Ridin' Solo - Jason Derulo

tempo: 90 bpm bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm The DJ’s Take:  Song #4 in  43 degrees  (5:46): I don't care how cool he looks in that video. Ladies: stand back. Those spikes are sharp. Good thing that 10 years later, he  traded them in for fur . Anyway, file this one under the 'guilty pleasure' category. Still a lightweight banger. Also, that transition out of ROXANNE is tight - worth trying at your next gig. Some other key-compatible music: Cold Water - Major Lazer ft. Justin Bieber, MØ 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 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

Break Free - Ariana Grande ft. Zedd

tempo: 130 bpm bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm , 130 to 135 bpm The DJ's Take:  Song #5 in episode  #37  (7:11): Explosive. It's like Zedd channeled Eric Prydz and turned the volume up to 11: Good choice for an event in a big venue. Or a party for a friend who just got out of a bad relationship. Try mixing / mashing up with: Red Lights - Tïesto Five More Hours - Deorro x Chris Brown Lalala - Y2K, bbno$ What Is Love - Haddaway Hey Brother - Avicii Dreamer - Axwell /\ Ingrosso Somebody To Love (Remix) - Justin Bieber ft.

Lose Yourself to Dance - Daft Punk ft. Pharrell

tempo: 100 bpm The DJ's Take:  Song #5 in  version 31  (9:47): Sounds like we set a record for longest beat match in the history of our mix show - I counted 43 seconds before Pump It Up finally faded out. And it held together, thanks to the miracle of technology. Not a bad funk substitute; worth dropping from time to time. Although this is kind of long, so try to move on to the next one before the crowd starts nodding off. Some other key-compatible music: Money In The Grave - Drake ft. Rick Ross One Dance - Drake Me Rehúso - Danny Ocean thank u, next - Ariana Grande Questions - Chris Brown My My My! - Troye Sivan For Free - DJ Khaled ft.

Children - Justin Bieber

tempo: 127 bpm bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm The DJ's Take:  Song #12 in Episode 40 (18:54): A little tricky to beat match perfectly in  Logic Pro X , at least for me - I had to slide it around a couple times and trust my ears. Good enough. Left out the percussion-less sections; you should probably do the same to maintain the energy on a dance floor. Try mixing with: Only Girl In The World - Rihanna Yeah 3X - Chris Brown Meet Me Halfway - Black Eyed Peas Disturbia - Rihanna Moves Like Jagger - Maroon 5 Who's That Chick - David Guetta, Rihanna Wake Me Up - Avicii Don't Start Now - Dua Lipa Breathe - Jax Jones ft.

(Prett

Cheap Thrills - Sia

Speed: 90 bpm bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm The DJ's Take:  Song #2 in  43 degrees  (2:03): If you have a choice, spin the original - not a fan of the Sean Paul version; vocals feel a little out of place. Anyway, I think we put this in a pretty good spot. Smooth transition from the previous track, and a seamless one going into the next. Some other key-compatible music: Cold Water - Major Lazer ft. Justin Bieber, MØ 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.

Deuces - Chris Brown ft. Tyga and Kevin McCall

tempo: 74 bpm bpm range: 70 bpm to 75 bpm The DJ’s Take:  Song #3 in  Episode 41  (2:58): Can't lie; I am a big fan of that hook. Fun to shout out, and it works perfectly fine as a way to say goodbye to your friends or as an exclamation point at the end of a breakup. Also - during the transition out of Drunk In Love, listen to how those repeating notes bounce right in time with Beyoncé's drawn-out 'lo-o-o-ve' at around 3:20. Fits like a hand in glove. Try mixing with: Drunk In Love - Beyoncé ft. Jay-Z Ni**as in Paris - JAY-Z & Kanye West Curve - Gucci Mane ft.
