DJ mix/mashup: Watch Your Bad Habits (ft. Rihanna, Ed Sheeran, Disclosure, and more)




Made with Logic Pro at 121 bpm

Took me awhile; I probably went through about 15 different songs off this DJ Cheat Sheet playlist, and settled on something simple. Percussion throughout is from the opening to Disclosure's Watch Your Step. The Rihanna vocals come from the very end of Disturbia where the drums peel off, then we threw in a little sample from the beginning of Jax Jones' You Don't Know Me to break up the monotony.

Second half felt better - the beginning of Ed Sheeran's Bad Habits before the drums drop in was a nice loop, and then we threw in the beginning guitar riff from Swedish House Mafia's Don't You Worry Child to thicken it up a bit. On a side note, I thought the opening part of Tame Impala's The Moment over the aforementioned Rihanna vocal from Disturbia could've been interesting, but I couldn't find a spot to fit it in for this session. Maybe some other time.

dj mix/mashup: 6 man [drake] x devil in a new dress [kanye west, rick ross]

Made with Logic Pro at 82 bpm Clip from mix #69 - two big beats on top of each other, which I could've done a better job adjusting for a cleaner sound. But if you listen to the actual mix, the transition sounds smooth; my goal for this video was to create a loop that feels like the first draft of a mashup/remix. Worth building on for a future project. Key- and bpm-compatible playlist

dj mix/mashup: gold [kiiara] x genie in a bottle [christina aguilera]

Made with Logic Pro at 87 bpm Not exactly how the transition went in mix #77 ; had to edit the Genie in a Bottle intro a little to cut out Christina Aguilera's vocals and make it more loop-able. A nice pairing - Gold has vocals and minimal percussion, and fits nicely over the Genie in a Bottle instrumental. Another good candidate for a full-on mashup or remix for someone who wants to dig in a little more. Key- and bpm-compatible playlist
