When Doves Cry - Prince



tempo: 126 bpm

bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm

the dj's take: If you spin 80s, there's no way you can leave this out of the rotation, right? An iconic song of the decade, and certainly worth breaking out from time to time in a pop or wedding set. And to think that it all revolves around a simple little 3 note keyboard / synth riff. Brings to mind a certain musical cat:

ROCKSTAR - DaBaby ft. Roddy Ricch

tempo: 90 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #1 in our chapter 51 mix (made in Logic Pro X ): Big bass, so I had to be strategic about where to transition out and into Rihanna's Work . A little more of an in-depth look, plus some thoughts on its shelf life in a dj's rotation: Bottom line, when nightlife at college bars picks up again, this will likely be in heavy rotation. Some other key-compatible tracks: Thrift Shop - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft. Wanz Public Service Announcement - Jay-Z Con Calma - Daddy Yankee, Snow River - Eminem, Ed Sheeran Bella y Sensual - Romeo Santos, Daddy Yankee, Nicky Jam In My Bed (So So Def Remix) - Dru Hill Gold Digger - Kanye West ft.

Bitches N Marijuana - Chris Brown, Tyga ft. ScHoolboy Q

Speed: 98 bpm The DJ's Take: People may complain that Chris Brown and Tyga keep coming out with tiny variations of the same song. I think it's smart - encourage dj's to play three or four of your singles in a row, and then mash them up on soundcloud without having to worry whether or not they sound right together. Mix with tracks like Loyal , Ayo , I Don't F**k With You , Team , and U Know What's Up , and you've got a key-compatible 15 to 20 minute set that should keep things moving.
