Beat Match City

tempo: 105 bpm bpm range: 100  to  105 bpm ,  105  to  110 bpm the dj's take: Rich Love sounds like some dating app for affluent guys on the prowl for young Instagram models . Or maybe the other way around. Anyway, this one has a nice electro-bounce that should be easy to dance to for a pop crowd. Worth an occasional spin for variety. Long list of key-compatible tracks to mix / mash up with from 100 to 105 bpm: Perfect Places - Lorde 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 BIG Love More - Chris Brown Ain't It Fun - Paramore Run It! (feat. Juelz Sant...

Speed: 100 bpm Recommended bpm range:   95  to  100 bpm ,  100 to 105 bpm The DJ's Take: Sounds like a more refined form of 80s synth pop. Would add an invigorating couple of minutes to a roadtrip playlist, or a Top 40 set, considering the group and the solid initial reception it's getting on iTunes & Spotify. If you're around 102-103 bpm, try mixing with key-compatible tracks like:

S peed: 120 bpm The DJ's Take:  Even when this song falls off the charts, it'll be a staple of inspirational video and audio montages for years to come. Worth a download for a Top 40 night if you spin at your local pub. Try mixing with tracks like Get Lucky - Daft Punk , Poison - Bel Biv Devoe , Billie Jean - Michael Jackson , Straight Up - Sean Paul , and Move Ya Body - Nina Sky . Download the song: Amazon:  I Lived - OneRepublic

Speed: 120 bpm The DJ's Take: I think it's safe to say this is the follow-up hit to Counting Stars - and a track that could be all over TV before long. A smart investment for your Top 40 playlist. Try mixing with songs like She Doesn't Mind , DJ Got Us Falling In Love , and Teenage Dream to stay key-compatible. If you're looking to make a key-compatible transition into EDM, bump this up a few bpm's and mix with some or all of the following: Red Lights - Tiesto , Helicopter - Martin Garrix & Firebeatz , Samurai (Go Hard) - R3hab , Love Me Again - John Newman , Wizard - Martin Garrix & Jay Hardway , Revolution - R3hab & Nervo & Ummet Ozcan , Scream & Shout - will.i.am and Britney Spears , Sexy and I Know It - LMFAO , Count On Me - Chase & Status , Scream - Usher , Hey Brother - Avicii Download the song: Amazon: Love Runs Out

Speed: 122 bpm The DJ's Take: Took me long enough to cover this, I know. My issue was whether or not it was danceable enough. But when a song becomes such a big hit, I guess that answers the question. On a normal night, Counting Stars may work in a pub setting. The real value may come when you're spinning a holiday or New Year's party, when there's maybe a broader demographic. Try using this as a key-compatible bridge between some safer 115 to 120 bpm tracks: Black or White - Michael Jackson , Just Dance - Lady Gaga , Dynamite - Taio Cruz , Billie Jean - Michael Jackson and some popular 125 to 130 bpm dance tracks: Summertime Sadness - Lana Del Rey (Cedric Gervais remix) , Levels - Avicii , Die Young - Ke$ha and maybe even C'Mon Download the song: Amazon:

Speed: 95 bpm The DJ's Take: Looking for a track to play at an outdoor eco-friendly fundraiser filled with earthy, crunchy granola types? This is it. Personally, I think it's the whistling-tweeting sound that makes you feel like you're listening to birds outside in the warm sunshine. Probably not something you want to be playing at the height of the night if you're doing top 40, but the fact that it's becoming a mainstay in the top 10 means you can give it a place early on in the night or on your playlist at a relaxed gathering.
