Beat Match City

  tempo: 74 bpm bpm range:   70 bpm  to  75 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #8 in our 8 Track Rap Sampler (12:10): It's the final track, so you want to start a little earlier for some actual mixing. Big, booming, and apparently a 2015 Guinness Book record-holder (via wikipedia ): A worthy selection in a hiphop set, and one of the rare 6 minute singles that may just hold the crowd's attention the whole way through.

tempo: 103 bpm bpm range: 100 to 105 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #10 in our Beat Salad mix (20:58): If only this had come out about 10 years earlier - could've been the theme song for a major motion picture: Should get a decent reception on a hiphop night (or at a Bay Area house party).

tempo: 100 bpm bpm range: 100 to 105 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #5 in Pop Sampler 2.0 (9:10): Probably not something a dj would drop in prime-time on its own. But it goes well with some other reasonably recent hits, so that can extend the vibe a couple extra minutes. Maybe start out with this and build up to something bigger.

tempo: 86 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm  to  85 bpm ,  85 bpm  to  90 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #6 in our tenthirtynine mix (13:08): Not exactly exhilarating, but a heavy beat that should keep things moving on a hiphop night. Nice transition by me going into Jay-Z's Izzo (H.O.V.A.) [pats self on back] - starts at 14:58; kind of like a chef's equivalent of blending the salty with the sweet.
