Hips Don't Lie - Shakira ft. Wyclef Jean

tempo: 100 bpm bpm range:   95  to  100 bpm , 100 to 105 bpm the dj's take: Track #6 in our version 31 mix (13:21): Talk about painting with a broad brush - I found a video that totally disproves the song title: Curious as to how many aspiring little Lionel Messis have popped a knee or an ankle practicing this. I put the over/under at ~25,000 worldwide. As for the track, those opening notes are pretty distinctive - worth a spin on a throwback pop night.

Pump It Up - Joe Budden

tempo: 105 bpm bpm range: 100 to 105 bpm , 105  to  110 bpm the dj's take: Track #4 in our version 31 mix (6:40): Song title reminds me of Dee Brown in the 1991 Slam Dunk Contest: Full disclosure: My mom got me a pair of these in sixth grade. Best gimmick I ever fell for. Apparently Reebok still makes them - this edition reminds me of the vest a school crossing guard would wear.

Grindin' - Clipse

tempo: 96 bpm bpm range: 95  to  100 bpm the dj's take: The penultimate track in Triple X (32:53): Probably the record I spun the most at college parties in 2002-03. Used to pair it a lot with Jay-Z's I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me) , and the transition into Kendrick Lamar's ELEMENT. is a highlight. Try mixing with: IDGAF - Dua Lipa Regulate - Warren G. ft.

Champion - Kanye West

tempo: 102 bpm bpm range: 100 to 105 bpm the dj's take: Song #8 in our version 31 mix (17:48): Kind of a tricky beat to match, especially as you're going back and forth between the sampled hook and the verses. But we made it work somehow - decent transitions in and out. Try mixing with: Got To Get It - Sisqó Me Rehúso - Danny Ocean thank u, next - Ariana Grande Questions - Chris Brown My My My! - Troye Sivan For Free - DJ Khaled ft.

Got To Get It - Sisqó

tempo: 102 bpm bpm range: 100 to 105 bpm the dj's take: Song #3 in our version 31 mix (4:11): Sure, everyone knows the Thong Song, but this one fell through the cracks. Nice transition from One Dance , and should get a decent reaction on a throwback pop night, even if no one knows the words.

Trophies - Young Money ft. Drake

tempo: 72 bpm bpm range:   70 bpm  to  75 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #4 in our 32XL mix (8:14): Whether you just won the Super Bowl or the city tiddlywinks championship, this should be blasting over the speakers as you accept the hardware. Also worth a spin as a hard-hitting hype track in a hiphop set. Try mixing with: GIve Me  A Try - Sizzla OMG - Camila Cabello ft. Quavo Back To You - Louis Tomlinson & Bebe Rexha All Night - The Vamps & Matoma Broccoli - D.R.A.M. ft.

Amazing - Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy

tempo: 73 bpm bpm range: 70 bpm  to  75 bpm the dj's take: Song #7 in our 32XL mix (15:53): As you can hear, we made good use of that opening percussion to smooth out the transitions in and out - might be the highlight of the session, in my opinion. Good one to drop on a pop or a hiphop night. Some other key-compatible tracks: Bottoms Up - Trey Songz ft. Nicki Minaj SAD! - XXXTENTACION All Night - The Vamps & Matoma Broccoli - D.R.A.M. ft.
