Nobody to Love - Sigma

tempo: 87 bpm bpm range: 85 bpm to 90 bpm the dj's take: The final track in chapter 39 (17:46): Had a hard time beatmatching with a number of the songs in this mix; maybe it was the software. All good in the end though - that opening piano riff over the end of Ariana Grande's needy sounds like its own separate single. Good vibe for a rave where the redbull is flowing freely. Some other key-compatible tracks: break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored Come Undone - Duran Duran Say You Will - Kanye West Last Call - Kanye West Bag Lady- Erykah Badu Xxplosive - Dr. Dre Not Afraid - Eminem Two Birds, One Stone - Drake Waterfalls - TLC Impatient - Jeremih ft.

needy - Ariana Grande

tempo: 87 bpm bpm range: 85 bpm to 90 bpm the dj's take: Song #9 in chapter 39 (15:33): This is basically break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored pt. II, right? Almost the same bpm, same key, and a toned down vibe with minimal percussion. Could make for an interesting mashup. Some other key-compatible tracks: Come Undone - Duran Duran Say You Will - Kanye West Last Call - Kanye West Bag Lady- Erykah Badu Xxplosive - Dr. Dre Not Afraid - Eminem Two Birds, One Stone - Drake Waterfalls - TLC Impatient - Jeremih ft.

Come Undone - Duran Duran

tempo: 87 bpm bpm range: 85 bpm to 90 bpm the dj's take: Track #8 in chapter 39 (13:32): A random idea for Brooklyn hipster musicians / sports fans: Start up a band called Durant Durant. Everyone wears Kevin Durant jerseys and you play Duran Duran covers. Not sure where you go from there, but the concept alone should be enough for some youtube views and dive bar gigs, right? On a side note, here's how we chopped up and copy-pasted the drum section that led into Ariana Grande's needy in Logic Pro X : Some other key-compatible music: break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored - Ariana Grande Say You Will - Kanye West Last Call - Kanye West Bag Lady- Erykah Badu Xxplosive - Dr. Dre Not Afraid - Eminem Two Birds, One Stone - Drake Waterfalls - TLC Impatient - Jeremih ft.

break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored - Ariana Grande

tempo: 85 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm  to  85 bpm ,  85 bpm  to  90 bpm the dj's take: The leadoff song in our Deuces mix: Sounds good with So Fresh So Clean , right? Dial up a couple bpm's, and you've got track #5 in chapter 39 (8:45): Bottom line: a versatile single that should have a lengthy shelf life if you spin pop. Worth a longer-term spot in the rotation.

Waterfalls - TLC

tempo: 86 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm to 85 bpm , 85 bpm to 90 bpm The DJ's Take: Track #4 in chapter 39 (6:10): That transition from Bag Lady with this intro over it is its own little mashup. Soulful. On a side note, here's how old this song is - first time I heard it was on Entertainment Tonight with Mary Hart. Proof positive you can find anything on youtube these days: Some other key-compatible music: Xxplosive - Dr. Dre break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored - Ariana Grande Not Afraid - Eminem Two Birds, One Stone - Drake Impatient - Jeremih ft.

Bag Lady - Erykah Badu

tempo: 85 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm  to  85 bpm ,  85 bpm  to  90 bpm the dj's take: Track #3 in chapter 39 (4:42): A prime example of dropping it on the one. Makes perfect sense here, especially because this song uses the same beat as Xxplosive . Worth a spin for r&b fans around my age (i.e. old millennial / young gen x).

Say You Will - Kanye West

tempo: 86-87 bpm bpm range: 85 bpm  to  90 bpm the dj's take: Track #6 in chapter 39 (10:57): That transition from break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored is its own little mashup. Here's how it looks in Logic Pro X (Say You Will is on the bottom): Did some cut-copy-paste to make sure the instrumental-only part of Say You Will (starts ~3:03 into the song) comes in as Ariana fades out. Technology's a beautiful thing. Some other key-compatible music: Not Afraid - Eminem Two Birds, One Stone - Drake Waterfalls - TLC Impatient - Jeremih ft.

Xxplosive - Dr. Dre ft. Nate Dogg, Hittman, Kurupt & Six-Two

tempo: 84 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm  to  85 bpm the dj's take: Second track in chapter 39 (3:35): The beat is on point, but not a fan of the rapping, so I did some surgery in Logic Pro : As you can see, if you just let the song play through, it would've been one solid bar. Worth a little editing for most mixes; I'm no social justice warrior, but the lyrics are cringey for about 50% of the population.
