Wasted Times - The Weeknd



tempo: 61-62 bpm

bpm range: 60 bpm to 65 bpm

the dj's take: That song title would be a good name for a newspaper where the journalists are required to drink at least 4 martinis per article. Also, some advice for the young men out there - if you've had a falling out with a girl you like, just text her these lyrics (via Genius) and she'll fall in love all over again:


And if that doesn't work, at least tweet me her response so I can have a good laugh at your expense.

DJ mix/mashup: no can do because of you (ft. Hall & Oates and Ne-Yo)

Made with Logic Pro at 113 bpm A quick clip from the last mix , and one of my favorite transitions in it. Kind of alluring, mysterious; maybe we can make a more fully realized remix/mashup someday. If you're wondering what the image is in the background at the start of the video, those are quahogs and a channeled whelk I dug out of the sand in low tide on a recent beach trip. Pretty solid haul, and good eating for sure. Although I probably should've kept them separate - apparently whelks like to eat the clams .

dj mix/mashup: 6 man [drake] x devil in a new dress [kanye west, rick ross]

Made with Logic Pro at 82 bpm Clip from mix #69 - two big beats on top of each other, which I could've done a better job adjusting for a cleaner sound. But if you listen to the actual mix, the transition sounds smooth; my goal for this video was to create a loop that feels like the first draft of a mashup/remix. Worth building on for a future project. Key- and bpm-compatible playlist
