Beat Match City

tempo: 70 bpm, 140 bpm bpm range: 65 bpm  to  70 bpm ,  70 bpm  to  75 bpm , 135 to 140 bpm , 140  to  145 bpm The DJ's Take: One of the first singles that made people take Bieber a little more seriously. Apparently this was originally a 'piano ballad' (via wikipedia ): Good on Skrillex & Diplo for making it thump. Should still get a crowd going, especially in a bigger, louder venue. Try mixing with: From 65 to 69 bpm: Top Off - DJ Khaled, JAY Z, Future, Beyoncé Bartier Cardi - Cardi B ft. 21 Savage Modern Slavery - Huncho Jack, Travis Scott, Quavo Love Galore - SZA ft. Travis Scott White Iverson - Post Malone goosebumps - Travis Scott Make Love - Gucci Mane ft. Nicki Minaj Big Pimpin - Jay-Z ft. UGK Deja Vu - Post Malone & Justin Bieber In The Name Of Love - Martin Garrix ft. Bebe Rexha Let Me Love You - Ariana Grande Day N Nite - Kid Cudi Jimmy Choo - Fetty Wap Horses In The Stable - Ty Dolla $ign Know Ya -...

tempo: 146 bpm bpm range: 70 bpm to 75 bpm , 145 to 150 bpm The DJ's Take: Former #1 song in the country for a good reason. If you're looking to hype a crowd up, tough to do much better than this. Pretty good marching band music too: Try mixing / mashing up with: Relationship - Young Thug ft. Future DNA. - Kendrick Lamar Party - Chris Brown ft. Usher, Gucci Mane Big Pimpin - Jay-Z ft. UGK Black Beatles - Rae Sremmurd Let Me Love You - Ariana Grande Day N Nite - Kid Cudi Where Are Ü Now - Skrillex & Diplo ft. Justin Bieber Feeling Myself - Nicki Minaj X - Chris Brown Moses - French Montana download or stream Can't Hold Us: amazon spotify playlist itunes

tempo: 135 bpm bpm range: 130 to 135 bpm , 135 to 140 bpm the DJ’s take: I used to play this a lot when it came out. Basically pop edm on speed, with a modern icon singing about something we've all thought about. A former #1 on the Billboard charts, and worth a spin as a throwback track. If you're in the 130 to 135 bpm range, try mixing with: Wildest Dreams (R3hab Remix) - Taylor Swift This Is What It Feels Like - Armin Van Buuren Turn Up The Music - Chris Brown Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO And from 135 to 140 bpm: Malibu - Miley Cyrus Or you can double-time over: Drunk In Love - Beyoncé Confessions Part II - Usher Ignition (Remix) - R. Kelly Elevated - Wiz Khalifa I Remember - AlunaGeorge Call Casting - Migos Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae) - Silento Ni**as In Paris - Jay-Z, Kanye download or stream the song: amazon spotify playlist (65 to 70 bpm) itunes

tempo: 138 bpm bpm range:   135  to  140 bpm ,  65 bpm  to  70 bpm the DJ’s take: As a 4 year old rocking Osh Kosh BGosh overalls and a bowl cut , this was the most-played song off my Thriller tape cassette. Add in the Eddie Van Halen guitar solo, and you have one of the sweetest pop-rock collabos ever. Most importantly: the video teaches the youth that when you have a beef with someone, it can be resolved through interpretive dance. Try mixing or mashing up with key-compatible tracks like: What If - Kevin Gates T-Shirt - Migos Real Chill - Rae Sremmurd ft. Kodak Black ??? (Where) - Ty Dolla $ign 1st Day Out Da Feds - Gucci Mane Bake Sale - Wiz Khalifa ft. Travis Scott Kiss Kiss - Chris Brown ft. T-Pain TKO - Justin Timberlake Jump Out The Window - Big Sean download or stream the song: amazon spotify playlist itunes

tempo: 144 bpm bpm range: 70 bpm to 75 bpm , 140 bpm to 145 bpm t he DJ’s take:   Solid choice for a wedding reception, a school dance, or a bar mitzvah: the vocalist is telling you how to do it, and the language is appropriate for all ages. Had never heard of this until a request at a gig awhile back; it became a semi-regular part of the rotation soon after. Try mixing or mashing up with: We Did It - AREA21 Another Life - Afrojack, David Guetta Both - Gucci Mane ft. Drake Pick Up The Phone - Young Thug, Travis Scott At Night - MNEK GDFR - Flo Rida Inside Out - The Chainsmokers Private Show - TI ft. Chris Brown Rap God - Eminem Applause - Lady Gaga Up Out My Face - Mariah Carey download or stream the song: spotify playlist itunes amazon

tempo: 140 bpm bpm range:   135  to  140 bpm ,  140  to  145 bpm ,  65 bpm  to  70 bpm ,  70 bpm  to  75 bpm the dj's take: So I guess this is the new beach anthem for the summer? Feels like something you could spin at a bonfire. Or maybe it's the next theme for Malibu coconut rum . Given the buzz, won't be long before young females are singing along whenever you drop it. Mix / mash this up with  Drunk In Love - Beyoncé  and it's a wrap. Kind of like Vince Carter over Fred Weis: Some other key-compatible songs to mix with in the 70 to 75 bpm range: Grammys - Drake, Future Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae) - Silento Ni**as In Paris - Jay-Z, Kanye Deuces - Chris Brown iSay - Wiz Khalifa ft. Juicy J Light Years - Yellow Claw And some more in the 65 to 70 range: Confessions Part II - Usher Ignition (Remix) - R. Kelly Elevated - Wiz Khalifa I Remember - AlunaGeorge Call Casting - Migos download...

Speed: 137 bpm Recommended bpm range: 135 to 140 bpm The DJ's Take: Doesn't this remind you of a faster, bouncier version of Losing My Religion ? Maybe that's just the Gen X/Y'er in me. Anyway, if you're a lady, I'd mash this up with Closer - Tegan and Sara and blast it in the car during your next girls-only road trip as the wind blows through your hair. If you're mixing with pop, try double-timing over tracks like Remember Me - Chris Brown , 7/11 - Beyoncé , Tuesday - I LOVE MAKONNEN , Motivation - Kelly Rowland ,  Young Forever - Jay-Z , and  Love In This Club (feat. Young Jeezy) - Usher . Download the song: iTunes: Amazon: Lost And Found

Speed: 140 bpm The DJ's Take: Catchy hook, distinctive voice, and a swaying rock beat with a little edge - feels like a potential hit. I could picture this playing in a jeans commercial or a promo for a provocative TV show featuring recently divorced 40 year old cougars. If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing with tracks like the following: Where Are Ü Now - Skrillex & Diplo ft. Justin Bieber , Feeling Myself - Nicki Minaj , Lips Are Movin - Meghan Trainor ,  X - Chris Brown ,  Can't Hold Us - Macklemore and Ryan Lewis ,  Day N Nite - Kid Cudi , Big Pimpin - Jay-Z , Feel This Moment - Pitbull Download the song: Amazon: Ex's & Oh's

tempo: 137 bpm bpm range:   135  to  140 bpm the DJ’s take:  Probably not going on his Greatest Hits collection, but danceable nonetheless. Best way I can describe it is like a cross between Mission Impossible and strobe light photography with the punctuated beat. Different sound from what he’s done before, which is a good thing. Worth a spin from time to time when the mood is right. Try mixing with: Drifting - G-Eazy ft. Chris Brown, Tory Lanez Elastic Heart - Sia Pop That - French Montana Pour It Up - Rihanna download or stream the song: amazon itunes

Speed: 139 bpm The DJ's Take:  Looks like Meghan Trainor's got a monopoly on Hairspray-inspired doo woo pop. Is the follow-up to All About That Bass a hit? Maybe, although it's not quite as fun to sing the hook. Worth a flyer though, while people can still recognize her voice. If you're staying key-compatible, try double-timing over tracks like X - Chris Brown ,  Can't Hold Us - Macklemore and Ryan Lewis ,  Day N Nite - Kid Cudi  and  Big Pimpin - Jay-Z . Or if you're trying to transition down into the 130 to 135 bpm range, try blending with Feel This Moment - Pitbull . Download the song: Amazon: Lips Are Movin

Speed: 138 bpm The DJ's Take: Somehow I feel like this is a better fit for a ladies' jeans commercial (or an ad for a vacation destination) than a club. But by virtue of the artists involved, it's worth a download if you're a Top 40 dj. Here's a key-compatible mix/mashup recommendation from left field - Endorphins by Sub Focus . And if you feel like halving the speed, try blending into Iz U Down , No Option , Pop That , and/or Pour It Up . What do you think of Can't Remember To Forget You?

Speed: 140 bpm The DJ's Take: It's been awhile since we last heard from her, and I'm not sure what to think. Sounds like she's channeling David Bowie at the beginning before we get into the frenetically electric hook. Could be big in Europe and among her hardcore fans, but doesn't really do much for me. Will be interesting to see how it does going forward. Try double-timing with Rap God , I Need A Doctor , and Forgot About Dre . If you want to keep things fast while staying key-compatible (and your crowd doesn't mind something corny), try mixing with Cupid Shuffle . What do you think of Applause?

Speed: 140 bpm The DJ's Take: Recently, I've been trying to make this blog a little cooler by posting some songs that aren't straight college bar fodder. This qualifies, right? I hear Endorphins is big in the UK, and it should work for an EDM crowd. Backup plan - if people look at you with blank stares, try transitioning into some electro-remix of Radioactive . Download the song: Amazon:

Speed: 136 bpm The DJ's Take: All I can say is how dare they bastardize one of the catchiest songs of my childhood . That said, while I'm trying to hate on this, it's kind of hard. Not as fun as his last single , but not bad either. A little fast, but try mixing with I Cry , Scream & Shout , or Day N Nite . Download the song: Amazon:
