Beat Match City

speed: 71 bpm the dj’s take:  Song #1 in episode 70 : Not exactly a banger, but we're trying to ride the mythical algorithm into some listens, you know? Although eventually the bass provides a little ghost percussion effect that builds up into the rest of the mix. I'd probably save this for the very beginning or end of a set. Then there's nowhere to go but up in terms of energy, or you're shutting it all down. Based on my research, 2:25 is a good time to move into the next song - Adele starts getting fancy with the word 'easy,' and you bring in an instrumental intro for whatever's coming up. Positions was a decent choice here because the first few notes are just plucked strings with no drums, so the transition feels like a natural continuation. Some other key-compatible tracks from 70 to 75 bpm: Fake Love - Drake Blocks - Marshmello Locked Out Of Heaven - Bruno Mars All I Do Is Win - DJ Khaled Handsome And Wealthy - Migos Holy Grail - J...

tempo: 79 bpm bpm range:   75 bpm  to  80 bpm the dj's take: Leadoff song in chapter 42 : Confession: this mix was made after a glass or two of Balvenie 12 year (which is the cover photo). So I was in a mellow mood. Melts pretty nicely into Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams , which makes it a proper launching point for the final episode of the decade.

tempo: 82 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm to 85 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #5 in Episode 14 (13:03): The hook sounds like DJ Screw chopped and screwed a professional yodeling album: Not really recommended during prime time in a Top 40 set; better employed as background music in a more low-key setting, unless you can do a little editing / re-mixing.

Speed: 95 bpm Recommended bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm , 95 to 100 bpm The DJ's Take: How did this not become a hit? Guess everyone was so obsessed with Hello that it slipped under the radar. Anyway, I think if things break right, Water Under The Bridge could get a second shot at pop success at some point. In the meantime, worth a spin in a more laid back setting where you don't necessarily have to keep the dance floor packed. If you're in the 90 to 95 bpm range, try mixing with key-compatible tracks like:

Speed: 79 bpm The DJ's Take: So there's buzz around Adele and Drake doing a Hotline Bling remix. And I've seen people mashing up Hello and Hotline Bling (which boggles my mind). If there's one Drake beat you should be laying these vocals over, it should be Best I Ever Had . Similar bpm, key and vibe, so everything sounds natural. And if you feel like getting unconventional, try mashing up with Jay-Z's Dirt Off Your Shoulder . Download the song: iTunes Amazon
