Beat Match City

tempo: 111 bpm bpm range: 110  to  115 bpm the dj's take: I remember seeing this video on MTV as a kid and thinking 'what a strange guy... but what a funky song.' A true throwback that should get a positive reaction on a pop or 80s night, in a free-form dance set, or just about anywhere else. Some other key-compatible tracks worth mixing with: From 110 to 115 bpm: 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.

tempo: 62 bpm bpm range: 60 bpm  to  65 bpm the dj's take: If nothing else, this needs to get some play at the next Victoria's Secret fashion show as the models with the wings prance around. Sounds more like something for The Weeknd or G-Eazy, but this works too. Worth a flier earlier on in a pop night. If you're staying key-compatible, try half-timing into: Dynamite - Taio Cruz Thong Song - Sisqo Zero - Chris Brown Fuego - Alok, Bhaskar Somebody's Watching Me - Rockwell Stereo Love - Edward Maya and Vika Jigulina Maps - Maroon 5 download or stream the song: amazon itunes

tempo: 82 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm to 85 bpm the DJ’s take: A big hit with a massive hook and a booming beat.

tempo: 96 bpm bpm range: 95  to  100 bpm the dj's take: The bounce is strong in this one. Plus, the high-pitched buzz adds a little texture.

tempo: 126 bpm bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm the dj's take: If Don Diablo did a remix of This Is What You Came For , this is what it would sound like.

tempo: 67-68 bpm bpm range: 65  to  70 bpm the dj's take: Beat feels like a brighter version of Katy Perry's Dark Horse , especially with the fingersnaps.

tempo: 70 bpm bpm range: 65 bpm  to  70 bpm ,  70 bpm  to  75 bpm the dj's take: Didn't Gucci Mane do a song with a similar title awhile back ?

tempo: 135 bpm bpm range: 130 to 135 bpm , 135 to 140 bpm the DJ’s take: I used to play this a lot when it came out.
