Beat Match City

Speed:  127 bpm The DJ's Take: Does it get any more Miami than this? Underfed, stereotypically-edgy female named Havana with generous helpings of autotune, dramatic electro dance beat that steals the spotlight, and Pitbull sleepwalking through another well-paid cameo. Kind of one of those tracks you may consider solid today because it's the age of 130 bpm electro-pop, but no one will remember it at all next year. DJ's - turn on key adjust and mix with: Danza Kuduro - Don Omar , Shut It Down - Pitbull ft. Akon , Feel So Close - Calvin Harris , F*ck You - Ceelo Green , Push It - Salt N Pepa , U Can't Touch This - MC Hammer , Right Round - Flo Rida Download the song: Amazon:

Speed: 130 bpm The DJ's Take: That phone exchange between the two guys at the beginning kind of reminds me of those two foreigners from Family Guy . I half-expected them to break out into an English version of this song, which would've been even more painful. Anyway, this has gotten a good amount of play at local bars, so if someone asks for that 'oy yoy yoy' song, you know what to put on. Definitely worth a download.

Speed: 120 bpm The DJ's Take: This has been out for awhile, but I've recently heard this a few times on the radio in Boston. My verdict - another strong effort from Mr. Paul, even if I still can't understand much of what he says. Even if this never catches on chart-wise, get it in your rotation. Good for summer driving with the windows down or a spin at the club. DJ's - mix with: DJ Got Us Falling In Love - Usher , Teenage Dream - Katy Perry Download the song: Amazon:

Speed: 127 bpm The DJ's Take: So I've been hearing dj's spinning this a good amount in bars around where I live, and it isn't hard to see why. You got a slick, driving electro dance beat with two recognizable artists. But somehow it isn't getting much reaction from the crowds. Two reasons (in my opinion) - no popular radio saturation, and T-Pain sounds like a crow with an autotune apparatus stuck in its hindquarters. That said, according to Wikipedia , this was big in South Korea back in October 2011, so maybe it's worth a spin if you work at a bar on that fun little stretch on 32nd St. in Manhattan . On a side note, let the title of this track be a warning to all young males out there. Because despite what it says, you should never be in a bar or club of any sort when the lights come on. Because that is when the beasts come out. Download the song: Amazon:

Speed: 128 bpm The DJ's Take: Couple comments on this video. First, is the font on those letters a ripoff of those new Transformers movies or what? Also, Chris Brown - nostril piercings are for attractive and/or edgy young ladies. Not you. As for the track itself, definitely worth a spin or two at least. I think it has the potential to be a club hit. Try turning on key adjust and mixing with Usher's OMG and More . Download the song:

Speed: 75 bpm Recommended bpm range: 70 bpm to 75 bpm , 75 bpm to 80 bpm The DJ's Take: If we ever trend back to slower tracks in the top 40, it will be because of singles like this. Nothing tacky or overdone here - just a steady, driving beat & solid vocals. Worth a download if you're looking for some new club-friendly hiphop and R&B. DJ's - mix with  Strange Clouds - B.o.B Download the song: Amazon
