Beat Match City

Made with Logic Pro at 72 bpm This one came together a little quicker than usual. Can't go wrong with that heavy intro to Ginuwine's Pony; wanted to add a couple softer, percussion-free instrumentals on top, Lemonade and 7 rings came to mind, and away we went. Decent little party mix/mashup, if I do say so myself - or at least the beginning of one. The ingredients (and hopefully some inspiration for your next creation): DJ Cheat Sheet playlist . Lemonade - Internet Money, Don Toliver, Gunna, NAV Pony - Ginuwine 7 rings - Ariana Grande Mercy - Kanye West, Big Sean, Pusha T, 2 Chainz Jumpman - Drake, Future Throw Sum Mo - Rae Sremmurd, Nicki Minaj

tempo: 70 bpm bpm range: 70 bpm  to  75 bpm the dj's take: Song #3 in our chapter 56 mix (4:00): Can't lie - that shade of green in the underwater scenes from the video gave me a flashback to the first time I got stoned in the early 2000s. Was lying in my bed, feeling like I was at the bottom of the ocean, staring up at the sky (i.e. the ceiling). Five minutes felt like an hour. Called a more experienced friend on my Nokia cell phone, asking if this was normal. They assured me everything would be ok. Had to call in sick to a gig in downtown Boston that night, because my ability to beatmatch by ear was compromised. No regrets. As for the song itself, I like it quite a bit. May do a video on my decision to mix this into Ginuwine's Pony . More interesting than you might think - stay tuned. Some other key-compatible music: Tha Crossroads - Bone Thugs-n-Harmony Throw Sum Mo - Rae Sremmurd Close to Me - Ellie Goulding, Diplo, Swae Lee 7 rings - Ariana...

tempo: 80 bpm bpm range:   75 bpm  to  80 bpm ,  80 bpm  to  85 bpm the DJ's take: Has a simple, sing-songy quality that the youth should enjoy. Maybe he'll enlist Future for the remix. Good selection of key- and tempo-compatible tracks to mix or mash up with, including: In the 75 to 80 bpm range: I Need A Doctor - Dr. Dre ft. Eminem Welcome to Jamrock - Damian Marley See You Again - Wiz Khalifa Stick Talk - Future Knock You Down - Keri Hilson ft. NeYo and Kanye West In the 80 to 85 bpm range: Reminder - The Weeknd Bounce - 2 Chainz ft. Lil Wayne Gotta Lotta - 2 Chainz ft. Lil Wayne The Heart Wants What It Wants - Selena Gomez Party - Beyoncé Come & Get It - Selena Gomez Started From The Bottom - Drake download or stream the song: Spotify playlist (75 to 80 bpm) Spotify playlist (80 to 85 bpm) Apple Music iTunes

tempo: 78 bpm bpm range:   75 bpm  to  80 bpm the DJ's take: Sounds a lot more like The Weeknd ft. NAV, right? Regardless of who gets top billing, the main voice is unmistakable, and it should get a solid reception on a pop / hiphop night. Try mixing with: So Good - Zara Larsson ft. Ty Dolla $ign On My Mind - Ellie Goulding Black and Yellow - Wiz Khalifa Bounce - 2 Chainz download or stream the song: Apple Music iTunes
