Around The World - Daft Punk



tempo: 121 bpm

bpm range: 120 to 125 bpm

the dj's take: This one is for the people who didn't recognize the second song in my No More Tears mixcloud mix (starts at the 1:00 mark):



Sounds interesting, right? First time I heard it was on a radio commercial for a local teen clothing store on Kiss 108 around 1997. Stuck with me. As for the video, just watched it for the first time thanks to the magic of youtube. My reaction (re-enacted by Seann William Scott after the dart hits the mark):



Thoughts and prayers for Frank The Tank. Hope he got the help he needed.

Throwback Thursday: Billie Jean - Michael Jackson

Tempo: 117 bpm Bpm range: 115 to 120 bpm The DJ’s Take:  An iconic pop track that any dj should have in their rotation. No excuses. A good list of key-compatible songs to mix or mash up with, including: Solo Dance - Martin Jensen Routine - Alan Walker x David Whistle Safe And Sound - Justice D.A.N.C.E. - Justice Say My Name - ODESZA ft. Zyra This Town (Tiesto Remix) - Niall Horan Welcome - Martin Garrix & Julian Jordan Get Lucky - Daft Punk If you're willing to drop a couple bpm's, blending this with Poison - Bell Biv Devoe is pure gold.

Starboy - The Weeknd, Daft Punk

tempo: 93 bpm bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #6 in our chapter 53 mix (11:38): As we saw with the I Wonder lead-in, that percussion-only intro makes this easier to mix and to play around with. Also melts nicely into Nine Inch Nails' Closer . In fact, even though I know when the transition's coming, it still creeps up on me a bit. Still worth a spot in your prime-time pop rotation. Some other key-compatible music: Old Thing Back - Matoma & Notorious BIG Back To Sleep - Chris Brown One More Chance (Remix) - Notorious BIG Shoop - Salt N Pepa Out of the Woods - Taylor Swift This Is How We Do - Katy Perry Na Na - Trey Songz Paranoid - Ty Dolla $ign No Games - Serani Download or stream Starboy: spotify playlist amazon

Famous - Kanye West

Speed: 87 bpm bpm range: 85 bpm to 90 bpm The DJ's Take: The leadoff song in our tenthirtynine mix: Good illustration of the saying 'less is more.' Simple, minimal beat with a heavier version of the drums from Good Morning and then a nice little breakdown into the Sister Nancy sample . A proper thump for almost any weekend gig. Try mixing with tracks like: Call Out My Name - The Weeknd Plain Jane - A$AP Ferg Feel Me Flow - Naughty By Nature No Limit - G-Eazy ft. A$AP Rocky, Cardi B Rude Boy - Rihanna Izzo (H.O.V.A.) - Jay-Z Empire State of Mind - Jay-Z ft. Alicia Keys Back to Back - Drake Izzo (H.O.V.A.) - Jay-Z Energy - Drake The Black The Berry - Kendrick Lamar Just A Dream - Nelly Remember Me - T.I. ft. Mary J.
