Beat Match City

Made with Logic Pro at 132 bpm Title of this mix doesn't make much sense, but we managed to fit in the names of all 3 songs somehow. I'd been wanting to lay that percussion-less intro to Ed Sheeran's Bad Habits over something, and it was nice to finally get around to it. A simple yet effective blend overall; I like how this came out. Songs come from this playlist and this one .

Made with Logic Pro at 124 bpm Clip from mix #72 - this was the beginning of the end. Half-timing from the bouncy dance track that Pitbull jacked for Hotel Room Service into the slower hiphop and r&b portion of the program. Something kind of surreal about hearing that distorted 'you... you... you...' over the dying embers of a familiar instrumental, like we're circling the drain. Sounds about right. Key- and bpm-compatible playlist

Bills Bills Bills - Destiny's Child (16:54)

tempo: 88 bpm the dj's take: Song #1 in mix #67 : I don't really listen to lyrics, but that songwriting is top shelf. A must-spin for any ladies' night set. As you can tell, I'm more of a 'let the song play out a bit,' so for me, the best time to transition out is ~2:30 when she's singing 'to the left, to the left.' We slipped the vocal-free intro to 7am On Bridle Path over the little break and that worked out pretty well. Here's how it looked in Logic Pro X : Try mixing with: Started From The Bottom - Drake Love the Way You Lie - Eminem ft.

tempo: 80 bpm bpm range: 75 bpm  to  80 bpm ,  80 bpm  to  85 bpm the dj's take:  Song #4 in detour 44  (8:32): The beat sounds like Black Beatles on molly. A solid party track designed to make a crowd go apeshit. Do not blast this in the car though, unless you feel like getting a speeding ticket. Most importantly, easy to mix; nice minimal intro, and then gets right down to business. Slow down a couple bpm's and this could sound cool with I'm Upset - Drake . Some other key-compatible tracks from 80 to 85 bpm: Truth Hurts - Lizzo Nobody Speak - DJ Shadow ft. Run the Jewels Through the Wire - Kanye West I'm Upset - Drake Paranoid - Post Malone End Game - Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Future Get It Right - Diplo, MØ Dance (A$$) Remix - Big Sean ft.

tempo: 70 bpm bpm range: 65 bpm to 70 bpm , 70 bpm to 75 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #2 in Episode 41 (2:17): Got in and got out pretty quickly, but it's a quality cut. Super deep bass, so keep that in mind when you're deciding what to mix with - blasting this on top of another heavy track may distort the sound and pop the speakers. A virtual lock to get the females singing along on a pop or hiphop night. Some other key-compatible music: Ni**as in Paris - JAY-Z & Kanye West Deuces - Chris Brown Curve - Gucci Mane ft.

tempo: 85 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm  to  85 bpm ,  85 bpm  to  90 bpm the dj's take: Track #4 in Volume 35: Back to School (8:56): That transition from Clique is about as close as I can come to taking you to church, outside of lugging an organ into your house and busting out a Bach fugue. Or asking for a donation to fund my private jet . Full compliments to Just Blaze and Hit-Boy.

Two of the great chick tracks in modern party history - I'm willing to bet that plenty of females up to the age of 40 will know the words. If you're spinning a set with music from ~2000, these are pretty handy to have. Download links: Made with Logic Pro X at 72 bpm Toxic - Britney Spears Say My Name - Destiny's Child

tempo: 103 bpm bpm range: 100  to  105 bpm the dj's take: The leadoff song in our exexseven mix: That bass starting around 1:43 makes me think of an old 2Pac track: Funky. Anyway, whether you prefer the cover or the original, it's new Beyoncé, so this should probably go in the rotation. Try mixing with: Wow. - Post Malone Hold On, We're Going Home - Drake Galway Girl - Ed Sheeran Alive - Sia Talk Dirty - Jason Derulo Middle - DJ Snake Picture Me Rollin' - Chris Brown Most Girls - Hailee Steinfeld Ghost - Ella Henderson 2 On - Tinashe You - Lost Kings ft.

tempo: 65 bpm bpm range:   60 bpm  to  65 bpm ,  65 bpm  to  70 bpm the dj's take: The beat reminds me of a slower, toned-down version of Bone Crusher's Never Scared . Nothing too unique here, but the names are obviously buzzworthy enough for a crowd to recognize it. Should work just fine in a hiphop set at the club or in a lively college bar. Some key-compatible songs to mix / mash up with: Bartier Cardi - Cardi B ft. 21 Savage Modern Slavery - Huncho Jack, Travis Scott, Quavo Love Galore - SZA ft. Travis Scott DNA. - Kendrick Lamar Where Are Ü Now - Skrillex & Diplo ft. Justin Bieber  White Iverson - Post Malone goosebumps - Travis Scott Feeling Myself - Nicki Minaj ft.

Bebe Rexha Let Me Love You - Ariana Grande Day N Nite - Kid Cudi Jimmy Choo - Fetty Wap Horses ...

tempo: 83 bpm bpm range:   80 bpm  to  85 bpm the dj's take:  Probably won't pop with the youth on a Top 40 or hiphop night. But it's elegant, dignified, and something the grown folk can nod their heads to. I could see turntablists having some fun with this too. Worth a spot in the car or around-the-house playlist. Some tracks to mix with in the 80 to 85 bpm range: Tell Me You Love Me - Demi Lovato Plain Jane - A$AP Ferg Dirty Sexy Money - David Guetta The Way Life Goes - Lil Uzi Vert Black Widow - Iggy Azalea ft. Rita Ora Reaper - Sia Walk It Out - DJ Unk And from 86 to 88 bpm: Rude Boy - Rihanna Izzo (H.O.V.A.) - Jay-Z Empire State of Mind - Jay-Z ft. Alicia Keys Famous - Kanye West Back to Back - Drake Energy - Drake The Black The Berry - Kendrick Lamar Remember Me - T.I. ft. Mary J. Blige download or stream Family Feud: amazon itunes

tempo: 84 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm to 85 bpm The DJ's Take: Probably not going on her greatest hits album. But it definitely sounds like this was written for college marching bands (skip to 5:47 below): And if you're wondering where the male vocals for the countdown came from: Try mixing or mashing up with tracks like: Clique - Kanye West, Jay-Z, Big Sean Criminal - Natti Natasha x Ozuna Black and Yellow - Wiz Khalifa Learn To Let Go - Kesha So Good - Zara Larsson ft. Ty Dolla $ign On My Mind - Ellie Goulding Bounce - 2 Chainz download or stream Countdown: amazon itunes

tempo: 105 bpm bpm range:   100  to  105 bpm ,  105  to  110 bpm the dj's take: That beat is the definition of an earworm. Huge hit, and maybe an even bigger remix with Beyoncé. Forget about a crossover - this one went full A.I. on everyone: Try mixing or mashing up with these key-compatible tracks: Extra Luv - Future, YG Toothbrush - DNCE Don't Need Nobody - Ellie Goulding BeFoUr - ZAYN Team - Iggy Azalea Nobody Has To Know (Major Lazer & KickRaux Remix) - Kranium ft. Ty Dolla $ign Player - Tinashe This Summer's Gonna Hurt... - Maroon 5 Sledgehammer - Fifth Harmony L.A. Love (La La) - Fergie Turn Down For What - DJ Snake and Lil Jon Doing It - Charli XCX ft. Rita Ora Misery - Maroon 5 Trouble - Iggy Azalea ft. Jennifer Hudson Bump up a couple bpm's and this might sound interesting with Midnight Sky - Miley Cyrus . download or stream Mi Gente: amazon amazon (remix) spotify playlist itunes

tempo: 93 bpm bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm The DJ's Take: History will show that President Donald Trump had a plan to build a wall between America and Mexico. Quite an undertaking though. Maybe even more challenging than expected . So here's my idea - instead of a wall, let's re-brand it as a 'partition.' Buy a bunch of these things online and line them up across the border: Looks great, everyone knows which country they're about to enter, and if you can get a bulk discount, Mexico just might change their mind about paying for it. Problem solved. And yes, I am a dummy. As for the track, a minor hit that should fit in nicely in a pop or hiphop set. Plus, that bass is deep and heavy enough to smother a room on the right pair of speakers. Worth a longer-term spot in a party rotation. Key-compatible tracks in the 90 to 95 bpm range: ELEMENT. - Kendrick Lamar Company - Justin Bieber Blame It - Jamie Foxx Can't Deny It - Fabolous ft. Na...

tempo: 68 bpm bpm range: 65 bpm  to  70 bpm The DJ's Take: Kind of strange to hear all that auto-tune on one of the biggest voices in the industry. But let's be real - this was intended as a club banger, and it generally hit the spot. My only question: where's the product placement for maybe the biggest convenience store chain in the US ? Missed opportunity there. If you're looking for key-compatible songs from 65 to 70 bpm, try mixing or mashing up with: Tuesday - I LOVE MAKONNEN Young Forever - Jay-Z Love In This Club (feat. Young Jeezy) - Usher We Belong Together - Mariah Carey What's Your Fantasy - Ludacris Remember Me - Chris Brown ft. Tyga And from 71 to 73: Motivation - Kelly Rowland Ain't No Time - Future Alarm - Anne-Marie Break Up - Mario download or stream 7/11: amazon spotify playlist itunes
