Beat Match City

Made with Logic Pro at 101 bpm Quiet summer, but I had this in the back of my mind, and finally put something together. Wasn't as smooth a process as some other mixes/mashups ; tried to shoehorn in Kanye's Diamonds from Sierra Leone at the end (the beginning where Shirley Bassey sings 'diamonds are forever' ), but the backing instrumental was off-beat vs. the other songs, so we scrapped it. Wish I knew of a good way to fully isolate vocals from the beat in an individual song. Overall, I probably listened to this one too many times with headphones on. Started hearing how pitches in the different songs were a bit incompatible at times, but at a certain point you just say 'good enough.' Hopefully this is an interesting addition to the waves of Not Like Us mashups out there.

Made with Logic Pro at 68 bpm What started as a transition between songs in mix #55 of the sterling mercury show in September 2020 has finally evolved into something closer to fully-fledged. Always liked how these two sounded together, and finally figured out that Can't Get Enough was the perfect third wheel for what I was trying to build. Maybe one day we'll add even more, but this is about as good as I can do for now. Songs taken from this dj cheat sheet playlist - in case you feel like making your own mix.

Links: Made with Logic Pro X at 71 bpm From episode #55 of the sterling mercury show What's Poppin - Jack Harlow Money Trees - Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock Follow the playlist on djcheatsheet.com

tempo: 72 bpm bpm range: 70 bpm  to  75 bpm the dj's take: Song #2 in our #55 mix (1:55): Is it just me, or does the key feel a little different in headphones when it goes into Kid Cudi's Day 'N' Nite ? Sounds more compatible in speakers. Either way, a solid choice for a slower hiphop set. Like a dark molasses that seeps into your bones.

tempo: 96 bpm Recommended bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm , 95 to 100 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #2 in our pop sampler mix (starts at 1:23): That transition from Sorry is about as tight as it gets - definitely worth integrating into your own pop sets.

Took awhile, but I finally made a mix of 10 pop songs from one of our playlists . Only 15 minutes long, and it illustrates how you can turn the info on this site into something that sounds decent. I used Logic Pro to make this. Good app for creating your own beats or doing a clean, efficient dj mix. Pretty affordable too. Click here to check it out. Want to check out some more mixes? Click here . Here's the tracklist in order: Sorry - Justin Bieber The Greatest - Sia Let Me Love You - DJ Snake & Justin Biebe r Wild Thoughts - DJ Khaled, Rihanna, Bryson Tiller All The Stars - Kendrick Lamar, SZA Fancy - Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX The Fix - Nelly ft. Jeremih You Know You Like It - DJ Snake and AlunaGeorge Worth It - Fifth Harmony Say Something - Justin Timberlake ft. Chris Stapleton

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

tempo: 97 bpm bpm range:   95  to  100 bpm the dj's take: This would sound pretty good with  I Feel It Coming , wouldn't it? And add in Wild Thoughts for good measure. Anyway, it's pretty simple - any pop / hiphop dj should get All The Stars in the rotation a.s.a.p. Long list of other key-compatible tracks to mix / mashup with: Say Something - Justin Timberlake ft. Chris Stapleton Fancy - Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX Bonita - J Balvin, Jowell, Randy Sorry - Justin Bieber Let Me Love You - DJ Snake & Justin Biebe r The Greatest - Sia Water Under The Bridge - Adele You Know You Like It - DJ Snake and AlunaGeorge Try Me - Jason Derulo ft. Jennifer Lopez & Matoma Worth It - Fifth Harmony Honest - The Chainsmokers Sexual Healing - Maxamillion Used To Love You - Gwen Stefani The Fix - Nelly ft. Jeremih Honey - Mariah Carey Where The Party At - Jagged Edge Express Yourself - N.W.A. Ball - T.I. download or stream All The Stars: ...

tempo: 101 bpm bpm range:   100  to  105 bpm the dj's take: Two big artists over a prototypical pop / hiphop beat - easily worth a spin at the club or at a college bar on a Top 40 night. Good track to bump in the car too. Should have a decent shelf life; get it in the rotation a.s.a.p. Solid list of key-compatible hits for a dj to mix with: Turn Down For What - DJ Snake ft. Lil Jon Extra Luv - Future, YG Mi Gente - J Balvin, Willy William, Beyoncé Extra Luv - Future, YG Toothbrush - DNCE BeFoUr - ZAYN Team - Iggy Azalea Nobody Has To Know (Major Lazer & KickRaux Remix) - Kranium ft. Ty Dolla $ign Sledgehammer - Fifth Harmony L.A. Love (La La) - Fergie Misery - Maroon 5 download or stream Pray For Me: amazon spotify playlist itunes

tempo: 63 bpm bpm range:   60 bpm  to  65 bpm the dj's take: If Hollywood re-does Poetic Justice, this should be the background music when the Tupac & Janet Jackson stand-in's get acquainted. Something people can sway to, and just about any pop crowd can recognize the voice. Good list of songs to mix & mash up with: No Complaints - Metro Boomin ft. Drake, Offset Sign of the Times - Harry Styles Weak - AJR The Recipe - Kendrick Lamar Hotline Bling - Drake No Sense - Justin Bieber ft. Travi$ Scott No Type - Rae Sremmurd oui - Jeremih I Should've Cheated - Keyshia Cole Here - Alessia Cara Blasé (feat. Future & Rae Sremmurd) - Ty Dolla $ign download or stream LOVE.: amazon spotify playlist

tempo: 55-56 bpm bpm range:   55 bpm  to  60 bpm the dj's take: Sounds like a busier Nobody - Keith Sweat . Or maybe Not Gon' Cry - Mary J. Blige . In any case, we can do the math: New Kendrick Lamar + Rihanna = Hit. Get it in the playlist a.s.a.p. A couple other key-compatible tracks worth mixing / mashing up with: I Don't Wanna Live Forever - ZAYN, Taylor Swift Never Be Like You - Flume Or you can half-time into: New Rules - Dua Lipa I Love You - Axwell /\ Ingrosso CAN'T STOP THE FEELING! - Justin Timberlake In The Night - The Weeknd Adventure of a Lifetime - Coldplay Rockin' - The Weeknd download or stream the song: apple music itunes

tempo: 95 bpm bpm range:   90  to  95 bpm ,  95  to  100 bpm the dj's take:  Beat feels like a brighter version of 0 to 100. Won't receive the same reaction as HUMBLE. or DNA., but it's got the giddy-up to keep things moving on a hiphop night. Strong list of key-compatible singles to mix with: In the 90 to 95 bpm range: Blame It - Jamie Foxx Can't Deny It - Fabolous ft. Nate Dogg Hypnotize - Notorious BIG Olé - John Newman Heathens - twenty one pilots Youth - Troye Sivan 0 To 100 - Drake Bailando - Enrique Iglesias Partition - Beyoncé Killing Me Softly - Fugees From 95 to 100 bpm: I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me) - Jay-Z Feel No Ways - Drake Company - Justin Bieber Misery - Gwen Stefani Show Me - Kid Ink Animals - Maroon 5 Survival of the Fittest - Mobb Deep You And Your Friends - Wiz Khalifa download or stream the song: amazon spotify playlist (90 to 95 bpm) spotify playlist (95 to 100 bpm) apple music...

tempo: 90 bpm bpm range:   85  to  90 bpm ,  90  to  95 bpm the dj's take: Uneducated guess on my part, but is this video supposed to be a mashup of Twister and Mad Max ? Interesting visuals, considering the subdued vibe of the music. Still, it's a head-nodder, and the all-star cast should generate plenty of buzz. On a side note, considering the title of this song, here's an article on how to pour a perfect pint of Guinness . No idea if the technique works or not. But as someone who could use a little practice with a beer tap, it's probably worth a read (for me at least). Some key-compatible tracks in the 85 to 90 bpm range: Despacito - Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee ft. Justin Bieber Tunnel Vision - Kodak Black Versace On The Floor - Bruno Mars Chainsaw - Nick Jonas Be As You Are (JordanXL Remix) - Mike Posner The Man - Aloe Blacc Royals - Lorde Paper Planes - MIA And from 90 to 95: Waterfall - Stargate, P!nk, Sia LUV - Tory La...

tempo: 70 bpm bpm range:   65 bpm  to  70 bpm ,  70 bpm  to  75 bpm the dj's take: Perfect song for an adDJ - ~100 seconds that will boom through the speakers and rile up the crowd before you move on to the next banger. If you spin hiphop, this one needs to be in the rotation for the foreseeable future. Keep in mind this morphs into a second song at around 1:50 with a bpm of 65 bpm. And in case you were wondering why actor Don Cheadle is in the video: Interesting tracks to mix with at 65 to 70 bpm (scroll down in the box below): goosebumps - Travis Scott Make Love - Gucci Mane ft. Nicki Minaj Big Pimpin - Jay-Z ft. UGK Deja Vu - Post Malone & Justin Bieber In The Name Of Love - Martin Garrix ft. Bebe Rexha Let Me Love You - Ariana Grande Day N Nite - Kid Cudi Jimmy Choo - Fetty Wap Horses In The Stable - Ty Dolla $ign Know Ya - Ty Dolla $ign Gold Bottles - Jeezy Big Rings - Drake & Future From 70 to 75 bpm: Party...

tempo: 75 bpm bpm range:   70 bpm  to  75 bpm ,  75 bpm  to  80 bpm the DJ's Take: A straight smash - club-friendly beat with a notable & distinctive vocalist that will get heads nodding on a hiphop or pop night. On a side note, Kyrie Irving probably thinks the footage of Kendrick riding his bike in the video is ridiculous . And an interesting background piece from this NPR interview : apparently Mike WiLL Made-It intended the beat for Gucci Mane when he got out of jail. Didn't happen, Lamar heard it, and the rest is history. If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing or mashing up with: 2U - David Guetta, Justin Bieber Cry Me a River - Justin Timberlake Believer - Major Lazer, Showtek Everyday - A$AP Rocky ft. Rod Stewart She Knows - NeYo Whatcha Say - Jason Derulo Ridin' - Chamillionaire No Matter What - T.I. Bump up a couple bpm's and this could work with Kanye's Devil In A New Dress . download or stream the song: Spo...
