tempo: 110 bpm
the dj's take: Song #4 in our edition 57 mix (7:21):
Wish this song would make up its mind - you get sections with no percussion, then some light percussion, then more pounding percussion, then back to no percussion. I like sustained momentum.
As a result, it took a little more thought on how to transition in and out. Overlap of notes out of I'll Be Missing You was kind of interesting, but not my favorite. Transition into Blondie's Rapture was more fun; I made it a point to put those introductory drums over the percussion-less vocals to make a mini-remix/mashup.
