dj mix/mashup: Levels N 2 Deep (Avicii, Drake, SZA, Shawn Mendes)

Made with Logic Pro at 125 bpm Another project with origins in an old mix . We added in a couple extra songs from the original loop, and to make the transitions a little less abrupt, I put in some sound effects ("Boomerang Downer" and "Airfield" as software instruments in Logic Pro, in case you were wondering). Individual software instruments can get drowned out by finished audio tracks side-by-side, but things worked out in this one.

dj mix/mashup: be without your mask off (Mary J. Blige, Future, Drake)

Made with Logic Pro at 69 bpm So I've been sitting on this since early December; an example of a mix I wasn't really happy with, but sank enough hours into, and thought there was still something interesting there. Sound feels a bit thin, not enough bass (loops I chose either didn't have enough or had so much that I adjusted the EQ to tone it down), and the drums are a bit much - or not enough - depending on the headphones you're using. On a side note: none of these songs really fit into any of the playlists on djcheatsheet.com melodically, and I didn't want to make a separate 3 song list, so these will be floating on their own island for now. In the meantime, hope you like this better than I do, or you find something compelling you can develop on your own. Featured songs: Be Without You - Mary J. Blige Mask Off - Future Hotline Bling - Drake

mini-mashup: unholy x n 2 deep (Sam Smith, Drake, Kim Petras, Future)

Made with Logic Pro at 66 bpm Songs used: Unholy - Sam Smith, Kim Petras N 2 Deep - Drake, Future First I wanted to mix this with M.I.A.'s Bad Girls , but that's been done. Then I thought of Ginuwine's Pony , but apparently that's been done too. So we settled on a specific loop in N 2 Deep that worked well enough with the key of Unholy (which has a good instrumental-only section at the end, starting around 2:19). Obviously not a finished product, but you repeat a few times, and it's the start of something, right? Maybe we'll build this out a little more in the future.

DJ mix/mashup: Throw Sum Mo Mercy (ft. Ginuwine and Kanye West)

Made with Logic Pro at 72 bpm This one came together a little quicker than usual. Can't go wrong with that heavy intro to Ginuwine's Pony; wanted to add a couple softer, percussion-free instrumentals on top, Lemonade and 7 rings came to mind, and away we went. Decent little party mix/mashup, if I do say so myself - or at least the beginning of one. The ingredients (and hopefully some inspiration for your next creation): DJ Cheat Sheet playlist . Lemonade - Internet Money, Don Toliver, Gunna, NAV Pony - Ginuwine 7 rings - Ariana Grande Mercy - Kanye West, Big Sean, Pusha T, 2 Chainz Jumpman - Drake, Future Throw Sum Mo - Rae Sremmurd, Nicki Minaj

Blood On The Money - Future

tempo: 73 bpm bpm range: 70 bpm  to  75 bpm the dj's take: The leadoff song on 32XL : First of three tracks with pretty similar sounding beats - played the first few minutes in the car for a friend and they had a hard time figuring out where the transitions were. Good ingredients for a mashup or seamless mix. Some other key-compatible music: Sunshine - Charlie Heat & Ant Beale Trophies - Young Money ft. Drake Give Me  A Try - Sizzla OMG - Camila Cabello ft.

minimashup: RGF Island x Low Life

Been awhile, but trying to get the youtube channel going again. Did some research, and I think these two tracks should be ok to post. Take a listen and hopefully you'll get some inspiration for a mix or mashup. I think they sound pretty good together. Download links: RGF Island - Fetty Wap Low Life - Future ft.

Top Off - DJ Khaled, JAY Z, Future, Beyoncé

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.

King's Dead - Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Future, James Blake

tempo: 82 bpm bpm range:   80 bpm  to  85 bpm the dj's take: Two big names on a head-nodding beat - sounds like a no-brainer if you spin hiphop. Keep in mind that ~2:10 in, it gets slower and trippier, so transition out before then to keep the flow going. Some other key-compatible tracks: ...Ready For It? - Taylor Swift Bad Blood - Taylor Swift ft. Kendrick Lamar Shake It Off - Taylor Swift I'm The One - DJ Khaled, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Chance The Rapper, Quavo Love On The Brain (Remix) - Rihanna, Don Diablo Nothing Wrong - G-Eazy Just Like Fire - Pink Wicked - Future I Need A Girl - Trey Songz Go Hard Or Go Home - Wiz Khalifa download or stream King's Dead: amazon spotify playlist itunes

End Game - Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Future

tempo: 79-80 bpm bpm range:   75 bpm  to  80 bpm ,  80 bpm  to  85 bpm the dj's take: Seems like an unusual spot for a feature from Future. Then again, he did do this: Hard to say no to a paycheck, especially for an entertainer. Try mixing / mashing up with: Get It Right - Diplo, MØ Dance (A$$) Remix - Big Sean ft. Nicki Minaj The Story of OJ - Jay-Z Thunder - Imagine Dragons Big Poppa - Notorious BIG Just A Friend - Biz Markie M.I.L.F. $ - Fergie Hold Up - Beyoncé Stressed Out - twenty one pilots Trumpets - Jason Derulo Wiggle - Jason Derulo Pills N Potions - Nicki Minaj Down On Me - Jeremih ft. 50 Cent download or stream End Game: amazon spotify playlist

Patek Water - Future, Young Thug, Offset

tempo: 77 bpm bpm range: 75 bpm  to  80 bpm the dj's take: Had to google Patek, and my jaw dropped: Here's my question: why not just get a knockoff? Most people can't tell the difference. And if you get robbed, no big deal. Then again, considering I had to google Patek, I'm probably the wrong guy to ask about fashion. Try mixing / mashing up with key-compatible tracks like: I Just Can't - R3HAB, Quintino Headlines - Drake Heavy - Linkin Park ft. Kiiara Side To Side - Ariana Grande ft. Nicki Minaj A-YO - Lady Gaga Down in the DM - Yo Gotti LA Confidential - Tory Lanez Blast Ya - Borgore ft. Barrington Levy Collard Greens - SchoolBoy Q ft. Kendrick Lamar No Sleep - Wiz Khalifa Halo - Beyoncé download or stream Patek Water: amazon spotify playlist  itunes

High End - Chris Brown ft. Future, Young Thug

tempo: 77 bpm bpm range: 75 bpm  to  80 bpm the dj's take: I think this is the second Halloween-themed music video from Chris Brown, right? After Wall To Wall: Anyway, we all know Thriller is the gold standard, but always nice to get a reminder it's that time of year again. Solid club track for a pop or hiphop night. Try mixing / mashing up with: rockstar - Post Malone, 21 Savage We Did It - AREA21 Knock You Down - Keri Hilson, Kanye West, NeYo I Need A Doctor - Dr. Dre ft. Eminem Welcome to Jamrock - Damian Marley See You Again - Wiz Khalifa Stick Talk - Future Myself - NAV Reminder - The Weeknd Bounce - 2 Chainz ft. Lil Wayne Come & Get It - Selena Gomez download or stream High End: amazon spotify playlist itunes

Relationship - Young Thug ft. Future

tempo: 73 bpm bpm range: 70 bpm to 75 bpm the dj's take: Remember when Girls Gone Wild was wild? Calvin Broadus does: Oh the good old days, when you called a girl on your Nokia phone and asked if she wanted to VHS and Chill. A fun retro video, and the percussion should keep things moving on a pop or hiphop night. If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing / mashing up with: DNA. - Kendrick Lamar Party - Chris Brown ft.
