Too Close - Next

tempo: 99-100 bpm The DJ's Take: Track #7 in mix #62 (12:54): If you're going down in history as a one-hit wonder, this would be a good one to go out on. Got a lot of play on the local hiphop radio station when I was in high school. The lyrics make me think of that infamous photo of Pitbull getting a little 'too close' to J. Lo during a concert. Too relatable. On the more technical side, the lengthy vocal-free intro makes it easy to mix in for a set or a mashup. Some key-compatible music from 100 to 105 bpm: Levitating - Dua Lipa ft. DaBaby I.F.L.Y. - Bazzi Something Just Like This - The Chainsmokers & Coldplay Paris - The Chainsmokers Kids - OneRepublic I'm In Control - AlunaGeorge Perfect (Matoma Remix) - One Direction Cheyenne - Jason Derulo Classic - The Knocks Midnight City - M83 Cake - Flo Rida & 99 Percent LoveGame - Lady Gaga Breathe Deeper - Tame Impala Madiba Riddim - Drake Sleeping With A Friend - Neon Trees Na

Levitating - Dua Lipa ft. DaBaby

tempo: 103 bpm The DJ's Take: Leadoff track in mix #62 : Song title reminds me of one of Dhalsim's victory celebrations in Street Fighter II: Not many (if any) instrumental-only sections, so it makes sense to blend with another single where the vocalist takes a break or two and gives you some runway. Here's how the transition into Lady Gaga's Alejandro looked in Logic Pro X : Some key-compatible music from 100 to 105 bpm: I.F.L.Y. - Bazzi Something Just Like This - The Chainsmokers & Coldplay Paris - The Chainsmokers Kids - OneRepublic I'm In Control - AlunaGeorge Perfect (Matoma Remix) - One Direction Cheyenne - Jason Derulo Classic - The Knocks Midnight City - M83 Cake - Flo Rida & 99 Percent LoveGame - Lady Gaga Breathe Deeper - Tame Impala Madiba Riddim - Drake Sleeping With A Friend - Neon Trees Nasty Boy - Notorious BIG download or stream Levitating: DJ Cheat Sheet playlist amazon
