Beat Match City

tempo: 80 bpm the dj's take: Song #2 in session 47  (2:47): And track #4 in Deuces  (7:19): Heavy, in a good way. An anthem of defiance for people with ambition. Should play well in a club or during a workout. Some other key-compatible music: Blinding Lights - The Weeknd Xxplosive - Dr. Dre So Fresh, So Clean - OutKast break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored - Ariana Grande This Is Why I'm Hot - MIMS It's Gonna Be Me - NSYNC Flexicution - Logic Gangsta's Paradise - Coolio Simple Things (Remix) - Miguel Turnin Me On - Keri Hilson You Make Me Wanna - Usher download or stream Can't Tell Me Nothing: amazon spotify playlist

tempo: 85 bpm the dj's take: Leadoff track in session 47 : Doesn't get any more 80s than this. I probably went through about 7-8 follow-up tracks on the  spotify playlist  because of the contrast between its manic energy and the slower vibe of the other songs in that bpm range. Finally settled on Kanye's  Can't Tell Me Nothing . And even then, it took a couple more iterations before the transition felt right. In any case, this one will have a long shelf life - get it in the rotation if you haven't already. Some other key-compatible music: Xxplosive - Dr. Dre So Fresh, So Clean - OutKast break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored - Ariana Grande This Is Why I'm Hot - MIMS It's Gonna Be Me - NSYNC Flexicution - Logic Gangsta's Paradise - Coolio Simple Things (Remix) - Miguel Turnin Me On - Keri Hilson You Make Me Wanna - Usher download or stream Blinding Lights: amazon spotify playlist

tempo: 85 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm to 85 bpm , 85 bpm to 90 bpm The DJ's Take:  Song #10 in detour 44  (20:40): One of the great singalong songs of all-time, whether you're spinning at a college bar or doing karaoke. On a more technical note: transitioning into The Deele's Two Occasions was a bit trickier than expected. Not 100% key-compatible, at least over a longer period, so I brought The Deele in at the very end to minimize any clashing.

tempo: 105 bpm The DJ's Take:  The leadoff song in 45 and Lex : Surprising that this wasn't a bigger hit. Party vibe is undeniable; should play well for people of all ages. Flows nicely into Clean Bandit & Demi Lovato's  Solo , and gets the mix off to a strong start. On a side note, saw this t-shirt on amazon and had a flashback to high school [click the image for the product page]: This is the album that features one of the great workout songs of all-time: I remember being on the tennis team, riding shotgun to an away match, and the coach suddenly asked me to take over the steering wheel so he could eat a sandwich. This song was blasting on the stereo as we were going around 80 mph on the highway. Pretty exhilarating. Also a minor miracle that we didn't all die. Anyway, back to the Flo Rida track - some key-compatible music between 100 and 105 bpm: Something Just Like This - The Chainsmokers & Coldplay Paris - The Chainsmokers Ki...

tempo: 104 bpm bpm range: 100 to 105 bpm The DJ's Take:  Song #3 in 45 and Lex  (3:45): I like the distorted synth leading into the distorted vocals in Rita Ora's  Anywhere . Probably won't make the crowd go crazy, but it should keep things moving pretty nicely. Especially if people are in the mood for smoother electro-pop. Some key-compatible music between 100 and 105 bpm: Something Just Like This - The Chainsmokers & Coldplay Paris - The Chainsmokers Kids - OneRepublic Perfect (Matoma Remix) - One Direction Cheyenne - Jason Derulo Classic - The Knocks Alejandro - Lady Gaga And from 105 to 110 bpm: LoveGame - Lady Gaga Solo - Clean Bandit (ft. Demi Lovato) Breathe Deeper - Tame Impala Madiba Riddim - Drake Sleeping With A Friend - Neon Trees Nasty Boy - Notorious BIG Shots - Imagine Dragons Midnight City - M83 Last Christmas - Wham!

tempo: 109 bpm The DJ's Take:  Song #10 in mix 46  (14:11): When I first heard this, my immediate thought was double-timing it over  The Hills . And lo and behold, we made a pretty savory mix / mashup that fans of The Weeknd will appreciate. On the more technical side, took an instrumental-only slice of After Hours and slipped it under the opening of The Hills to soften the transition (in  Logic Pro X ): Worth a spin on a pop night. Try mixing with: Treasure - Bruno Mars Want to Want Me - Jason Derulo Boom Boom - RedOne, Daddy Yankee, French Montana In My Head - Jason Derulo Because Of You - Ne-Yo Heat Stroke - Calvin Harris Hands To Myself - Selena Gomez Cool For The Summer - Demi Lovato Fun - Pitbull ft.
