Particula - Major Lazer & DJ Maphorisa ft. Nasty C, Ice Prince, Patoranking & Jidenna



tempo: 100 bpm

bpm range: 95 to 100 bpm, 100 to 105 bpm

the dj's take: Song #9 in our Beat Salad 103 mix (18:28):



Particula would be a good name for a cartoon series about a mini-vampire who goes around biting people and controlling their minds. Combination of 'Particle' and 'Dracula,' get it?

He'd look something like this (via Amazon):



As for the track, feels like a faster, richer version of Sweetest Girl. Should get people moving if they're open-minded and you drop it at the right time.

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 .

dj mix/mashup: 6 man [drake] x devil in a new dress [kanye west, rick ross]

Made with Logic Pro at 82 bpm Clip from mix #69 - two big beats on top of each other, which I could've done a better job adjusting for a cleaner sound. But if you listen to the actual mix, the transition sounds smooth; my goal for this video was to create a loop that feels like the first draft of a mashup/remix. Worth building on for a future project. Key- and bpm-compatible playlist
