tempo: 103 bpm bpm range:   100  to  105 bpm the dj's take:  Feels like this should be the theme song for a travel show geared toward teenagers. Heavy percussion, and rich piano & synths make this a good choice for a concert or festival set. Pretty sure Lorde fans won't be disappointed. And in case you were wondering where the lyrics came from, Genius has the inside scoop from the artist herself . Interesting look at the story behind the song.

tempo: 66 bpm bpm range: 65 bpm  to  70 bpm the DJ’s take: Apparently still one of Rob Gronkowski's favorite songs , and a frat party anthem. Maybe a little outdated, but I could still see this getting a good reaction at a college bar. Worth a spin as a hype-the-crowd throwback.

tempo: 85 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm to 85 bpm , 85 bpm to 90 bpm the DJ’s take: Production on this reminds me of the dungeon music from Final Fantasy on the original Game Boy. Should go over well in a high school football locker room, within a group of spies before a big mission, or among a dentist and his / her hygienists before a root canal. Not exactly key-compatible, but if you're between 80 and 85 bpm, try mixing with: Sure Thing - Miguel Golden - Travie McCoy ft.

tempo: 128 bpm bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm the DJ’s take: A '50s sound you can spin in a modern pop set - I'm in. Went as high as #2 on the Billboard charts in 2010, and that hook is probably the most popular expression in the English language, which should prompt a singalong more often than not. Worth a spin as a throwback or in a freeform Top 40 set. Fun wikipedia fact: In an interview , CeeLo says the 'girl' in the song represents the music industry. Sounds like a real firecracker to me. Long list of key-compatible tracks to mix or mash up with: Supercut - Lorde I'm In Miami Bitch - LMFAO Right Round - Flo Rida Boom Boom Pow! - Black Eyed Peas Intoxicated - Martin Solveig & GTA Higher Place - Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike ft.

tempo: 89 bpm bpm range: 85 bpm  to  90 bpm the dj's take: Someone needs to explain that video to me; ~7 minutes of it went right over my head. That said, I couldn't stop watching.

tempo: 68-69 bpm bpm range: 65 bpm  to  70 bpm the dj's take: Seems like in pop culture and song / movie titles, adjectives come in three's: the good, the bad, and the ugly , the hot, the cool and the vicious , young, wild and free , and fat, drunk and stupid: Add this song to the list. Should work on a pop or more laidback hiphop night, especially with a younger crowd. On a side note, Khalid sounds like Hozier , doesn't he? Or maybe it's the other way around. Anyway, if you're staying key-compatible, try mixing with: Beat It - Michael Jackson What If - Kevin Gates T-Shirt - Migos Real Chill - Rae Sremmurd ft. Kodak Black ???
