End Game - Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Future

tempo: 79-80 bpm bpm range:   75 bpm  to  80 bpm ,  80 bpm  to  85 bpm the dj's take: Seems like an unusual spot for a feature from Future. Then again, he did do this: Hard to say no to a paycheck, especially for an entertainer. Try mixing / mashing up with: Get It Right - Diplo, MØ Dance (A$$) Remix - Big Sean ft. Nicki Minaj The Story of OJ - Jay-Z Thunder - Imagine Dragons Big Poppa - Notorious BIG Just A Friend - Biz Markie M.I.L.F. $ - Fergie Hold Up - Beyoncé Stressed Out - twenty one pilots Trumpets - Jason Derulo Wiggle - Jason Derulo Pills N Potions - Nicki Minaj Down On Me - Jeremih ft. 50 Cent download or stream End Game: amazon spotify playlist

In The Dark - Camila Cabello

tempo: 88 bpm bpm range:   85  to  90 bpm the dj's take:  Long percussion-less interludes make this a tough spin at a gig where you need to keep the energy up. But if it's just background music, a recorded set, or you can do the proper editing, this should fit in just fine. A few other key-compatible tracks to mix with: Bad Blood - Taylor Swift ft. Kendrick Lamar We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together - Taylor Swift Hey Mama - David Guetta ft. Nicki Minaj Not A Bad Thing - Justin Timberlake Nobody Has To Know - Kranium ft. Ty Dolla $ign Fight Song - Rachel Platten download or stream In The Dark: amazon spotify playlist itunes

I Miss You - Clean Bandit ft. Julia Michaels

tempo: 105 bpm bpm range:   100  to  105 bpm ,  105  to  110 bpm the dj's take: Sounds like a lighter  Sorry , so there's an easy mix / mashup right there. Good buzz on the streaming platforms, so people should recognize it, and has a solid bounce a pop crowd can dance to. Long list of key-compatible tracks: Is That For Me - Alesso & Anitta Let Me Love You - DJ Snake, Justin Bieber Friends - Justin Bieber, BloodPop® Get Low - Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz False Alarm - Matoma, Becky Hill Invitation - Yellow Claw ft. Yade Lauren Hymn For The Weekend (Seeb Remix) - Coldplay, Seeb Promise - Kid Ink ft. Fetty Wap Try Me - Jason Derulo ft.

Sam Smith About You - Trey Songz You Know You Like It - DJ Snake and AlunaGeorge Worth It - Fifth Harmony I'm Sprung - T-Pain Stuck On A Feeling - P

Wild Ones - Flo Rida ft. Sia

tempo: 127 bpm bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm The DJ's Take:  A top 5 song back in 2012, and an essential element in any pop edm playlist. Even more impressive - apparently that hook took only 15 minutes to write (via wikipedia): Worth a spin on a mainstream dance night. Try mixing with: Beautiful People - Chris Brown & Benny Benassi Who Dat Girl - Flo Rida ft. Akon Animals - Martin Garrix I Like It - Enrique Iglesias ft. Pitbull Wildest Dreams (R3hab Remix) - Taylor Swift Now That I've Found You - Martin Garrix Haters - Deorro & Will Sparks ft. iE-z I'll House You (VIP Mix) - Don Diablo ft.

MOTi Strong - R3HAB and KSHMR Disarm You - Kaskade Open Wide - Calvin Harris Flashlight - R3hab & Deorro #SELFIE - The Chainsmokers Cannonball (Earthquake) - Showtek & Justin Prime ft. Matthew Koma I Love It - Icona Pop Under Control - Calvin Harris & Alesso Stay The Night - Zedd

Finesse - Bruno Mars

tempo: 105 bpm bpm range: 100 to 105 bpm , 105 to 110 bpm The DJ's Take: Put Bobby Brown on the track and I wouldn't bat an eyelash. Pretty accurate early 90s throwback vibe, and worth a spin in the earlier part of a Top 40 set. Video for the remix needed a cameo from Jamie Foxx (or even Jim Carrey) and J. Lo. Cardi B provides a little Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes vibe. If you're staying key-compatible in the 100 to 105 bpm range, try mixing with: Let Me Go - Hailee Steinfeld, Alesso, Florida Georgia Line, watt Particula - Major Lazer & DJ Maphorisa Goodies - Ciara This Is How We Do It - Montell Jordan The Cure - Lady Gaga Stay - Zedd, Alessia Cara Get Busy - Sean Paul Body Moves - DNCE That’s My Girl - Fifth Harmony We Can (feat.

Don't Wanna Go Home - Jason Derulo

tempo: 122 bpm bpm range: 120 to 125 bpm The DJ's Take: This was a big hit on this site early on. Kind of random, but I can see why. Notable vocalist and a dancefloor-friendly beat that should work in just about any setting with people of all ages. Shoutout to Harry Belafonte and Robin S . Try mixing with: Now You See It - Honorebel ft. Pitbull & Jumpsmokers Nocturnal - Disclosure ft. The Weeknd Book of Love - Felix Jaehn New Romantics - Taylor Swift I Really Like You - Carly Rae Jepsen Let Me Love You - NeYo California Gurls - Katy Perry Could be a nice follow-up after the key change in Sisqo's Thong Song too. download or stream Don't Wanna Go Home: amazon spotify playlist itunes

Family Feud - Jay-Z ft. Beyoncé

tempo: 83 bpm bpm range:   80 bpm  to  85 bpm the dj's take:  Probably won't pop with the youth on a Top 40 or hiphop night. But it's elegant, dignified, and something the grown folk can nod their heads to. I could see turntablists having some fun with this too. Worth a spot in the car or around-the-house playlist. Some tracks to mix with in the 80 to 85 bpm range: Tell Me You Love Me - Demi Lovato Plain Jane - A$AP Ferg Dirty Sexy Money - David Guetta The Way Life Goes - Lil Uzi Vert Black Widow - Iggy Azalea ft. Rita Ora Reaper - Sia Walk It Out - DJ Unk And from 86 to 88 bpm: Rude Boy - Rihanna Izzo (H.O.V.A.) - Jay-Z Empire State of Mind - Jay-Z ft. Alicia Keys Famous - Kanye West Back to Back - Drake Energy - Drake The Black The Berry - Kendrick Lamar Remember Me - T.I. ft. Mary J. Blige download or stream Family Feud: amazon itunes

On The Floor - Jennifer Lopez ft. Pitbull

tempo: 130 bpm bpm range:   125  to  130 bpm ,  130  to  135 bpm The DJ's Take:  J. Lo and Pitbull - a partnership that brought us one of the great in-concert images of the 2010s : Hey; he's only human. As for the track, a loud, thumping mega-hit when it came out. Still has value as a throwback on a dance-oriented, unpretentious Top 40 night. Try mixing / mashing up with: The Right Song - Tiesto & Oliver Heldens A Sky Full Of Stars - Coldplay You Make Me - Avicii Calabria - Enur When Love Takes Over - David Guetta, Kelly Rowland We Found Love - Calvin Harris ft. Rihanna Oops - Martin Garrix The Right Song - Tiesto & Oliver Heldens A Sky Full Of Stars - Coldplay You Make Me - Avicii Give It 2 U - Robin Thicke Live For The Night - Krewella Don't Stop The Party - Pitbull Right Now - Rihanna and David Guetta S&M - Rihanna Low (feat. T-Pain) - Flo Rida download or stream On The Floor: amazon spotify playlist itunes

Beautiful People - Chris Brown & Benny Benassi

tempo: 128 bpm bpm range:   125  to  130 bpm The DJ's Take:  Fist pumpability on this one is a 13 out of 10. And if they ever do another Zoolander movie, here's your theme song. Stash it away for your next edm or festival gig. Long list of key-compatible tracks to mix with: Who Dat Girl - Flo Rida ft. Akon Animals - Martin Garrix I Like It - Enrique Iglesias ft.
