Beat Match City

tempo: 66 bpm bpm range:   65 bpm  to  70 bpm the DJ's take:  Two notable names and a contemporary beat should keep things moving on a hiphop night. And if you like watching YouTube dance videos,  here's a blast from the past that's spot on . Try mixing or mashing up with key-compatible tracks like: Gucci On My - Mike WiLL Made-It, 21 Savage, YG, Migos Fake Love - Drake Hotline Bling - Drake No Sense - Justin Bieber download or stream the song: Spotify playlist Apple Music iTunes

tempo: 55 bpm bpm range:   50 bpm  to  55 bpm ,  55 bpm  to  60 bpm the DJ's take: When it's done right, opera in a hiphop beat can add a little gusto. Like switching out the Sweet N Low in your morning coffee and adding some brown sugar & cinnamon. Try mixing or mashing up with key-compatible tracks like: March Madness - Future Needed Me - Rihanna 2 Phones - Kevin Gates CoCo - O.T. Genasis Birthday Sex - Jeremih Man of the Year - SchoolBoy Q Loveeeeeee Song - Rihanna ft. Future download or stream the song: Spotify playlist Apple Music iTunes

tempo: 84 bpm bpm range:   80 bpm  to  85 bpm the DJ's take: Same key, almost the same bpm as Kanye & T-Pain's Good Life ... coincidence or not? Regardless, that's an easy mix / mashup right there . Sounds a little 2010-ish, but should keep the line moving on a pop or hipPop night. download or stream the song: Apple Music iTunes

tempo: 85 bpm bpm range:   80 bpm  to  85 bpm ,  85 bpm  to  90 bpm the DJ's take: Kind of feels like Love The Way You Lie . Probably won't catch fire the same way, but I'd give it a go during the new music portion of a pop set. Try mixing with key- and tempo-compatible tracks like: In the 80 to 85 bpm range: Bounce - 2 Chainz ft. Lil Wayne Gotta Lotta - 2 Chainz ft. Lil Wayne See You Again - Wiz Khalifa ft.

Rihanna Irreplaceable - Beyoncé download or stream the song: Spotify playlist Apple Music iTunes

tempo: 123 bpm bpm range:   120  to  125 bpm the DJ's take:  A little on the light side, so probably more female-friendly. Break this one out at your next high school or middle school dance.

tempo: 55 bpm bpm range:   50 bpm  to  55 bpm ,  55 bpm  to  60 bpm the DJ's take: Probably not something you want to spin at a regular gig. Then again, people dj at yoga classes , so why not try this out during an Insomniacs Anonymous therapy session? Would also fit in nicely during a perfume commercial.

tempo: 105 bpm bpm range:   100  to  105 bpm ,  105  to  110 bpm the DJ's take: Chorus reminds me of that LL Cool J song from back in the day . Has a nice little giddy-up (like One Dance ) that should keep things moving in a mid-tempo mix.

tempo: 90 bpm bpm range:   85  to  90 bpm ,  90  to  95 bpm the DJ's take: So where do we classify this one - adult contemporary electro?

tempo: 100 bpm bpm range:   95  to  100 bpm ,  100  to  105 bpm the DJ's take: Feels like an extended variation on the drop from The Chainsmokers' Roses . Worth playing in the earlier portion of a pop night. If you're in the 95 to 100 bpm range, try mixing with: Juicy - Notorious BIG Shape Of You - Ed Sheeran Cool - Daya Love Yourself - Justin Bieber I'm Up - Omarion Love Me Harder - Ariana Grande ft. The Weeknd Rack City - Tyga Going Back To Cali - Notorious BIG Trillmatic - A$AP Mob HeadBand - B.o.B Sorry Not Sorry - Bryson Tiller And if you're in the 100 to 105 bpm range, try mixing with: Slide - Calvin Harris, Frank Ocean, Migos Touch - Little Mix Mo Money, Mo Problems - Notorious BIG STARVING - Hailee Steinfeld & Grey ft.
