Beat Match City

tempo: 100 bpm the dj's take: Song #1 in session 52 : My two favorite parts of this song: the percussion and the bassline. Deceptively funky. Also, don't forget that the slowed down sample is the backdrop for one of the great rap verses of 90s: If you do integrate this into a mix, I like the idea of using that break starting ~2:04 into the song as a natural exit point. Overlapping this with Mariah Carey's Dreamlover sounded even better than I expected - that could be the beginning of an interesting mashup/instrumental.

tempo: 99 bpm the dj's take: Song #3 in session 52 (4:35): I'm not normally one to listen to lyrics, but sometimes they tell you when it's time to make a transition in a mix. In this case, hearing Lil Mosey say 'big' made me think of Fatman Scoop yelling 'Bass Drop!' near the beginning of Be Faithful . So together, they say 'big bass drop' (via genius.com): Entertained the idea of overlapping the two, but the heavy drums from Be Faithful kind of drowned out Lil Mosey, so we opted for the drop instead. Worth a try in your next pop/hiphop set. Some other key-compatible music: Happier - Marshmello, Bastille Lonely Together - Avicii ft.
