The Box - Roddy Ricch



tempo: 59 bpm

The DJ's Take: Song #1 in 7squared:



Glad I don't listen to the radio anymore, because this has probably been as overplayed as any single in history. Still, if you're bringing out the heavy artillery for a pop set, this one needs to be in the rotation. Violins add a dramatic flair to the proceedings.

Some other key-compatible tracks:

Ghosts N Stuff - deadmau5
Dark Horse - Katy Perry ft. Juicy J
Believer - Imagine Dragons
Bad and Boujee - Migos ft. Lil Uzi Vert
My Way - Fetty Wap ft. Monty
DEVASTATED - Joey Bada$$
U Got It Bad - Usher
Burn - Usher

DJ mix/mashup: no can do because of you (ft. Hall & Oates and Ne-Yo)

Made with Logic Pro at 113 bpm A quick clip from the last mix , and one of my favorite transitions in it. Kind of alluring, mysterious; maybe we can make a more fully realized remix/mashup someday. If you're wondering what the image is in the background at the start of the video, those are quahogs and a channeled whelk I dug out of the sand in low tide on a recent beach trip. Pretty solid haul, and good eating for sure. Although I probably should've kept them separate - apparently whelks like to eat the clams .

dj mix/mashup: 6 man [drake] x devil in a new dress [kanye west, rick ross]

Made with Logic Pro at 82 bpm Clip from mix #69 - two big beats on top of each other, which I could've done a better job adjusting for a cleaner sound. But if you listen to the actual mix, the transition sounds smooth; my goal for this video was to create a loop that feels like the first draft of a mashup/remix. Worth building on for a future project. Key- and bpm-compatible playlist
