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. Jamie Foxx No Scrubs - TLC Escápate Conmigo - Wisin ft. Ozuna Faith - George Michael Don't You Need Somebody - RedOne Lean Back - Terror Squad, Fat Joe & Remy Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home) [feat.

Imma Be - Black Eyed Peas

tempo: 92 bpm, switches to 123 bpm halfway through bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm , 120 to 125 bpm the DJ’s take:  A unique track that changes tempo halfway through - saves a dj the effort of having to come up with an energy-accelerating transition (similar deal with Just Can't Get Enough ). Decent throwback that should work during one of your quieter Top 40 nights. Some tracks worth mixing with: From 90 to 95 bpm (scroll down in the box below): Creep - TLC I Feel It Coming - The Weeknd, Daft Punk Water Under The Bridge - Adele ...Baby One More Time - Britney Spears Capsize - FRENSHIP & Emily Warren Mellow Drama - Sterling Mercury Why You Always Hatin? - YG ft. Drake, Kamaiyah Impatient - Jeremih ft. Ty Dolla $ign Kevin - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Express Yourself - N.W.A. Sexy Love - Ne-Yo Used To Love You - Gwen Stefani The Fix - Nelly ft.

On The Floor - Jennifer Lopez ft. Pitbull

tempo: 130 bpm bpm range:   125  to  130 bpm ,  130  to  135 bpm The DJ's Take:  J. Lo and Pitbull - a partnership that brought us one of the great in-concert images of the 2010s : Hey; he's only human. As for the track, a loud, thumping mega-hit when it came out. Still has value as a throwback on a dance-oriented, unpretentious Top 40 night. Try mixing / mashing up with: The Right Song - Tiesto & Oliver Heldens A Sky Full Of Stars - Coldplay You Make Me - Avicii Calabria - Enur When Love Takes Over - David Guetta, Kelly Rowland We Found Love - Calvin Harris ft. Rihanna Oops - Martin Garrix The Right Song - Tiesto & Oliver Heldens A Sky Full Of Stars - Coldplay You Make Me - Avicii Give It 2 U - Robin Thicke Live For The Night - Krewella Don't Stop The Party - Pitbull Right Now - Rihanna and David Guetta S&M - Rihanna Low (feat.
