Green Light - Lorde

tempo: 129 bpm bpm range:   125  to  130 bpm the DJ's take: Sounds more like a Broadway show tune than a pop song. Probably will be something her fans find uplifting and inspirational, but if I'm a dj, my first thought is this is a prime candidate for an EDM remix. Good list of notable tracks to mix with; scroll down in the box below: My Boo - Ghost Town DJs No Money - Galantis Hey - Fais ft. Afrojack Sweet Harmony - Dubvision DADDY - PSY Another You - Armin Van Buuren ft. Mr. Probz Cool - Alesso , Get Outta My Way - Kylie Minogue Waiting For Love - Avicii La La La - Naughty Boy ft. Sam Smith Pompeii - Bastille Invincible - Borgeous Dear Boy - Avicii I Could Be the One (Avicii vs Nicky Romero) [Nicktim - Radio Edit] - Single - Avicii & Nicky Romero The Other Side - Jason Derulo Alive - Krewella Easy Love - Sigala The Veldt - EP - deadmau5 download or stream the song: Spotify playlist Apple Music iTunes

Tek Weh Yuh Heart - Sean Paul ft. Tory Lanez

tempo: 95 bpm bpm range:   90  to  95 bpm ,  95  to  100 bpm the DJ's take: Probably one of the toughest song names to spell on this site. And to add insult to injury, I still have no idea what it means. Worth a spin during a dancehall set or for a change of pace on a hiphop night. Try mixing with the following: In the 90 to 95 bpm range: The Ocean - Mike Perry ft. Shy Martin Genghis Khan - Miike Snow Slow Motion - Trey Songz Blank Space - Taylor Swift Back That Azz Up - Juvenile If you're between 95 and 100 bpm: Don't Tell 'Em - Jeremih download or stream the song: Spotify playlist Apple Music  iTunes

Throwback Thursday: My Last - Big Sean ft. Chris Brown

tempo: 88 bpm bpm range:   85 bpm  to  90 bpm the DJ's take:  One of those songs you play during a champagne toast at a swanky pool party in the middle of the day. Notable vocalists should be recognizable for a Top 40 crowd. Try mixing with key- and tempo-compatible tracks like: El Amante - Nicky Jam Gold - Kiiara Body Say - Demi Lovato Good For You - Selena Gomez ft. A$AP Rocky Coming Over - Dillon Francis & Kygo ft. James Hersey My Last - Big Sean ft. Chris Brown Karma - Lloyd Banks Hey Ma - Cam'ron download or stream the song: Spotify playlist Apple Music iTunes

Tunnel Vision - Kodak Black

tempo: 86 bpm bpm range:   85 bpm  to  90 bpm the DJ's take:  Kodak Black sounds like a premium product from an analog giant looking to re-gain relevance in a digital world . Not really something that could blow the roof off at a club, but given the buzz, it's worth a spin on a hiphop night. Try mixing with key- and tempo-compatible tracks like: Despacito - Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, Justin Bieber Versace On The Floor - Bruno Mars Chainsaw - Nick Jonas Be As You Are (JordanXL Remix) - Mike Posner Send My Love - Adele The Man - Aloe Blacc Royals - Lorde Paper Planes - MIA download or stream the song: Spotify playlist Apple Music iTunes

El Amante - Nicky Jam

tempo: 90 bpm bpm range:   85 bpm  to  90 bpm ,  90  to  95 bpm the DJ's take:  If nothing else, listening to Latin music makes you learn a little Spanish . Has that nice little bounce almost anyone can dance to.

Comin Out Strong - Future ft. The Weeknd

tempo: 82 bpm bpm range:  80 bpm  to  85 bpm the DJ's take: If The Weeknd is featured prominently on anything, you should probably have it on hand as soon as possible. The fact that this is a Future track is gravy. Solid list of key- and tempo-compatible tracks to mix or mash up with, including: Love & War - Yellow Claw Dirt Off Your Shoulder - Jay-Z Don't Mind - Kent Jones Happy - Pharrell Daydreamin' - Lupe Fiasco Hello (Cover) - Conkarah & Rosie Delmah I Can Transform Ya - Chris Brown Best I Ever Had - Drake download or stream the song: Spotify playlist Apple Music iTunes

Wave Your Flag - Afrojack ft. Luis Fonsi

tempo: 105 bpm bpm range:   100  to  105 bpm ,  105  to  110 bpm the DJ's take:  The singer kinda sounds like Marc Anthony, doesn't he? Anyway, very international vibe - could work during a World Cup telecast or maybe the swimsuit portion of a Miss Universe pageant. Try mixing with the key-compatible tracks in the scroll-down box below: Middle - DJ Snake Picture Me Rollin' - Chris Brown Alive - Sia Ghost - Ella Henderson 2 On - Tinashe Talk Dirty - Jason Derulo Do What U Want - Lady Gaga Hold On, We're Going Home - Drake What's My Name - Rihanna You - Lost Kings ft.

Good Day - Yellow Claw ft. DJ Snake & Elliphant

tempo: 104 bpm bpm range:   100  to  105 bpm the DJ's take: If we're ranking songs about 'good days,' I'm still giving the top spot to Ice Cube . But this should work for the younger folk who want something electronic and hard-hitting.
