Influence - Tove Lo ft. Wiz Khalifa

Speed: 105 bpm Recommended bpm range: 100 to 105 bpm , 105 to 110 bpm The DJ's Take: Has a seductive tropical bounce that should get females moving. Interesting guest spot from Wiz Khalifa, and he's versatile enough to pull it off without getting in the way. Certainly worth a spot in the new music portion of a set, with some potential to creep up the charts over time. If you're between 105 and 110 bpm, try mixing with:

Cool Girl - Tove Lo

Speed: 102 bpm Recommended bpm range: 100 to 105 bpm The DJ's Take: Breezy, laidback, female-friendly vibe makes it worth a spot in the new music playlist. Nice little pop morsel for a pool party. If you're around 100 bpm, try mixing with key-compatible tracks like:

Close - Nick Jonas ft. Tove Lo

Speed: 62 bpm Recommended bpm range: 60 bpm to 65 bpm The DJ's Take: If I'm doing a contemporary dance recital with a strapping young lass in matching black leotards, this is my song. Probably not ideal in a club-type setting where energy is important, but worth a spin in a laid-back bar environment. Try mixing or mashing up with tracks like Bad (Remix) - Wale ft. Rihanna , Fairly Local - twenty one pilots , and It Won't Stop - Sevyn Streeter ft. Chris Brown . If you need to pick up the pace, try half-timing into Fast Car - Jonas Blue , Say My Name - ODESZA , Poison - Bel Biv Devoe , Billie Jean - Michael Jackson , C O O L - Le Youth , and Get Lucky - Daft Punk . Download the song: iTunes Amazon

Talking Body - Tove Lo

Speed: 120 bpm The DJ's Take: Kind of a fun, whimsical pop song that should appeal to females and fashion show music coordinators. Currently making a move in the lower part of the Billboard Hot 100, and I'll be surprised if it doesn't jump at least a little more. For a key-compatible mix/mashup, try blending with tracks like Come Get It Bae - Pharrell , She Came To Give It To You - Usher , Blurred Lines - Robin Thicke , Take Your Time (Do It Right) by The S.O.S. Band , Ghost Town - Adam Lambert and Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen. Download the song: Amazon: Talking Body [Explicit]

Heroes (We Could Be) - Alesso ft. Tove Lo

Speed: 126 bpm The DJ's Take:  Nice uplifting track for an EDM night or festival. Although I've been hearing this on the local pop radio station too, so maybe it'll get some traction during a Top 40 night. Couple unconventional but interesting mix recommendations - Fireball - Pitbull and #SELFIE - The Chainsmokers . Download the song: Amazon: Heroes (we could be) [feat. Tove Lo]

Habits (Stay High) - Tove Lo

Speed: 110 bpm The DJ's Take: So we covered the remix awhile back , the song got popular, I thought I'd already covered it, and turns out the original version is pretty different. My bad. Anyway, Habits has an ethereal vibe - I could imagine riding a horse on an abandoned beach (or an open prairie) into the sunset as it plays. Not exactly a happy song though; I think if you're a grownup who hasn't been living under a rock, you can identify with the lyrics to a certain degree. Either that, or you're a healthy, well-adjusted person, so good for you. Anyway, if you're doing a key-compatible mix or mashup, Like A Prayer - Madonna would be a slam dunk. Also try blending with tracks like Man of the Year - SchoolBoy Q , Nothin' On You (feat. Bruno Mars) - B.o.B , Just The Way You Are - Bruno Mars , Grenade - Bruno Mars , and Ooo La La - Robin Thicke . Motown Philly - Boyz II Men could work too if you're looking to pick up the energy and edge into the...

Stay High (Habits Remix) - Tove Lo ft. Hippie Sabotage

Speed: 60.5 bpm The DJ's Take: Editors Note: If you're looking for the original version, click here . If you're spinning at a bar and the manager's telling you to finish up while you're on Get Lucky , Blurred Lines or White Walls , this could be a stylish way to close things out. Wouldn't be shocked to see Stay High on the soundtrack for a hypothetical sequel to Trainspotting . At the very least, it's worth a download for your 'Feeling Pensive/Rainy Day' playlist.
