Breathe Deeper - Tame Impala



tempo: 105 bpm

The DJ's Take:  Song #8 in 45 and Lex (11:52):



Feels like if Drake ever went psychedelic, this would be the type of beat he'd sing over. Maybe that's why we subconsciously followed this one up with Madiba Riddim. Good soundtrack for a snowboarding session.

Some other key-compatible music:

Between 100 and 105 bpm:

Something Just Like This - The Chainsmokers & Coldplay
Paris - The Chainsmokers
I'm In Control - AlunaGeorge
Perfect (Matoma Remix) - One Direction
Cheyenne - Jason Derulo
Classic - The Knocks
Alejandro - Lady Gaga

And from 105 to 110 bpm:

Solo - Clean Bandit ft. Demi Lovato
Anywhere - Rita Ora
LoveGame - Lady Gaga
Sleeping With A Friend - Neon Trees
Nasty Boy - Notorious BIG
Shots - Imagine Dragons
Last Christmas - Wham!

Starboy - The Weeknd, Daft Punk

tempo: 93 bpm bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #6 in our chapter 53 mix (11:38): As we saw with the I Wonder lead-in, that percussion-only intro makes this easier to mix and to play around with. Also melts nicely into Nine Inch Nails' Closer . In fact, even though I know when the transition's coming, it still creeps up on me a bit. Still worth a spot in your prime-time pop rotation. Some other key-compatible music: Old Thing Back - Matoma & Notorious BIG Back To Sleep - Chris Brown One More Chance (Remix) - Notorious BIG Shoop - Salt N Pepa Out of the Woods - Taylor Swift This Is How We Do - Katy Perry Na Na - Trey Songz Paranoid - Ty Dolla $ign No Games - Serani Download or stream Starboy: spotify playlist amazon
