tempo: 64 bpm, 128 bpm The DJ's Take: The final song in episode  #37  (13:48): For some reason the opening piano notes remind me of the beginning of Bob Seger's We've Got Tonight: Kind of feels like Bohemian Rhapsody; quiet interludes build up into a heavy drop. If you're spinning a set, you may want to isolate the loud parts, get in and out quickly. Or lay a looped instrumental from another song over the softer parts, like we did with Steve Aoki & will.i.am's Born To Get Wild . Some other key-compatible tracks: Break Free - Ariana Grande ft. Zedd Red Lights - Tïesto Five More Hours - Deorro x Chris Brown Lalala - Y2K, bbno$ What Is Love - Haddaway Hey Brother - Avicii Dreamer - Axwell /\ Ingrosso Somebody To Love (Remix) - Justin Bieber ft.

tempo: 79 bpm bpm range: 75 bpm  to  80 bpm the dj's take: Song #5 in our 33XL mix (10:48): This came out when I was in high school, and the hook is a certified classic. A must-spin in a 90s mix, and delivers a cool change of pace in a pop set. I could've done a better job transitioning in and out during this session; maybe we'll give it another go at some point. Watch for the change in key ~3 minutes in. Some other key-compatible tracks: Keep Ya Head Up - Tupac 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. Big Sean Play No Games - Big Sean Just Kickin' It - Xscape download or stream Always Be My Baby: amazon spotify playlist

Speed: 90-91 bpm The DJ's Take:  Song #7 in  43 degrees  (11:45): Some tracks are bangers; I'll classify this as more of a thumper. Classic stadium music for sure - solid entrance music for any event or occasion (including for groomsmen / bridesmaids). Worth a long-term spot in the pop & hiphop rotation. Try mixing with: fuck, i'm lonely - Lauv ft. Anne-Marie Still Not a Player - Big Pun ft. Joe Cheap Thrills - Sia Magic - Coldplay Cold Water - Major Lazer ft. Justin Bieber, MØ You Owe Me - The Chainsmokers Eastside - benny blanco, Halsey, Khalid EL BAÑO - Enrique Iglesias ft. Bad Bunny You're All I Need To Get By - Method Man & Mary J.

tempo: 112 bpm The DJ's Take:  Song #6 in mix 46  (8:24): Easter egg alert - as this song transitions into Pitbull's  Fun , you'll hear Chris Brown singing 'oh, feeling crazy.' Nice little touch, don't you think? A solid hit when it came out, and the hook rates highly on the singalong scale. Worth a long-term spot in the rotation, especially as a change of pace on a pop night. On a side note, trippy t-shirt design from the group's live album [click the image for the amazon link]: Try mixing with: After Hours - The Weeknd The Hills - The Weeknd 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 Anywhere - Dillon Francis download or stream Crazy: amazon spotify playlist

tempo: 80 bpm the dj's take: Song #3 in session 47  (4:55): Random reference - the flute-like instrument in the beat reminds me of the opening theme to Final Fantasy IX: Good fodder for a hiphop mix. Hisses a bit at times, so check your levels during the transition into whatever's next. Some other key-compatible music: Can't Tell Me Nothing - Kanye West 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 Praise The Lord (Da Shine): amazon spotify playlist

tempo: 105 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #6 in 45 and Lex  (8:57): Midnight City has always reminded me of a cold, industrial version of Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes: Has a nice bounce - I've always liked it. In the bigger picture, I'd argue episode 45 may be my best mix to date. Everything just kinda snapped into place, and this track was an important piece. Made it the day after going out drinking until 5 a.m. with a couple friends in Manhattan; should probably do that more often. Some key-compatible music between 100 and 105 bpm: Something Just Like This - The Chainsmokers & Coldplay Paris - The Chainsmokers Kids - OneRepublic I'm In Control - AlunaGeorge Perfect (Matoma Remix) - One Direction Cheyenne - Jason Derulo Classic - The Knocks Alejandro - Lady Gaga And from 105 to 110 bpm: Cake - Flo Rida & 99 Percent Anywhere - Rita Ora LoveGame - Lady Gaga Breathe Deeper - Tame Impala Madiba Riddim - Drake Sleeping With A Fr...
