Cool for the Summer - Demi Lovato

Speed: 114 bpm The DJ's Take: I know mindless Vegas pool party music when I hear it, and this is it. The hard guitars add a little edge, so who knows - if the establishment you dj at has a pole, some young lady in her early 20s may wrap herself around it to this track. Also, currently #1 on iTunes, so your audience is probably familiar. Try mixing with tracks like The Hills - The Weeknd , Want To Want Me - Jason Derulo , Fun - Pitbull ft. Chris Brown , Treasure - Bruno Mars , In My Head - Jason Derulo , Because Of You - NeYo , Am I Wrong - Nico & Vinz and International Love - Pitbull ft. Chris Brown .

Play No Games - Big Sean ft. Chris Brown, Ty Dolla $ign

Speed: 81.5 bpm The DJ's Take: A true throwback - I knew that video reminded me of a 90s sitcom. And it features the vintage R&B bounce that got my head nodding as a teenager. In fact, pair this with Just Kickin' It - Xscape and you have a hot mix/mashup for the grown and sexy. Other options include Always Be My Baby - Mariah Carey , Down and Out - Cam'ron , Cheers (Drink To That) - Rihanna , and maybe even We Go Down - Krewella if you wanna go cross-genre. Download the song: Amazon: Play No Games [feat. Chris Brown] [Explicit] , Play No Games [feat. Ty Dolla $ign] [Clean]

All Eyes On You - Meek Mill ft. Nicki Minaj and Chris Brown

Speed: 77.5 bpm The DJ's Take: Powerful, driving beat you can blast in the car or dance to in the club. Seems like the rest of the country likes it too, which means you should get this in your playlist as soon as possible. If you're going key-compatible, try mixing with tracks like American Oxygen - Rihanna , Live Your Life - T.I. ft Rihanna , I'm On One - DJ Khaled , and Miss Me - Drake Download the song: Amazon: All Eyes On You (feat. Chris Brown & Nicki Minaj) [Explicit]

Obsessed - Mariah Carey

tempo: 87 bpm bpm range:   85 bpm  to  90 bpm the DJ’s take:  This one came out around the time we all knew she was past her prime, and a single going #1 felt more like a lifetime achievement award than a referendum on relevance. The auto-tune on one of the great voices of all-time was the giveaway. Regardless, it's a club-friendly single that made its mark in the late 2000s. Worth a spin during the throwback portion of a pop set. Try mixing or mashing up with key-compatible tracks like: First Time - Kygo, Ellie Goulding Versace On The Floor - Bruno Mars Two Birds, One Stone - Drake Waterfalls - TLC With You - Chris Brown Somethin Tells Me - Bryson Tiller Xxplosive [Explicit] - Dr. Dre ft. Nate Dogg Impatient - Jeremih ft. Ty Dolla $ign New Americana - Halsey Nobody To Love - Sigma Drankin' Patna - T-Pain How Many Drinks - Miguel Part II (On The Run) - Jay-Z ft. Beyoncé Me and My Broken Heart - Rixton download or stream the song: amazon ...

So Fine - Sean Paul

tempo: 137 bpm bpm range:   135  to  140 bpm the DJ’s take:  Probably not going on his Greatest Hits collection, but danceable nonetheless. Best way I can describe it is like a cross between Mission Impossible and strobe light photography with the punctuated beat. Different sound from what he’s done before, which is a good thing. Worth a spin from time to time when the mood is right. Try mixing with: Drifting - G-Eazy ft. Chris Brown, Tory Lanez Elastic Heart - Sia Pop That - French Montana Pour It Up - Rihanna download or stream the song: amazon itunes

No Sleeep - Janet Jackson

Speed: 88 bpm The DJ's Take: A true throwback - this could've fit right in on The Velvet Rope . Is it a hit? Not sure; R&B doesn't seem to resonate with the people anymore. That said, Janet Jackson's fan base is obviously huge, and they should appreciate this smooth, vintage single. If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing tracks like Out of the Woods - Taylor Swift , One More Chance - Notorious BIG , No Games - Serani , and Real Love - Mary J. Blige .
