Beat Match City

Speed: 81 bpm The DJ's Take: Here's an interesting question - where does this rank all-time among songs with the title 'Jump'? Compared to a couple off the top of my head ( Van Halen and Kriss Kross ), I'd say it holds its own. That buildup and breakdown is nice. So what if it isn't 125 bpm - even I could get down to this (provided my 30-something body didn't break down in the process). And in case you were wondering - yes, that chorus is from Ginuwine's Pony . Download the song: Amazon:

  Speed: 60 bpm Recommended bpm range: 55 bpm to 60 bpm , 60 bpm to 65 bpm The DJ's Take:  7 e's in the word love - that's gotta be a record, right? Slow, syrupy, and sensual texture makes it a lock for an end-of-the-night spin. Try mixing with key- and tempo-compatible tracks like: Make Me... - Britney Spears ft. G-Eazy 2 Phones - Kevin Gates Often - The Weeknd Yoga - Janelle Monae CoCo - O.T. Genasis Party Girls - Ludacris ft. Wiz Khalifa Birthday Sex - Jeremih Loveeeeeee Song - Rihanna ft. Future Download or stream the song: Spotify playlist Apple Music iTunes

Speed: 136 bpm The DJ's Take: All I can say is how dare they bastardize one of the catchiest songs of my childhood . That said, while I'm trying to hate on this, it's kind of hard. Not as fun as his last single , but not bad either. A little fast, but try mixing with I Cry , Scream & Shout , or Day N Nite . Download the song: Amazon:

Speed: 102 bpm The DJ's Take: So we posted this on the Facebook page a couple weeks back, and it's already in the top 5 on Billboard. Pretty clear that fans missed him, and it's got a certain polish and elegance that reminds us why he's cool. Definitely not a 130 bpm dance track, and you have to respect a guy who does things his own way. This would be a pretty nice fit with Beautiful ( which was big 10 years ago when the Neptunes were all over the radio and BET) and Too Close - Next . A nice comeback track, and a solid addition to your rotation. Download the song: Amazon:

Speed: 96 bpm The DJ's Take: Aside from the chorus, I actually don't mind this track too much. One thing you kind of forget when you think about how Drake was on Degrassi Junior High and picks fights with tough guys like Chris Brown - he can rap. Anyway, if you're feeling adventurous, try mixing with something like Fallin Up . If not, be a sellout and shoehorn into something like Thrift Shop . Download the song: Amazon:

In any case, thanks to everyone out there for an exceptional 2012. Our readership continues to grow in a big way, and hopefully we'll have another banner year in 2013.
