tempo: 100 bpm bpm range:   95  to  100 bpm ,  100  to  105 bpm the dj's take: Beat sounds like good background music for a high-end sports car commercial. Or maybe the theme for a cinematic remake of Knight Rider: Slick and futuristic; should work in a club setting on a hiphop night. Some key-compatible tracks between 95 and 100 bpm: ELEMENT. - Kendrick Lamar I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me) - Jay-Z Feel No Ways - Drake Company - Justin Bieber Misery - Gwen Stefani Show Me - Kid Ink Animals - Maroon 5 Survival of the Fittest - Mobb Deep You And Your Friends - Wiz Khalifa If you're in the 100 to 105 bpm range, try mixing with: Toothbrush - DNCE Don't Need Nobody - Ellie Goulding BeFoUr - ZAYN Team - Iggy Azalea Nobody Has To Know (Major Lazer & KickRaux Remix) - Kranium ft.

tempo: 102 bpm bpm range:   100  to  105 bpm the dj's take: Without knowing who made the beat beforehand, I would've guessed Major Lazer. Not exactly a distinctive sound, but it's bouncy, danceable, seasonal, and features a notable vocalist. Worth a shot as background music at a cabana bar or during the earlier portion of a pop set. If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing or mashing up with: Sua Cara - Major Lazer Cold - Maroon 5 It Ain't Me - Kygo, Selena Gomez Good Day - Yellow Claw ft.

Maren Morris Call On Me (Ryan Riback Remix) - Starley No Lie - Sean Paul, Dua Lipa Rockabye - Clean Bandit, Sean Paul, Anne-Marie Cool Girl - Tove Lo The Life - Fifth Harmony Hello Friday - Flo Rida ft.

tempo: 125 bpm bpm range:   120  to  125 bpm ,  125 to 130 bpm the DJ’s take: This track is the definition of pop dancehall reggae. People recognize it, and they get down to it. Mix in a singalong chorus, a hard drumbeat, and a simple but effective bassline, and you’ve got a surefire crowd pleaser. If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing with: Between 120 to 125 bpm: Fire Burning - Sean Kingston Kill Em With Kindness - Selena Gomez Hula Hoop - Omi Automatic - ZHU x AlunaGeorge Sugar - Robin Schulz ft. Francesco Yates Sugar - Maroon 5 And from 125 to 130 bpm: Move Your Body (Alan Walker Remix) - Sia WIEE - Martin Garrix If It Ain't Love - Jason Derulo Home - Firebeatz & Jay Hardway Sunglasses At Night - Corey Hart Shut Up and Dance - WALK THE MOON download or stream the song: amazon itunes

tempo: 130 bpm bpm range:   125  to  130 bpm ,  130  to  135 bpm The DJ's Take:  Perfect theme song for when you show up at a party that turns out to be a sausage fest. Probably best employed as a throwback in a pop edm set at a big club. Should get fists pumping with the right crowd. Try mixing with: I Need Your Love - Calvin Harris, Ellie Goulding Where Have You Been - Rihanna Pumped Up Kicks - Foster The People In The Dark - DEV Pump Up The Jam - Technotronic Shots - LMFAO The Way You Move - Outkast Blame - Calvin Harris ft. John Newman Thinking About You - Calvin Harris Va Va Voom - Nicki Minaj Titanium - David Guetta and Sia Turn Me On - David Guetta ft. Nicki Minaj Don't Stop The Party - Black Eyed Peas Take Over Control - Afrojack ft. Eva Simons Where Them Girls At - David Guetta ft. Flo Rida & Nicki Minaj Judas - Lady Gaga Give Me Everything - Pitbull ft. Ne-Yo & Afrojack Till The World Ends - Britney Spears Tonight (I'm Lovin Y

tempo: 122 bpm bpm range: 120 to 125 bpm the DJ’s take:  A forgotten single in the pithy Beyoncé catalog, which should make it all the more interesting to dj's looking for a change of pace. A thick, heavy beat with those signature vocals that should get people wondering if you're spinning something new. Nope; that's just you bringing a little more to the table than the competition. Try mixing with Last Night - P. Diddy ft. Keyshia Cole and Sensual Seduction - Snoop Dogg . download or stream the song: amazon itunes

tempo: 120 bpm bpm range:   115  to  120 bpm ,  120 to 125 bpm the DJ’s take:  Doesn't this almost sound like a Saturday Night Live parody of 2010-era electro-pop? But somehow it was real. And everyone loved it . Your crowd probably still does - worth spinning at a wedding or during the throwback portion of a Top 40 set. If you're staying key-compatible, here are some songs to mix / mash up with between 115 and 120 bpm: 1999 - Prince Love To Lay - The Weeknd Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better) - Felix Jaehn ft. Jasmine Thompson I Don't Like It, I Love It - Flo Rida Love Never Felt So Good - Michael Jackson All My Love (Remix) - Major Lazer Motown Philly - Boyz II Men Uptown Funk - Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars And from 120 to 125 bpm: Let Me Love You - Ne-Yo I Really Like You - Carly Rae Jepsen   New Romantics - Taylor Swift Book of Love - Felix Jaehn Now You See It - Honorebel ft. Pitbull and Jump Smokers download or stream the song: amazon

tempo: 85 bpm bpm range:   80 bpm  to  85 bpm ,  85 bpm  to  90 bpm the DJ’s take:  Perfect music for a workout, a pep rally, or a desperate all-night study session right before an exam. The piano and the guitar work well off each other, and T.I. rides the beat like a pro. If you're spinning hiphop or doing a freeform set at a dive bar, get this one in the playlist. Try mixing or mashing up with: Between 80 and 85 bpm: Gotta Lotta - 2 Chainz ft. Lil Wayne See You Again - Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth The Heart Wants What It Wants - Selena Gomez Party - Beyoncé Come & Get It - Selena Gomez Bounce - 2 Chainz ft. Lil Wayne And from 85 to 90 bpm: Love The Way You Lie - Eminem & Rihanna Irreplaceable - Beyoncé At My Best - Machine Gun Kelly ft. Hailee Steinfeld Started From The Bottom - Drake download or stream the song: amazon itunes

tempo: 100 bpm bpm range:   95  to  100 bpm ,  100  to  105 bpm the dj's take: More Daft Punk than David Guetta, isn't it? And how come remixes / mashups often have 'vs' between the artists' names? Shouldn't it be 'and'? Anyway, worth a spin at the local roller rink. Or on disco night. If you're between 95 and 100 bpm, try mixing / mashing up with: Nuthin' But A G Thang - Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg Same Old Love - Selena Gomez And from 100 to 105 bpm: Jump - Kris Kross Feels - Calvin Harris Mama - Jonas Blue, William Singe LoveGame - Lady Gaga Something Just Like This - The Chainsmokers & Coldplay The One - The Chainsmokers Paris - The Chainsmokers Kids - OneRepublic I'm In Control - AlunaGeorge Perfect (Matoma Remix) - One Direction Cheyenne - Jason Derulo Shots - Imagine Dragons Classic - The Knocks Midnight City - M83 Alejandro - Lady Gaga download or stream the song: amazon spotify playlist itun

tempo: 115 bpm bpm range: 110 to 115 bpm , 115 to 120 bpm the DJ’s take: New Jack Swing is sort of like the dinosaurs - it’s extinct, and no one really knows what happened, but it’s still pretty cool. In fact, scientific studies have shown that playing this gives people the irresistible urge to do the running man. Mix with tracks like Poison and It Takes Two , and watch your crowd pretend it’s really cheesy, while secretly enjoying themselves way more than they should. If you're staying key-compatible, try mashing up with: From 110 to 115 bpm: Like A Prayer - Madonna Shining - DJ Khaled, Jay-Z, Beyoncé Get Ugly - Jason Derulo Grenade - Bruno Mars From 115 to 120 bpm: 1999 - Prince Tik Tok - Ke$ha Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better) - Felix Jaehn ft. Jasmine Thompson I Don't Like It, I Love It - Flo Rida Love Never Felt So Good - Michael Jackson All My Love (Remix) - Major Lazer Uptown Funk - Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars download or stream the song

tempo: 95 bpm bpm range:   90  to  95 bpm ,  95  to  100 bpm the dj's take:  Beat feels like a brighter version of 0 to 100. Won't receive the same reaction as HUMBLE. or DNA., but it's got the giddy-up to keep things moving on a hiphop night. Strong list of key-compatible singles to mix with: In the 90 to 95 bpm range: Blame It - Jamie Foxx Can't Deny It - Fabolous ft. Nate Dogg Hypnotize - Notorious BIG Olé - John Newman Heathens - twenty one pilots Youth - Troye Sivan 0 To 100 - Drake Bailando - Enrique Iglesias Partition - Beyoncé Killing Me Softly - Fugees From 95 to 100 bpm: I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me) - Jay-Z Feel No Ways - Drake Company - Justin Bieber Misery - Gwen Stefani Show Me - Kid Ink Animals - Maroon 5 Survival of the Fittest - Mobb Deep You And Your Friends - Wiz Khalifa download or stream the song: amazon spotify playlist (90 to 95 bpm) spotify playlist (95 to 100 bpm) apple music

tempo: 78 bpm bpm range:   75  to  80 bpm the dj's take: What does PIE mean? Is it an acronym? Some term that the urban kids are slinging around? Given that it's a Future and Chris Brown track, I probably don't want to know (see Truffle Butter ). Regardless, the notable vocalists should give this one a boost; worth a flier in the earlier portion of a pop / hiphop set. If you're looking for something key-compatible to mix or mash up with, try combining with  Stitches - Shawn Mendes . download or stream the song: amazon itunes

tempo: 112 bpm bpm range: 110 to 115 bpm the DJ’s take: One of those rare tracks where everyone recognizes it from the first couple beats, and they immediately react like this . Came out around 1990, and very few if any tracks since then have managed to match it for straight danceability and sing-along-ability. Simply put, you need this in your collection. Try mixing or mashing up with: Routine - Alan Walker x David Whistle Safe And Sound - Justice D.A.N.C.E. - Justice Kiss The Sky - Jason Derulo Fast Car - Jonas Blue ft. Dakota C O O L - Le Youth Say My Name - ODESZA ft. Zyra Mic Jack - Big Boi & Adam Levine download or stream the song: amazon spotify playlist itunes

tempo: 107 bpm bpm range: 105 to 110 bpm the DJ’s take: Doesn’t matter if you’re at a frat party, a club, or a wedding - play this and people will jump around and raise their hands in the air. Skip through the 7-8 second intro with the horns, then start off with the first beat. A classic with universal appeal. If you don’t have it, get it. If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing with: Changes - Tupac Shakur I Wish (My Taylor Swift) - The Knocks & Matthew Koma Feel Right - Mark Ronson ft. Mystikal Peaches N Cream - Snoop Dogg Get Down On It - Kool & The Gang Trouble - Iggy Azalea ft. Jennifer Hudson Doing It - Charli XCX ft. Rita Ora Let's Get Blown - Snoop Dogg ft. Pharrell download or stream the song: amazon spotify playlist itunes

tempo: 62 bpm bpm range:   60 bpm  to  65 bpm the dj's take: Probably better implemented in a choreographed dance crew video than a typical pop dj set. But if you have some hiphop fans on hand, this is worth a spin. Features a legitimate thump that should sound good on club speakers. More importantly, big names generate buzz, and it doesn't get any more notable than Drake these days. If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing or mashing up with: LOVE. FEAT. ZACARI. - Kendrick Lamar, Zacari Sign of the Times - Harry Styles Weak - AJR The Recipe - Kendrick Lamar Hotline Bling - Drake No Sense - Justin Bieber ft. Travi$ Scott No Type - Rae Sremmurd oui - Jeremih I Should've Cheated - Keyshia Cole Here - Alessia Cara Blasé (feat. Future & Rae Sremmurd) - Ty Dolla $ign download or stream the song: amazon spotify playlist itunes

tempo: 84 bpm bpm range:   80 bpm  to  85 bpm the dj's take: Is the sample in the beat from Mary Poppins or something? That uplifting female vocal kind of reminds me of Wyclef Jean's Apocalypse . Anyway, a little busy for my taste, but should play just fine with a hiphop crowd. The buzz around a DJ Khaled single is palpable, and the all-star cast should get the juices flowing. Try mixing with key-compatible tracks like: Dirt Off Your Shoulder - Jay-Z Best I Ever Had - Drake Comin Out Strong - Future ft. The Weeknd Love & War - Yellow Claw Don't Mind - Kent Jones Daydreamin' - Lupe Fiasco Hello (Cover) - Conkarah & Rosie Delmah I Can Transform Ya - Chris Brown download or stream the song: amazon spotify playlist itunes
