SUBEME LA RADIO - Enrique Iglesias ft. Descemer Bueno, Zion & Lennox

tempo: 91 bpm bpm range:   90  to  95 bpm the DJ's take: Take it from me - when you throw on a Latin dance track with Spanish vocals, it's an instant party. Also, it's Enrique Iglesias, so you can't really go wrong. Lots of big hits to mix with in the scroll-down box below: All We Know - The Chainsmokers Starboy - The Weeknd and Daft Punk Back To Sleep - Chris Brown One More Chance (Remix) - Notorious BIG Out of the Woods - Taylor Swift This Is How We Do - Katy Perry No Games - Serani Teaser - Tanto Metro & Devonte, Devonte & Tanto Metro Heads High - Mr. Vegas Otis - Jay-Z and Kanye West download or stream the song: Spotify playlist Apple Music iTunes

Slide - Calvin Harris, Frank Ocean, Migos

tempo: 104 bpm bpm range:   100  to  105 bpm ,  105  to  110 bpm the DJ's take:  Has a sleek, refined sound that makes you feel cool listening to it. Probably best employed at a Miami pool party, a hip fashion show runway, or an upscale lounge in Manhattan. Pretty good list of key- and tempo-compatible tracks (scroll down in the box below): Touch - Little Mix Mo Money, Mo Problems - Notorious BIG STARVING - Hailee Steinfeld & Grey ft. Zedd Roses - The Chainsmokers We Don't Talk Anymore - Charlie Puth & Selena Gomez Hip Hop Hooray - Naughty By Nature Touch - Nick Jonas I'm Up - Omarion Love Me Harder - Ariana Grande ft.

Selfish - Future, Rihanna

tempo: 96 bpm bpm range:   90  to  95 bpm ,  95  to  100 bpm the DJ's take: Been awhile since we've heard these two together , and it works. More of a laidback, romantic vibe, but still danceable. Definitely worth a spin on a Top 40 night. Try mixing with key- and tempo-compatible tracks like: Closer - The Chainsmokers Good For You - Selena Gomez ft. A$AP Rocky Love Me Like You Do - Ellie Goulding Don't - Ed Sheeran Only You - 112 Beware - Big Sean Up Down - T-Pain Ride Out - Kid Ink, Tyga, YG, Wale & Rich Homie Quan download or stream the song: Spotify playlist Apple Music iTunes

Something Just Like This - The Chainsmokers & Coldplay

tempo: 103 bpm bpm range:   100  to  105 bpm the DJ's take: Are we at a point where you can listen to a beat and immediately know The Chainsmokers made it? I think so. Pretty clear that every new single is generating buzz, so this is certainly worth a spot in a Top 40 playlist.

Throwback Thursday: Let Me Love You - Mario

tempo: 95 bpm bpm range:   90  to  95 bpm ,  95  to  100 bpm the DJ’s take:  A former #1 song in the country awhile back, and one of the great pop  bridges  of the century. Even if your crowd doesn't remember Mario, this should keep things moving on its own merits. Good list of key-compatible tracks in the scroll-down box below: Alone - Alan Walker Lean On - Major Lazer and DJ Snake WILD - Troye Sivan DOPE - T.I. Write On Me - Fifth Harmony Running Out - Matoma ft.

Some Way - NAV ft. The Weeknd

tempo: 78 bpm bpm range:   75 bpm  to  80 bpm the DJ's take: Sounds a lot more like The Weeknd ft. NAV, right? Regardless of who gets top billing, the main voice is unmistakable, and it should get a solid reception on a pop / hiphop night. Try mixing with: So Good - Zara Larsson ft. Ty Dolla $ign On My Mind - Ellie Goulding Black and Yellow - Wiz Khalifa Bounce - 2 Chainz download or stream the song: Apple Music iTunes

I Love You - Axwell /\ Ingrosso, Kid Ink

tempo: 115 bpm bpm range:   110  to  115 bpm ,  115  to  120 bpm the DJ's take: The violin riff reminds me of Bittersweet Symphony . Light, energetic beat that should work on a runway or in the club.
