Freedom - Beyoncé ft. Kendrick Lamar

tempo: 85 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm  to  85 bpm ,  85 bpm  to  90 bpm the dj's take: Track #4 in Volume 35: Back to School (8:56): That transition from Clique is about as close as I can come to taking you to church, outside of lugging an organ into your house and busting out a Bach fugue. Or asking for a donation to fund my private jet . Full compliments to Just Blaze and Hit-Boy. Try mixing with: School Spirit - Kanye West Good Morning - Kanye West Clique - Kanye West, Jay-Z, Big Sean Black and Yellow - Wiz Khalifa Feels Like Summer - Childish Gambino Dilemma - Nelly ft. Kelly Rowland download or stream Freedom: amazon spotify playlist

Pursuit of Happiness - Kid Cudi ft. MGMT, Ratatat

tempo: 58 bpm bpm range: 55 bpm  to  60 bpm the dj's take: Track #2 in mix 36 (1:53): Cool breakdown of how the beat was made: As for the placement within the mix, it's a nice little bridge from something slower and dreamy into the upbeat pop that energizes a crowd. I bet at least a few people will sing along on any given night; worth a longer-term spot in the rotation. Some other key-compatible music: Circles - Post Malone Never Be Like You - Flume ft.

tempo: 117 bpm bpm range: 115 to 120 bpm the dj's take: Song #4 in mix 36 (6:37): No doubt this'll be a go-to at ballroom dance competitions for years to come.
