Player's Ball - OutKast

tempo: 93 bpm bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm the dj's take: Song #6 in our eight is not enough mix (14:07): A little dated? Maybe. But the swag is undeniable, and if you're spinning southern hiphop from the 90s [bonus points if the venue is in Atlanta], get this one in the rotation. Try mixing with: Nice For What - Drake In My Feelings - Drake Microphone Fiend - Eric B. & Rakim Love Me Like You Do - Ellie Goulding Hurt You - The Weeknd El Perdón - Nicky Jam, Enrique Iglesias Closer - The Chainsmokers Don't - Ed Sheeran Ride Out - Kid Ink, Tyga, YG, Wale & Rich Homie Quan download or stream Player's Ball: amazon spotify playlist

You Know I'm No Good - Amy Winehouse

tempo: 104 bpm bpm range: 100 to 105 bpm the dj's take: The final song in our nine is fine mix (29:04): The track switches back and forth between two different keys, so it was important to pick the right starting point as I transitioned out of Flo Rida's Whistle. Worked out nicely here. Anyway, worth a spin on a pop night. Those shuffling drums make you want to move, and people should recognize the melody and appreciate the change of pace.

Famous - Kanye West

Speed: 87 bpm bpm range: 85 bpm to 90 bpm The DJ's Take: The leadoff song in our tenthirtynine mix: Good illustration of the saying 'less is more.'

No Brainer - DJ Khaled, Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance The Rapper

tempo: 102 bpm bpm range: 100 to 105 bpm the dj's take: Song #4 in our nine is fine mix (8:33): Beat reminds me of that Call On Me remix: So there's an easy mix / mashup idea right there.
