Beat Match City

Made with Logic Pro at 125 bpm Another project with origins in an old mix . We added in a couple extra songs from the original loop, and to make the transitions a little less abrupt, I put in some sound effects ("Boomerang Downer" and "Airfield" as software instruments in Logic Pro, in case you were wondering). Individual software instruments can get drowned out by finished audio tracks side-by-side, but things worked out in this one.

Made with Logic Pro at 118 bpm Flowers - Miley Cyrus Out of Touch - Hall & Oates Sexyback - Justin Timberlake, Timbaland Señorita - Camila Cabello, Shawn Mendes Circles - Post Malone Fun little medley on top of a popular song; feels like going to a clothing store and trying on different pairs of pants. My favorites: Señorita and Out of Touch, with a slight edge to Señorita. I actually started this by stacking several songs on top of each other in Logic Pro, then muting/soloing certain tracks to decide what to use. More efficient than what I've been doing recently - may stick with it for the foreseeable future. Key- and bpm-compatible playlist: 115 to 120 bpm

tempo: 73 bpm the dj's take: Song #3 in episode 58 (5:49): As I dug up the video for this post, youtube suggested this in the sidebar: Skip the sleeping pills; half a listen will put you down for the count. In fact, if Monster ever made a sedative-laced anti-energy drink, I would pitch this as the theme music for an ad campaign. That said, it still works as a harmonic follow-up to Drake's Fake Love . And we slotted in Ariana Grande's positions right afterward, so all's well that ends well. Some other key-compatible tracks from 70 to 75 bpm: Blocks - Marshmello Locked Out Of Heaven - Bruno Mars All I Do Is Win - DJ Khaled Handsome And Wealthy - Migos Holy Grail - Jay-Z ft.

tempo: 117 bpm bpm range: 115 to 120 bpm the dj's take: Song #4 in mix 36 (6:37): No doubt this'll be a go-to at ballroom dance competitions for years to come.

tempo: 122 bpm bpm range:   120  to  125 bpm the dj's take: Nothing like a little Shawn Mendes to get the younger female demographic going, and this one's especially danceable. Break it out for prom, or a pop night at a college watering hole. If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing or mashing up with: You Don't Know Me - Jax Jones, Raye Space Race - Sterling Mercury FREE.K - Pitbull Wake Me Up - Avicii download or stream the song: amazon apple music

Speed: 83 bpm Recommended bpm range: 80 bpm to 85 bpm The DJ's Take: Serious question - would anyone besides high school girls get down to this song? Because as a young Gen-X'er, I'm probably as out of touch as an 80 year old British aristocrat who uses a flip phone. That said, I have seen twenty-something females in a dive bar sing along to Justin Bieber's Love Yourself on a jukebox, so it's possible, right? Anyway, a very popular single right now, so probably worth a shot on a Top 40 night in a casual setting. If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing with:

Speed: 75 bpm Recommended bpm range: 70 bpm to 75 bpm , 75 bpm to 80 bpm The DJ's Take: So I held off on covering this because I figured, 'Only tween females like it, right?' But my perspective changed after recently hearing some twenty-somethings singing along when Love Yourself came on the jukebox at the local dive bar. Because if they dig that, they probably dig this. If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing or making a mashup with tracks like Guts Over Fear - Eminem ft. Sia , Best Mistake - Ariana Grande , New Flame - Chris Brown , and/or All Of The Lights - Kanye West . Download or stream the song: Apple Music iTunes Amazon

Speed: 114 bpm Recommended bpm range: 110 to 115 bpm , 115 to 120 bpm The DJ's Take: Without doing any research, I'm gonna guess there are about 13,267 Youtube covers of this song recorded by aspiring teenage pop artists. Very Radio-Disneyish, so you probably want to save this for a younger crowd. Try mixing or mashing up with key-compatible tracks like: Safe and Sound - Capital Cities Bad Romance - Lady Gaga Don't You Want Me - The Human League SexyBack - Justin Timberlake Adore - Jasmine Thompson Download or stream the song: Apple Music iTunes Amazon
