tempo: 75 bpm bpm range:   70 bpm  to  75 bpm ,  75 bpm  to  80 bpm the dj's take: Batting leadoff in episode LIV : One of those songs that I know is not meant for people my age. But if you spin pop music, pretty hard to avoid. Probably would've enjoyed it as a middle schooler, just like Watermelon Airheads and Super Nintendo. That transition into Man Down is like butter. Similar island vibes are very evident. Strong list of key-compatible tracks between 70 and 75 bpm: All Night - The Vamps & Matoma Broccoli - D.R.A.M. ft. Lil Yachty Low Life - Future + The Weeknd RGF Island - Fetty Wap Blood On the Money - Future Trophies - Drake Give Me A Try - Sizzla Bottoms Up - Trey Songz BedRock - Young Money Got Your Back - T.I. ft.

tempo: 90 bpm bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm The DJ’s Take:  Song #4 in  43 degrees  (5:46): I don't care how cool he looks in that video. Ladies: stand back. Those spikes are sharp. Good thing that 10 years later, he  traded them in for fur . Anyway, file this one under the 'guilty pleasure' category. Still a lightweight banger. Also, that transition out of ROXANNE is tight - worth trying at your next gig. Some other key-compatible music: Cold Water - Major Lazer ft. Justin Bieber, MØ You Owe Me - The Chainsmokers Eastside - benny blanco, Halsey, Khalid EL BAÑO - Enrique Iglesias ft. Bad Bunny You're All I Need To Get By - Method Man & Mary J.

tempo: 72 bpm bpm range: 70 bpm  to  75 bpm the DJ’s take: Penultimate song in episode 29 (22:29): Nice transition out of Can't Take It From Me , even if the notes don't totally match up melodically. Big hit when it came out, although the heavy auto-tune and exaggerated instrumental may seem a little dated. Worth a spin as a throwback. Try mixing or mashing up with: Sensualidad - Bad Bunny X Prince Royce X J Balvin Still Tippin' - Swishahouse ft. Mike Jones, Slim Thug & Paul Wall 2U - David Guetta & Justin Bieber I Fall Apart - Post Malone Cry Me a River - Justin Timberlake Believer - Major Lazer, Showtek Everyday - A$AP Rocky ft.

tempo: 100 bpm bpm range: 100 to 105 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #5 in Pop Sampler 2.0 (9:10): Probably not something a dj would drop in prime-time on its own. But it goes well with some other reasonably recent hits, so that can extend the vibe a couple extra minutes. Maybe start out with this and build up to something bigger. Key-compatible tracks from 95 to 100 bpm: Sexual Healing - Marvin Gaye Taste - Tyga ft. Offset The Greatest - Sia All The Stars - Kendrick Lamar, SZA Say Something - Justin Timberlake ft. Chris Stapleton Fancy - Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX Water Under The Bridge - Adele Bonita - J Balvin, Jowell, Randy Let Me Love You - DJ Snake & Justin Bieber Sorry - Justin Bieber Try Me - Jason Derulo ft.

tempo: 122 bpm bpm range: 120 to 125 bpm The DJ's Take: This was a big hit on this site early on. Kind of random, but I can see why. Notable vocalist and a dancefloor-friendly beat that should work in just about any setting with people of all ages. Shoutout to Harry Belafonte and Robin S . Try mixing with: Now You See It - Honorebel ft. Pitbull & Jumpsmokers Nocturnal - Disclosure ft. The Weeknd Book of Love - Felix Jaehn New Romantics - Taylor Swift I Really Like You - Carly Rae Jepsen Let Me Love You - NeYo California Gurls - Katy Perry Could be a nice follow-up after the key change in Sisqo's Thong Song too. download or stream Don't Wanna Go Home: amazon spotify playlist itunes

tempo: 114 bpm bpm range:   110  to  115 bpm The DJ's Take: Add back in I and You, and we've basically got the same title as that Cheap Trick song, right? Anyway, Want to Want Me is a sentimental favorite for me. Easy to dance to, and should work at a wedding or on a pop night at the local bar. If you're between 110 and 115 bpm, try mixing with: In My Head - Jason Derulo Because Of You - Ne-Yo Heat Stroke - Calvin Harris Hands To Myself - Selena Gomez Cool For The Summer - Demi Lovato Fun - Pitbull ft. Chris Brown The Hills - The Weeknd And from 115 to 120: Anywhere - Dillon Francis Treasure - Bruno Mars download or stream Want To Want Me: amazon spotify playlist iTunes

tempo: 82 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm  to  85 bpm The DJ's Take: Forget the synthesized trumpets - we could all use a little more of the real thing: Still, this was a decent hit for Derulo , and for a pop crowd, it could qualify as some light-hearted nostalgia. Good list of key-compatible songs to mix with: 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 Dance (A$$) Remix - Big Sean ft. Nicki Minaj download or stream Trumpets: amazon spotify playlist

tempo: 112 bpm bpm range: 110 to 115 bpm the dj's take: Is he supposed to be a vampire? Or maybe an undertaker? Anyway, feels like a faster, peppier, and more exotic version of Cheyenne . His new singles don't pop like they used to, but you can fit this pretty seamlessly into the earlier part of a Top 40 set as a catalyst. Should sound good with Charlie Puth & Kehlani's Done For Me . Or drop a couple bpm's and try mixing / mashing up with: Sleeping With A Friend - Neon Trees Nasty Boy - Notorious BIG download or stream If I'm Lucky: amazon itunes

tempo: 110 bpm bpm range: 105 to 110 bpm , 110 to 115 bpm the DJ’s take: A little rock, a little dance - good recipe for a crossover hit. And it clearly worked . I used to spin this when it came out, and the vibe was always positive. Should be a solid throwback in a pop set. Try mixing with: Because Of You - Ne-Yo Heat Stroke - Calvin Harris Want to Want Me - Jason Derulo Hands To Myself - Selena Gomez Cool For The Summer - Demi Lovato Fun - Pitbull ft. Chris Brown Treasure - Bruno Mars The Hills - The Weeknd download or stream In My Head: spotify playlist iTunes amazon

tempo: 98 bpm bpm range:   95  to  100 bpm the dj's take: Too bad ODB has passed on, otherwise he could've made a cameo on this one . Big names and a bit of a tropical bounce - certainly worth a trial spin or two on a pop night. Solid roster of key- and tempo-compatible hits to mix with, including: In the 95 to 100 bpm range: Touchin, Lovin - Trey Songz Thrift Shop - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Focus - Ariana Grande Me & U - Cassie In the 100 to 105 bpm range: Chantaje - Shakira ft. Maluma Problem - Ariana Grande ft. Iggy Azalea download or stream the song: Apple Music iTunes
