Beat Match City

Made with Logic Pro at 121 bpm Took me awhile; I probably went through about 15 different songs off this DJ Cheat Sheet playlist , and settled on something simple. Percussion throughout is from the opening to Disclosure's Watch Your Step . The Rihanna vocals come from the very end of Disturbia where the drums peel off, then we threw in a little sample from the beginning of Jax Jones' You Don't Know Me to break up the monotony. Second half felt better - the beginning of Ed Sheeran's Bad Habits before the drums drop in was a nice loop, and then we threw in the beginning guitar riff from Swedish House Mafia's Don't You Worry Child to thicken it up a bit. On a side note, I thought the opening part of Tame Impala's The Moment over the aforementioned Rihanna vocal from Disturbia could've been interesting, but I couldn't find a spot to fit it in for this session. Maybe some other time.

tempo: 126 bpm bpm range:   125  to  130 bpm the dj's take: Good choice for an upscale club or a choreographed routine. Sounds a lot like  You Don't Know Me , so there's a solid mix / mashup option.

tempo: 121 bpm bpm range:   120  to  125 bpm the dj's take: A little Latin / tropical flair that should get people moving earlier on in a pop night or during a more eclectic dance set. Plus, it's Demi Lovato, so you figure there's some built-in goodwill from the younger female demographic. Worth a spot in your warm weather playlist.
