih , Man of the Year - SchoolBoy Q , Loveeeeeee Song - Rihanna ft. Future Or you can half-time into songs like Love Runs Out - OneRepublic , She Doesn't Mind - Sean Paul , DJ Got Us Falling In Love - Usher , and Teenage Dream - Katy Perry .

Speed: 128 bpm Recommended bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm The DJ's Take: No gimmicks here - just a strong, well-executed build-up leading to an explosive, festival-friendly drop. I'm guessing this'll get some play at Ultra in Miami later this week. Definitely worth a download if you're spinning EDM in a large venue. Try mixing or mashing up with key-compatible tracks like:
