DJ mix/mashup: You Know You Like Roses (DJ Snake, Saint JHn, DMX, Eminem)

Made with Logic Pro at 105 bpm

If I keep doing these, hopefully they all come together as quickly and easily as this one. Started off with the vocal-only intro for DJ Snake and AlunaGeorge over a little section of Roses with minimal vocals, and made that the central theme. Then I took a couple parts from the intro to Intro by DMX. Fun fact: found this one on youtube when an article (or the algorithm) brought me to the walkout for a post-prison Mike Tyson fight. Tell me those bells aren't the ultimate death knell:

And then we switched up the mood a bit with The Real Slim Shady and its dark, bouncy looniness. Probably the biggest hit of the four pieces we used, and good background sound for a mental institution or a Halloween party.

Amazon downloads below, and don't forget the key- and bpm-compatible DJ Cheat Sheet playlist if you want to make your own version. Plus - a full mix stretched out to 19 minutes featuring this music and more.

Roses - Saint Jhn

Intro - DMX

The Real Slim Shady - Eminem

Throwback Thursday: Billie Jean - Michael Jackson

Tempo: 117 bpm Bpm range: 115 to 120 bpm The DJ’s Take: An iconic pop track that any dj should have in their rotation. No excuses. A good list of key-compatible songs to mix or mash up with, including: Solo Dance - Martin Jensen Routine - Alan Walker x David Whistle Safe And Sound - Justice D.A.N.C.E. - Justice Say My Name - ODESZA ft. Zyra This Town (Tiesto Remix) - Niall Horan Welcome - Martin Garrix & Julian Jordan Get Lucky - Daft Punk If you're willing to drop a couple bpm's, blending this with Poison - Bell Biv Devoe is pure gold. Download or stream the song: Apple Music iTunes Amazon

Starboy - The Weeknd, Daft Punk

tempo: 93 bpm bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #6 in our chapter 53 mix (11:38): As we saw with the I Wonder lead-in, that percussion-only intro makes this easier to mix and to play around with. Also melts nicely into Nine Inch Nails' Closer . In fact, even though I know when the transition's coming, it still creeps up on me a bit. Still worth a spot in your prime-time pop rotation. Some other key-compatible music: Old Thing Back - Matoma & Notorious BIG Back To Sleep - Chris Brown One More Chance (Remix) - Notorious BIG Shoop - Salt N Pepa Out of the Woods - Taylor Swift This Is How We Do - Katy Perry Na Na - Trey Songz Paranoid - Ty Dolla $ign No Games - Serani Download or stream Starboy: spotify playlist amazon

Famous - Kanye West

Speed: 87 bpm bpm range: 85 bpm to 90 bpm The DJ's Take: The leadoff song in our tenthirtynine mix: Good illustration of the saying 'less is more.' Simple, minimal beat with a heavier version of the drums from Good Morning and then a nice little breakdown into the Sister Nancy sample . A proper thump for almost any weekend gig. Try mixing with tracks like: Call Out My Name - The Weeknd Plain Jane - A$AP Ferg Feel Me Flow - Naughty By Nature No Limit - G-Eazy ft. A$AP Rocky, Cardi B Rude Boy - Rihanna Izzo (H.O.V.A.) - Jay-Z Empire State of Mind - Jay-Z ft. Alicia Keys Back to Back - Drake Izzo (H.O.V.A.) - Jay-Z Energy - Drake The Black The Berry - Kendrick Lamar Just A Dream - Nelly Remember Me - T.I. ft. Mary J.
