Ether - Nas



tempo: 81 bpm

bpm range: 80 bpm to 85 bpm

the dj's take: Song #7 in our Episode 14 mix (16:37):



Probably the first (and last) time anyone will ever transition from Lorde straight into Nas. Yet another reason to subscribe.

As for the track itself, it's hard to overstate its status in the pantheon of hiphop disses. Some people believe Jay-Z cried in the aftermath. Worth a spin on a throwback night in NYC - the older folk will appreciate the knowledge.

Try mixing with:

Live Your Life - T.I. ft. Rihanna
Dipset Anthem - The Diplomats
Downtown - Anitta & J Balvin
Chainsaw - Nick Jonas
Be As You Are (JordanXL Remix) - Mike Posner
Send My Love - Adele
Royals - Lorde

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
