dj mix/mashup: a midnight city classic (Shalamar, Tame Impala, M83, The Knocks)

Made with Logic Pro at 101 bpm Solid four song mix, and we even managed to squeeze in a bridge via Breathe Deeper . I'm so used to thinking I'm almost done with one of these, then hearing something I don't like on the 28th listen, and going back to the drawing board. This came together faster than expected for once. All praise to the mashup gods 🙏 Here's the playlist we drew from

Classic - The Knocks ft. Powers

tempo: 102-103 bpm The DJ's Take: Track #3 in mix #62 (3:51): I imagine that this song is what someone from Japan thinks California sounds and feels like. A thick, full-bodied groove - good chance it'll be louder than other songs in your mix, so the volume may need to come down. Decreased it to -1.2 dB in Logic Pro X : Most importantly (for me): a very healthy vocal-free break at the beginning makes it easy to blend with just about anything. Overall, a solid option to fill a couple minutes in your next set. Some key-compatible music from 100 to 105 bpm: Too Close - Next Levitating - Dua Lipa ft. DaBaby I.F.L.Y. - Bazzi Something Just Like This - The Chainsmokers & Coldplay Paris - The Chainsmokers Kids - OneRepublic I'm In Control - AlunaGeorge Perfect (Matoma Remix) - One Direction Cheyenne - Jason Derulo Midnight City - M83 Cake - Flo Rida & 99 Percent LoveGame - Lady Gaga Breathe Deeper - Tame Impala Madiba Riddim - Drake Sl...

Kiss The Sky - The Knocks ft. Wyclef Jean

Speed: 100 bpm Recommended bpm range: 95 to 100 bpm , 100 to 105 bpm The DJ's Take: Nice to see Wyclef doing well after that horrific attack from Dylan awhile back. As for the track, I like it - slick, futuristic beat with some meat in the percussion. At the very least, this should capably occupy a couple minutes in a pop set. If you're operating in the 100 to 105 bpm range, try mixing or making a mashup with songs like Me & The Rhythm - Selena Gomez , Levels - Nick Jonas , Be Faithful - Fatman Scoop , and Pretty Girls - Britney Spears ft. Iggy Azalea . If you're in the 95 to 100 bpm range, try going with tracks like Blank Space - Taylor Swift , Don't Tell Em - Jeremih , Back That Azz Up - Juvenile , Dreamlover - Mariah Carey , and Slow Motion - Trey Songz .

I Wish (My Taylor Swift) - The Knocks & Matthew Koma

Speed: 108 bpm Recommended bpm range: 105 to 110 bpm The DJ's Take: Should a guy really want to find his Taylor Swift? Because that seems like a lot of drama. As for the single itself, it's certainly worth a spot on your beach day playlist. Try mixing or mashing up with tracks like: Watch Me Do - Meghan Trainor , Feel Right - Mark Ronson ft. Mystikal , Peaches N Cream - Snoop Dogg , Get Down On It - Kool & The Gang , Trouble - Iggy Azalea ft. Jennifer Hudson , Doing It - Charli XCX ft. Rita Ora , Jump Around - House of Pain , Let's Get Blown - Snoop Dogg ft. Pharrell Download the song: iTunes Amazon
