Miss You - Cashmere Cat, Major Lazer & Tory Lanez

tempo: 100 bpm bpm range: 95  to  100 bpm , 100 to 105 bpm the dj's take: The final song in version 31 (25:43): Just when you thought we were gonna end it with 'thank u, next'... we sneak this one in. Kind of like finding a dollar bill in your sofa cushion. On a side note, there's no doubt that 'thank u, next' and 'Miss You' are probably among the top 20 most texted phrases among teenaged girls in the US. Strong list of key-compatible tracks: Hips Don't Lie - Shakira ft.

Blood On The Money - Future

tempo: 73 bpm bpm range: 70 bpm  to  75 bpm the dj's take: The leadoff song on 32XL : First of three tracks with pretty similar sounding beats - played the first few minutes in the car for a friend and they had a hard time figuring out where the transitions were. Good ingredients for a mashup or seamless mix. Some other key-compatible music: Sunshine - Charlie Heat & Ant Beale Trophies - Young Money ft. Drake Give Me  A Try - Sizzla OMG - Camila Cabello ft.

Keep Ya Head Up - Tupac

tempo: 86 bpm bpm range: 85 bpm  to  90 bpm the dj's take: The leadoff song in 33XL : Tried to use the filler words he says right after the chorus to set up the transition into Khalid's Location . Kind of fun to have them go 'And uhh... send me your location...' Sounds like what half the websites I visit are asking me these days: Some other key-compatible tracks: Down and Out - Cam'ron ft. Kanye West N.Y. State of Mind - Nas How Do You Sleep? - Sam Smith Cheers (Drink To That) - Rihanna Krippy Kush - Farruko, Bad Bunny, Rvssian Holy Key - DJ Khaled Exchange - Bryson Tiller Back Up - DeJ Loaf ft.

Down and Out - Cam'ron ft. Kanye West

tempo: 83 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm  to  85 bpm the dj's take: Track #7 in our 33XL mix (14:58): Speaking of being down and out: Just goes to show that cheaters never win. And winners never cheat. Some other key-compatible music: N.Y. State of Mind - Nas How Do You Sleep? - Sam Smith Cheers (Drink To That) - Rihanna Location - Khalid Krippy Kush - Farruko, Bad Bunny, Rvssian Holy Key - DJ Khaled Exchange - Bryson Tiller Back Up - DeJ Loaf ft.

Exchange - Bryson Tiller

tempo: 80 bpm bpm range: 75 bpm  to  80 bpm ,  80 bpm  to  85 bpm the dj's take: The final song in our 33XL mix (19:17): Chopped this one up and made a mini-mashup with Always Be My Baby : This may be the first somewhat interesting loop I've cobbled together - managed to make him sing 'We used to... break it down.' Shoutout to Logic Pro X for helping me become the Korean Pete Rock . Some other key-compatible tracks: N.Y. State of Mind - Nas How Do You Sleep? - Sam Smith Cheers (Drink To That) - Rihanna Location - Khalid Krippy Kush - Farruko, Bad Bunny, Rvssian Holy Key - DJ Khaled Exchange - Bryson Tiller Back Up - DeJ Loaf ft.

N.Y. State of Mind - Nas

tempo: 84-85 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm  to  85 bpm ,  85 bpm  to  90 bpm the dj's take: Leadoff song in mix #33 : Want to hear something happy and uplifting? Look elsewhere. But if you appreciate classic hiphop, N.Y. State of Mind is required listening. Gritty, hypnotic beat that makes you feel like you're on a subway train to nowhere. Couldn't quite find a place for it in 33XL (using Logic Pro X makes me pickier), but a throwback dj should find a place for it in his/her rotation. Try mixing with: How Do You Sleep? - Sam Smith Cheers (Drink To That) - Rihanna Location - Khalid Krippy Kush - Farruko, Bad Bunny, Rvssian Holy Key - DJ Khaled Exchange - Bryson Tiller Back Up - DeJ Loaf ft.

Can't Take It From Me - Major Lazer ft. Skip Marley

tempo: 72-73 bpm bpm range: 70 bpm  to  75 bpm the dj's take: Song #8 in episode 29 (21:03): Track title reminds me of what Boban Marjanovic must've been thinking in this video: Something to look forward to when you're playing one-on-one with your kid in the driveway. The vocal-less opening makes this a mix-friendly single; I cut it up and used it again in the transition to Whatcha Say . Some other key-compatible music: No Matter What - T.I. Sensualidad - Bad Bunny X Prince Royce X J Balvin Still Tippin' - Swishahouse ft. Mike Jones, Slim Thug & Paul Wall 2U - David Guetta & Justin Bieber I Fall Apart - Post Malone Cry Me a River - Justin Timberlake Believer - Major Lazer, Showtek Everyday - A$AP Rocky ft.
