Safe and Sound - Capital Cities

tempo: 118 bpm bpm range: 115  to  120 bpm the DJ's Take: Track #7 in mix 36 (13:27): The video reminds me of a music / jazz appreciation class I took in high school or college, where we were introduced to the Nicholas Brothers: Holy crap. Imagine the talent, practice, and stretching that goes into it. Plus a lot of luck, because there were definitely some rough rehearsals along the way. The key takeaway: even after all those splits, wikipedia says they were still able to have kids. Good on them. As for the track, try double-timing over: LOYALTY. (FEAT. RIHANNA). - Kendrick Lamar I Don't Wanna Live Forever - ZAYN, Taylor Swift Never Be Like You - Flume ft.

New Rules - Dua Lipa

tempo: 116 bpm bpm range:   115  to  120 bpm the dj's take: Song #5 in mix 36 (9:04): Reminds me of Calvinball from Calvin and Hobbes - minimal rules, and you make new ones up as you go. Best of luck to the fictional lady singing the song; first step is awareness of the issue, but implementation will be a challenge. Try double-timing over: LOYALTY. (FEAT. RIHANNA). - Kendrick Lamar I Don't Wanna Live Forever - ZAYN, Taylor Swift Never Be Like You - Flume ft. Kai Pursuit of Happiness - Kid Cudi Girls Like You - Maroon 5 Moonlight - XXXTENTACION Never Be The Same - Camila Cabello Faking It - Calvin Harris ft.

SexyBack - Justin Timberlake

tempo: 117 bpm bpm range: 115 to 120 bpm the DJ's take: Song #6 in mix 36 (11:02): That transition from New Rules is on-point. Not sure if people still get down to this, or if it's just something you throw on for a little comic relief at a wedding. Either way, definitely worth a spin on a throwback night.

Red Lights - Tïesto

tempo: 125 bpm bpm range: 120  to  125 bpm ,  125  to  130 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #3 in mix #37 (3:04): Video evidence of what happens when you 'just run them red lights': Is it just me, or are the offending cars going too slowly through the light? Because I'd be flooring it and hoping for the best - then hitting the brakes hard when a t-bone looks imminent. Guessing these guys are old, drunk, or texting.
