Beat Match City

Speed: 61 bpm The DJ's Take: Exhibit A of what lazy producers do when they assume we can't remember anything from over 1 year ago. Listen to this and J. Holiday's Bed side by side and tell me it isn't essentially the same beat. One benefit of getting older - my memory will fade even more and I won't be semi-irked by stuff like this anymore.

Besides a new #5, virtually no difference from last month: BMC Top 5 Singles for March 2012: 1. Levels - Avicii 2. Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO 3. Sexy And I Know It - LMFAO 4. Pumped Up Kicks - Foster The People 5. Domino - Jessie J Top 5 BPMs for March 2012: 1. 130 bpm 2. 125 bpm 3. 100 bpm 4. 120 bpm 5. 135 bpm My bad for not writing as much in March. Seems like we had a lot of the top songs already covered, since I can apparently see the future. That said, we may see some new tracks sneak in soon enough. Stay tuned.

Speed: 120 bpm Recommended bpm range: 115 to 120 bpm The DJ's Take: You know what? I like this song. Kind of a fresh, warm sound. No affectation. Just happy and fun. Tonight Is The Night is how Generation Z pop music should sound. I have no idea how popular it is, but there's no reason it shouldn't be, at least at some point. Wouldn't be surprised if this is a hit at proms and spring college parties around the country. Try mixing with tracks like Good Girls Lie - Akon , Freedom - Pitbull , Hold Up, Wait A Minute - ZHU , Cake By The Ocean - DNCE , How Deep is Your Love - Calvin Harris + Disciples , Talking Body - Tove Lo , 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

Speed: 125 bpm Recommended bpm range: 120 to 125 bpm , 125 to 130 bpm The DJ's Take: If you're older than 15 years old, there's no excuse for liking this song. I feel like it would fit in as a very cutesy K-Pop dance track with all the distortion and sound effects. Used to go to the bars in K-Town in NYC (32nd St. btw 5th and Broadway; solid place for Korean food if you're visiting) around 2001-05, and this took me back. Break it out for middle school and freshman/sophomore high school dances; otherwise, play at your own peril. DJ's - turn on key adjust and mix with: Noche No Termina - Pitbull , That High - Pitbull ft. Kelly Rowland , Wake Me Up - Avicii , Don't You Worry Child - Swedish House Mafia , P.Y.T.

Speed: 85.5 bpm Recommended bpm range: 85 bpm to 90 bpm The DJ's Take: One thing you can definitely say about B.o.B - he's different. This is like a hiphop show tune. Not sure what to make of it, but not bad either. Guess he's trying to cross over once again like Allen Iverson (or maybe Derrick Rose ), and it's working. On a side note, it's no surprise that as a dedicated Red Sox fan, I hear the words 'So good' and start thinking about what casual fans sing at Fenway in the 8th inning . Turn on key adjust and mix with: Written In The Stars - Tinie Tempah , One More Chance (Remix) - Notorious BIG Download the MP3: Amazon

Speed: 127 bpm Recommended bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm The DJ's Take: This song is really bad. I mean, really bad. How this made it into the Billboard Top 5 is a mystery. Kind of like life itself . Seriously though, advice for American females aged 13-19: just because it's foreign doesn't mean it's good. Really. Turn on key adjust and mix with: Lift Me Up - David Guetta , Whip It! - LunchMoney Lewis , Sweet Lovin' - Sigala , Won't Stop Rocking - R3hab & Headhunterz , Heaven - Shaun Frank & KSHMR , Poison - Martin Garrix , Love Myself - Hailee Steinfeld , Break Free - Ariana Grande ft.

Besides a new #1, not much of a change from last month: BMC Top 5 Singles for February 2012: 1. Levels - Avicii 2. Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO 3. Sexy And I Know It - LMFAO 4. Pumped Up Kicks - Foster The People 5. Look At Me Now - Chris Brown Top 5 BPMs for February 2012: 1. 130 bpm 2. 125 bpm 3. 100 bpm 4. 135 bpm 5. 115 bpm Definitely looks like faster bpm's and LMFAO were in favor among dj's in February. While the top 5 were basically unchanged, there are definitely some contenders knocking on the door. It'll be interesting to see who makes a breakthrough next month.
