Beat Match City

Speed: 100 bpm Recommended bpm range:   95  to  100 bpm ,  100  to  105 bpm The DJ's Take: Sounds like a remix of Sorry , so there's an easy mashup / mix right there. Big picture, I think this has hit potential, considering the artist and the producer. At the very least, it should keep things moving on a Top 40 night, which is all you really need. Try blending with tracks like:

Speed: 75 bpm Recommended bpm range: 70 bpm to 75 bpm , 75 bpm to 80 bpm The DJ's Take: Is it just me, or does she kinda sound like a frog when she says 'work-it'? Anyway, seems like her new singles generate some short-term buzz, so maybe you can get this in the rotation for a weekend or two. If you're staying key-compatible in the 75 to 80 bpm range, try mixing with:

1. Cold Water - Major Lazer ft. Justin Bieber, MØ 2. This Is What You Came For - Calvin Harris ft. Rihanna 3. CAN'T STOP THE FEELING! - Justin Timberlake 4. Work - Rihanna ft. Drake 5. Panda - Desiigner 6. One Dance - Drake 7. Low Life - Future + The Weekend 8. I Got The Keys - DJ Khaled ft. Jay-Z & Future 9. Don't Let Me Down - The Chainsmokers ft. Daya 10. Hey - Fais ft. Afrojack Any thoughts on what should be in the Top 10? Let us know on Facebook , Twitter and Instagram . (Photo via Morguefile )

Speed: 95 bpm Recommended bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm The DJ's Take: Seems like The Chainsmokers have been on a winning streak recently, which makes this worth a look. More of a quirky electronic curiosity than a Top 40 dancefloor banger, so I'd save it for a streaming / recorded mix or the new music portion of a set. Some key-compatible tracks worth mixing with include: Good For You - Selena Gomez ft. A$AP Rocky Love Me Like You Do - Ellie Goulding Don't - Ed Sheeran Only You - 112 Beware - Big Sean Up Down - T-Pain Ride Out - Kid Ink, Tyga, YG, Wale & Rich Homie Quan Download or stream the song: Spotify playlist (songs with similar key & bpm) Apple Music iTunes Amazon

Speed: 84 bpm Recommended bpm range: 80 bpm to 85 bpm The DJ's Take: Loud, hard-driving beat that should work with a hiphop crowd. And if you're wondering who Betty Wright is, her biggest hit was this song , which has been sampled a lot in the genre (including an underrated remix of a notable 90s classic). Try mixing or making a mashup with:

Speed: 74 bpm Recommended bpm range: 70 bpm to 75 bpm The DJ's Take: Probably not going in your wedding playlist. But if you have a young, high energy crowd that likes it loud, this is worth a spin. Part of a major movie soundtrack, and getting some initial traction on the charts, so the shelf life should last at least through the summer. Try mixing with tracks like:

tempo: 99 bpm bpm range: 95 to 100 bpm the DJ’s take: I don’t know - for some reason, the piano and shuffling beat make me want to tapdance or do the  Charleston . Familiar Poker Face sample and a notable cast of rappers make this worth a spin or two for nostalgia's sake. Fun fact: The original title was I Poke Her Face , but it was changed to something more radio-friendly. If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing with: Faith - George Michael Thrift Shop - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home) [feat. Plies] - Usher Lean Back - Terror Squad, Fat Joe & Remy download or stream the song: amazon itunes
