Only Girl in the World - Rihanna

tempo: 126 bpm bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm The DJ’s Take:  Song #11 in Episode 40 (16:24): So my goal was to make this mix as melodic as possible. Good placement here - clashed a little when I brought this in full volume over  Don't You Worry Child ; a gradual increase made it sound like it was emerging as the other song faded out. A solid choice for a pop dance set.

Don't You Worry Child - Swedish House Mafia ft. John Martin

tempo: 129 bpm bpm range:   125  to  130 bpm The DJ's Take:  Song #10 in  Episode 40  (14:19): This is a loud one. I turned down the volume so it wouldn't overpower the other tracks. Makes sense to bring it in gradually, which should give the listener a little more time to adjust. Unless you're blending with other big room edm on a sturdy sound system; then feel free to blast away.

Yeah 3X - Chris Brown

tempo: 130 bpm bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm , 130 to 135 bpm The DJ’s Take:  Song #9 in  Episode 40  (11:35): Maybe one of the most efficient song titles in recent memory. And that transition from Meet Me Halfway is on point - try it out for yourself.

Meet Me Halfway - Black Eyed Peas

tempo: 131 bpm bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm , 130 to 135 bpm the DJ’s take:  Song #8 in Episode 40 (10:19): Took a few minutes to figure out where to drop this in, but I think we made the right call. Another remnant of the pop EDM that flooded the industry ~2010; definitely dropped this a few times at my final college bar residency. Easy listening that the people can dance to - worth a spot in the rotation for special occasions.

Drunk In Love - Beyoncé ft. Jay-Z

tempo: 70 bpm bpm range: 65 bpm to 70 bpm , 70 bpm to 75 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #2 in Episode 41 (2:17): Got in and got out pretty quickly, but it's a quality cut. Super deep bass, so keep that in mind when you're deciding what to mix with - blasting this on top of another heavy track may distort the sound and pop the speakers. A virtual lock to get the females singing along on a pop or hiphop night. Some other key-compatible music: Ni**as in Paris - JAY-Z & Kanye West Deuces - Chris Brown Curve - Gucci Mane ft. The Weeknd Grammys - Drake, Future Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae) - Silento iSay - Wiz Khalifa ft. Juicy J Light Years - Yellow Claw Malibu - Miley Cyrus Download or stream Drunk in Love: Spotify playlist Amazon

Disturbia - Rihanna

tempo: 125 bpm bpm range: 120 to 125 bpm , 125  to  130 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #7 in Episode 40 (9:05): If I'm running a retail store, this one needs to be in the playlist - because we all know fast pop music gets people to buy buy buy . Old enough that I had it in the rotation when it came out. One of the regulars at the bar used to request Disturbia on behalf of the manager, saying she loved the song. I think he was just messing with me though. Worth a spin on a throwback dance night.
