Beat Match City

tempo: 103 bpm bpm range:   100  to  105 bpm the dj's take:  Feels like this should be the theme song for a travel show geared toward teenagers. Heavy percussion, and rich piano & synths make this a good choice for a concert or festival set. Pretty sure Lorde fans won't be disappointed. And in case you were wondering where the lyrics came from, Genius has the inside scoop from the artist herself . Interesting look at the story behind the song. Key-compatible tracks to mix or mash up with between 100 and 105 bpm: Party On The West Coast - Matoma Turn Me On - Kevin Lyttle Are You Sure? - Kriss Kross Amsterdam ILY2 - Charli XCX Slide - Calvin Harris, Frank Ocean, Migos Touch - Little Mix Mo Money, Mo Problems - Notorious BIG STARVING - Hailee Steinfeld & Grey ft. Zedd Roses - The Chainsmokers We Don't Talk Anymore - Charlie Puth & Selena Gomez Hip Hop Hooray - Naughty By Nature Touch - Nick Jonas Going Back To Cali - Notorious BI...

tempo: 125 bpm bpm range:   120  to  125 bpm ,  125  to  130 bpm the dj's take: As a fashion-forward guy who goes to  SuperCuts , I endorse this as the next theme song for a  tv ad campaign . Interesting track - when the percussion gets going, it's like a runaway train. Quiet spots prevent this from becoming a pop set staple, but worth a spin in a lower-energy environment where dancing isn't a requirement. Key-compatible tracks from 120 to 125 bpm: Hype - Dizzee Rascal & Calvin Harris This Is What You Came For - Calvin Harris ft. Rihanna Shades of Grey - Oliver Heldens & Shaun Frank ft. Delaney Jane Prayer In C - Lilly Wood & The Prick and Robin Schulz And from 125 to 130 bpm: I'm In Miami Bitch - LMFAO Right Round - Flo Rida Boom Boom Pow! - Black Eyed Peas Intoxicated - Martin Solveig & GTA Higher Place - Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike ft. NeYo Lay Me Down - Avicii Can't Feel My Face (Martin Garrix Remi...

tempo: 129 bpm bpm range:   125  to  130 bpm the DJ's take: Sounds more like a Broadway show tune than a pop song. Probably will be something her fans find uplifting and inspirational, but if I'm a dj, my first thought is this is a prime candidate for an EDM remix. Good list of notable tracks to mix with; scroll down in the box below: My Boo - Ghost Town DJs No Money - Galantis Hey - Fais ft. Afrojack Sweet Harmony - Dubvision DADDY - PSY Another You - Armin Van Buuren ft. Mr. Probz Cool - Alesso , Get Outta My Way - Kylie Minogue Waiting For Love - Avicii La La La - Naughty Boy ft.

Speed: 92 bpm Recommended bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm The DJ's Take: Feels like some late 80s / early 90s mid tempo pop R&B or hiphop with a little far east flavor. Worth a flyer for the new music folder, especially since Lorde's on it. Try mixing or mashing up with tracks like Locked Away - R. City ft. Adam Levine , Post To Be - Omarion ft. Chris Brown and Jhené Aiko , and F**kin' Problems - A$AP Rocky . Download the song: iTunes: Magnets (feat. Lorde) - Disclosure Amazon: Magnets [feat. Lorde]

Speed: 100 bpm The DJ's Take: So I was holding off on covering Team because it felt like there was this ennui in the beat that only a hipster could love. But when a track is knocking on the door of Billboard's Top 10, it's probably time to give in. Plus, the percussion has some hiphop flavor in there. If you want to get a little unconventional while staying key-compatible, try mixing with Loyal - Chris Brown and U Know What's Up - Donell Jones . Download the song: Amazon:

tempo: 85 bpm bpm range:   80 bpm  to  85 bpm ,  85 bpm  to  90 bpm the dj's take:  The hook and the finger-snaps make this one of the bigger hits in recent pop history. Should get a good reaction in a lot different settings, with a solid possibility of people singing along. Try mixing with: Despacito - Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee Tunnel Vision - Kodak Black Versace On The Floor - Bruno Mars Chainsaw - Nick Jonas Be As You Are (JordanXL Remix) - Mike Posner Send My Love - Adele The Man - Aloe Blacc Paper Planes - MIA download or stream the song: spotify playlist apple music itunes
