How Long - Charlie Puth



tempo: 110 bpm

bpm range: 105 to 110 bpm, 110 to 115 bpm

the dj's take: That hook reminds me of this song:



I obviously listened to a lot of soft rock radio as a kid in the mid to late 80s.

Getting back to the track in question, sounds like a hit. Easy, breezy pop with slick little guitar riffs sprinkled in. Should be especially appealing to the young female demographic.

Some key-compatible tracks between 105 and 110 bpm:

Rich Love - OneRepublic, Seeb
Are You Sure? - Kriss Kross Amsterdam & Connor Maynard ft. Ty Dolla $ign
Run Up - Major Lazer ft. PARTYNEXTDOOR, Nicki Minaj
Be Alright - Ariana Grande
Wild Things - Alessia Cara
The Monster - Eminem ft. Rihanna
Something In The Way You Move - Ellie Goulding
Cruel Summer - Bananarama
Mo Money Mo Problems - Notorious BIG

And if you venture above 110:

The Way You Make Me Feel - Michael Jackson

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 .
