6 Man - Drake

tempo: 79 bpm

the dj’s take: Song #5 in episode #69 of our mix show (7:42):



A rare case where a song pops up two separate times in a mix. First, we did a little a surgery and cut out 1:45-1:48 in 6 Man (a little stretch of percussion-less distorted synth), copied/pasted 3 times, and used that for the transition out of the percussion-less section in Heat Waves. Then I took 1:48-2:00 in 6 Man, which includes a vocal-free loop with percussion as the transition into Missy Elliott's The Rain. Here's how it looked in Logic Pro X - look for the red arrow, and you'll see this all starts ~7:42 into the mix:

Then we utilized that same 1:48-2:00 loop for the transition out of The Rain before getting into the full version of 6 Man:

Could've been simpler, but it sounded good in the end.

If you're in the 75 to 80 bpm range, you can also mix with:

Say Something - Timbaland, Drake [80 bpm]
Throw Some D's - Rich Boy [80 bpm]
Rich MF - Trippie Redd, Polo G, Lil Durk [78 bpm]
Don't Go - Skrillex, Justin Bieber, Don Toliver [75 bpm]
Up and Down - Doja Cat [75 bpm]

The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly) - Missy Elliott [80 bpm]
6 Man - Drake [79 bpm]
In For The Kill - La Roux
Talk About Love - Zara Larsson, Young Thug
