Beat Match City

Lil Uzi Vert Antidote - Travis Scott My Way - Fetty Wap Dark Horse - Katy Perry Ghosts N Stuff - deadmau5 And if you want to bump up a couple bpm's: That's What I Like - Bruno Mars Pull Up - Wiz Khalifa Grass Ain't Greener - Chris Brown download or stream the song: spotify playlist apple music itunes

tempo: 130 bpm bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm , 130 to 135 bpm the dj’s take:  If my goal were to induce euphoria in a crowd with one song, I'd probably drop this.

tempo: 93 bpm bpm range: 90  to  95 bpm the DJ’s take: You know what would've been a cool video concept? If they showed an animated charcoal sketch of Kid Cudi singing the song, and our eyes follow along as the lines get slowly erased. Or maybe he's walking around his hood, and his body slow fades. Or maybe I'm unwittingly showing you why I'm not a music video director. Anyway, an interesting change of pace if you spin at a hipster bar.

tempo: 75 bpm bpm range:   70 bpm  to  75 bpm ,  75 bpm  to  80 bpm the dj's take:  Has the feel of taking a sledgehammer to an iceberg.

If you're between 70 and 75 bpm, try mixing with: Sidewalks - The Weeknd Tell Your Friends - The Weeknd Pop That - French Montana Spaceships - Area21 Blast Ya - Borgore ft.

tempo: 55 bpm bpm range:   50 bpm  to  55 bpm ,  55 bpm  to  60 bpm the dj's take: Sounds a bit like Rihanna's  Needed Me  in a different key.

Rihanna Fairly Local - twenty one pilots It Won't Stop - Sevyn Streeter ft.

tempo: 90 bpm bpm range:   85  to  90 bpm ,  90  to  95 bpm the DJ’s take:  If someone makes a mixtape of my pickup basketball highlights from ~2000, this would be good background music. Of course, that would also be the shortest video ever, so kind of a waste anyway. Solid list of key-compatible tracks in two bpm ranges: From 85 to 90 bpm: Go Off - Lil Uzi Vert, Quavo, Travis Scott Sneakin' - Drake, 21 Savage Bye Bye Bye - NSYNC Army - Ellie Goulding From 90 to 95 bpm: No Scrubs - TLC Escápate Conmigo - Wisin ft.

Consider mixing or mashing up with key-compatible tracks like: Kill Em With Kindness - Selena Gomez Hula Hoop - Omi Automatic - ZHU x AlunaGeorge Sugar - Robin Schulz ft. Francesco Yates Sugar - Maroon 5 download or stream the song: spotify playlist apple music iTunes

tempo: 90 bpm bpm range:   85  to  90 bpm ,  90 to 95 bpm the dj’s take:  One of the bigger head-nodders of the early 2000s, back when hiphop was still king.

tempo: 100 bpm bpm range:   95  to  100 bpm ,  100  to  105 bpm the DJ's Take: On one hand, any new Maroon 5 single is a big deal at this point. But the percussion-less interludes present a bit of an issue if you're trying to keep the energy up on a Top 40 dancefloor. Still, this should be in your library - maybe you can do a creative mashup or add some drums of your own. Good list of hits worth mixing with: In the 95 to 100 bpm range: Chained To The Rhythm - Katy Perry ft. Skip Marley Daddy Yo - WizKid Old Thing Back - Matoma & Notorious BIG ft.

tempo: 62 bpm bpm range:   60 bpm  to  65 bpm the dj's take: When the Taeho Lim Leadership Academy (TLLA) opens in about 15 years and we have our first graduation ceremony, this will be blasting over the speakers as each student dabs across the stage and accepts his / her diploma. Brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it. If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing with: What The Price - Migos Real Chill - Rae Sremmurd ??? (Where) - Ty Dolla $ign download or stream Congratulations: Apple Music iTunes

tempo: 65 bpm bpm range:   60 bpm  to  65 bpm ,  65 bpm  to  70 bpm the dj's take: If Hollywood makes a movie on those RL Stine books , this could be a hip theme song.

tempo: 90 bpm bpm range:   85  to  90 bpm ,  90  to  95 bpm the DJ's Take: Guess I'm pretty late on this one. In any case, even if you don't typically spin Latin music, it's a safe bet to get a solid reaction (especially given its international appeal ). Has a gentle bounce you can nod, sway, or get down to. Nice list of key-compatible tracks you can mix or mash up with, including: From 85 to 90 bpm (scroll down in the box below): Encanto - Don Omar, Sharlene Taule My Last - Big Sean ft.

tempo: 92 bpm bpm range:   90  to  95 bpm the DJ's Take:  As the weather warms up, I expect this to be blasting from stereos in various ethnic neighborhoods in NYC.
