Disturbia - Rihanna



tempo: 125 bpm

bpm range: 120 to 125 bpm, 125 to 130 bpm

The DJ's Take: Song #7 in Episode 40 (9:05):



If I'm running a retail store, this one needs to be in the playlist - because we all know fast pop music gets people to buy buy buy. Old enough that I had it in the rotation when it came out. One of the regulars at the bar used to request Disturbia on behalf of the manager, saying she loved the song. I think he was just messing with me though.

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
