Within the mix: Whatcha Say x Fashion Killa

A challenge to all dj's & music manipulators: make a mix, mashup or remix including Fashion Killa by A$AP Rocky and Whatcha Say by Jason Derulo Relevant links: Logic Pro X Download Whatcha Say: iTunes Amazon Download Fashion Killa: iTunes Amazon Episode 29 of the sterling mercury show Spotify playlist Contact info: Twitter Email

Blem - Drake

tempo: 98 bpm bpm range:   95  to  100 bpm the DJ's take: Song #8 in chapter 52 (16:14): Trickier beat to integrate than I thought; pattern threw me off a bit. But a nice little reset out of Be Faithful , and that transition into Don't Tell Em could be its own remix or mashup. Tropical vibes provide a proper ingredient to a summer mix. Some other key-compatible music from 100 to 103 bpm: Me & The Rhythm - Selena Gomez Blem - Drake Blueberry Faygo - Lil Mosey Dreamlover - Mariah Carey It's Great to Be Here - Jackson 5 Happier - Marshmello, Bastille Lonely Together - Avicii ft. Rita Ora Me & The Rhythm - Selena Gomez Crazy In Love - Beyoncé ft. Jay-Z Doo Wop (That Thing) - Lauryn Hill I Think Of You - Jeremih, Chris Brown, Big Sean Kiss The Sky - The Knocks Levels - Nick Jonas Pretty Girls - Britney Spears ft. Iggy Azalea From 95 to 100 bpm: Tek Weh Yuh Heart - Sean Paul Blank Space - Taylor Swift Back That Azz Up - Juvenile D

Father Figure - George Michael

tempo: 102 bpm the dj's take: Song #11 in #48 (24:03): Always liked hearing this song on the radio as a kid in the late 80s / early 90s. I was also a fan of P.M. Dawn's Looking Through Patient Eyes - and the fact that it samples Father Figure without really altering the key or bpm made for a seamless transition (with a little work in Logic Pro X ). Probably my favorite ending to any of the mixes I've made so far. Some other key-compatible music: Yeah! - Usher Truffle Butter - Nicki Minaj, Drake & Lil Wayne In Your Eyes - The Weeknd I Love It - Kanye West & Lil Pump ft. Adele Givens Don't Matter To Me - Drake, Michael Jackson Havana - Camila Cabello Don't Quit - DJ Khaled, Calvin Harris, Travis Scott, Jeremih Nothin' On You - B.o.B ft. Bruno Mars Obsession - Vice ft. Jon Bellion No More Sad Songs - Little Mix ft. Machine Gun Kelly Buried In Detroit (Lucas Löwe Remix) - Mike Posner ft. Big Sean I Took A Pill In Ibiza (Seeb

Lonely Together - Avicii ft. Rita Ora

tempo: 103 bpm bpm range: 100  to  105 bpm the dj's take: Song #8 in chapter 52 (16:14): How similar do the drops for Lonely Together & Happier sound? If you're a music conspiracy theorist, that should raise an eyebrow. Anyway, this is one of those transitions that fools you for a second before you realize it's even happening. A definite benefit of putting some time in and finding an interesting element. As for the song itself, I don't think it rocks a dancefloor, but should keep things moving in an electro-oriented set. Some other key-compatible tracks: Be Faithful - Fatman Scoop ft. Faith Evans Me & The Rhythm - Selena Gomez Blem - Drake Blueberry Faygo - Lil Mosey Dreamlover - Mariah Carey It's Great to Be Here - Jackson 5 Happier - Marshmello, Bastille Me & The Rhythm - Selena Gomez Crazy In Love - Beyoncé ft.
