Cold Water - Major Lazer ft. Justin Bieber & MØ

tempo: 93 bpm bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm The DJ's Take:  Leadoff song in  43 degrees : Sometimes you ease your way into a mix, and sometimes you start off with a bang. I chose the latter option; no regrets. No idea whether this still gets a crowd hyped, but the vibe is right for just about any festive setting. More key- and bpm-compatible music: You Owe Me - The Chainsmokers Eastside - benny blanco, Halsey, Khalid EL BAÑO - Enrique Iglesias ft. Bad Bunny You're All I Need To Get By - Method Man & Mary J. Blige Baby Baby Baby - TLC I Like Me Better - Lauv A Lie - French Montana, The Weeknd, Max B Cheap Thrills - Sia Never Give Up - Sia Ridin Solo - Jason Derulo Airplanes - B.o.B Flashing Lights - Kanye West Replay - IYAZ Take On Me (Kygo Remix) - a-ha Renée - Lost Boyz Stand By You - Rachel Platten Should've Been Us - Tori Kelly You Be Killin Em - Fabolous Magic - Coldplay Stereo Hearts - Gym Class Heroes Download or stream Cold Wa

Daydreamin' - Lupe Fiasco ft. Jill Scott

tempo: 81 bpm range: 80 bpm to 85 bpm The DJ's Take:  Song #4 in  chapter 42  (8:47): Probably not a hit in 2020. A little too elegant. But if you're in a certain mood, and it's raining outside, this should hit you just right. Try mixing with: No Other Love - John Legend ft. Estelle Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day Hello - Adele Best I Ever Had - Drake Comin Out Strong - Future ft. The Weeknd Love & War - Yellow Claw Don't Mind - Kent Jones Happy - Pharrell I Can Transform Ya - Chris Brown Download or stream Daydreamin': spotify playlist Apple Music iTunes Amazon

ROXANNE - Arizona Zervas

tempo: 87-88 the dj's take: Song #3 in our 43 degrees mix (3:59): When we look back at tracks with Roxanne in the title, can this one stand the test of time alongside  UTFO and The Police ? Call me crazy, but I think it has a chance. More importantly, those transitions in and out are like butter -  Logic Pro X  is a beautiful thing (and an excellent value, might I add). Some other key-compatible music: Eastside - benny blanco Flashing Lights - Kanye West Never Give Up - Sia A Lie - French Montana, The Weeknd, Max B You Owe Me - The Chainsmokers EL BAÑO - Enrique Iglesias ft. Bad Bunny No Diggity - Blackstreet Cheap Thrills - Sia Ridin' Solo - Jason Derulo Take On Me (Kygo Remix) - a-ha Should've Been Us - Tori Kelly Stereo Hearts - Gym Class Heroes Crying In The Club - Camila Cabello Throw It In The Bag - Fabolous download or stream ROXANNE: amazon spotify playlist

No Other Love - John Legend ft. Estelle

tempo: 82 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm to 85 bpm The DJ’s Take:  Song #3 in  chapter 42  (5:51): Forget Dancing Queen - if I'm a dj on a cruise ship to the Caribbean, this is a candidate for last song of the night. Not a hit, but it's something you can groove to with a loved one. Good enough for me.
