Beat Match City

tempo: 63 bpm bpm range:   60 bpm  to  65 bpm the dj's take: I don't care if the title says 'no damage' - those Contra play-through videos on youtube still get the blood pumping: Nice. As for the track, has a southwestern vibe to it with the hazy guitars. Would be good background music for a road trip through a lonely stretch of Texas. Could sound interesting if you mix / mash up with  No Love - Eminem ft. Lil Wayne . download or stream Contra: amazon itunes

tempo: 70 bpm bpm range:   65 bpm  to  70 bpm ,  70 bpm  to  75 bpm the dj's take: The beat is dark & mysterious & cool and all, but where's the sample from those old Bud commercials: One of the better ad campaigns of the past 25 years. Very disappointing. Some other key-compatible tracks to mix with: Psycho - Post Malone ft. Ty Dolla $ign Back To You - Louis Tomlinson ft. Bebe Rexha 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 All The Above - Maino ft.

tempo: 75 bpm bpm range:   70 bpm  to  75 bpm ,  75 bpm  to  80 bpm the dj's take: If they ever do a modern reboot of Ferris Bueller's Day Off , wouldn't be a shock if this is the theme song. Plus, the beat is pretty much what you'd expect from Marshmello, which the youth will appreciate. Should get a good reaction on a pop or trap night. Try mixing with: Love Lies - Khalid, Normani I Get The Bag - Gucci Mane ft. Migos Sky Walker - Miguel ft. Travis Scott T-Shirt - Migos Bake Sale - Wiz Khalifa ft.

tempo: 70 bpm bpm range:   65 bpm  to  70 bpm ,  70 bpm  to  75 bpm the dj's take: So I was wondering about the source of the 'Turn it up!' vocal sample that starts at ~ 1:40 in this track (and in Kanye's Waves ). And after doing a little googling, looks like it comes from Fantastic Freaks At The Dixie off the Wild Style soundtrack . So there's a little tidbit if you were curious. Anyway, this is prime background music for a montage of pickup basketball highlights. Should also keep the crowd hype on a hiphop night. Try mixing with: Gyalchester - Drake Bad Things - Machine Gun Kelly, Camila Cabello Ain't My Fault - Zara Larsson Sorry - Beyoncé Sledgehammer - Rihanna Pop Style - Drake waves - Miguel ft.

Reminds me of You Owe Me , only more soulful. Getting a good reception on the streaming services, so why not give it a go on a hiphop night. Try mixing with the following: Heatstroke - Calvin Harris ft. Young Thug, Pharrell, Ariana Grande Want to Want Me - Jason Derulo Hands To Myself - Selena Gomez Cool For The Summer - Demi Lovato Fun - Pitbull ft.

Bebe Rexha The Hills - The Weeknd download or stream the song: amazon spotify playlist apple music

tempo: 84 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm to 85 bpm the dj's take: This has to be a record for most artists featured on a pop track, right? If not, we're probably not too far off. Getting plenty of love on iTunes, and it's the closest we may ever get to a crossover posse cut . Try mixing or making a mashup with some or all of the following: Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - WHAM! Big Poppa - Notorious BIG Just A Friend - Biz Markie M.I.L.F. $ - Fergie Hold Up - Beyoncé Better - Meghan Trainor Ride of Your Life - Tinashe 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.

Speed: 80 bpm Recommended bpm range:  75 bpm to 80 bpm , 80 bpm to 85 bpm The DJ's Take: When he's saying 'oh god, oh my god,' it makes me think of the Tribe Called Quest track that had me breaking my neck back in college. Beats drives hard like a steady rain, flow feels like a throwback (in a good way), and the early returns on iTunes and on the web are promising. Try mixing with key-compatible tracks like:
