Wow. - Post Malone



tempo: 100 bpm

bpm range: 95 to 100 bpm, 100 to 105 bpm

the dj's take: Song title makes me think of the acronym for World of Warcraft. I remember going outside for a smoke break in grad school, and this guy showed me an index card he kept in his pocket with a diagram of all the keyboard controls. It looked like this (via gamecareerguide.com):


How do people keep track of all that? My middle-aged brain can only handle games that use 5-6 buttons and a directional pad. Anyway, after he tried to explain it to me, all I could say was 'Wow.'

As for the music, if you're in the 95 to 100 bpm range, try mixing with:

Hold On, We're Going Home - Drake
Sober - G-Eazy ft. Charlie Puth
You're All I Need To Get By - Method Man ft. Mary J. Blige
Find Your Love - Drake
What's My Name - Rihanna ft. Drake
Galway Girl - Ed Sheeran
Alive - Sia
Talk Dirty - Jason Derulo
Do What U Want - Lady Gaga
It Girl - Pharrell
Opposite of Adults - Chiddy Bang

And between 100 and 105 bpm:

Picture Me Rollin' - Chris Brown
Most Girls - Hailee Steinfeld
Ghost - Ella Henderson
2 On - Tinashe
You - Lost Kings ft. Katelyn Tarver
Scenario - A Tribe Called Quest

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
