Beat Match City

tempo: 62 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #8 in 7squared (15:59): Is there any easier mix / mashup than this and Burn ? Almost like Usher delivered twins. If you're going from U Got It Bad into Burn, that guitar solo starting around 3:04 is a good spot to start the transition. Some other key-compatible music: Believer - Imagine Dragons Ghosts N Stuff - deadmau5 The Box - Roddy Ricch Dark Horse - Katy Perry ft. Juicy J Bad and Boujee - Migos ft. Lil Uzi Vert My Way - Fetty Wap ft. Monty DEVASTATED - Joey Bada$$ download or stream U Got It Bad: spotify playlist amazon

tempo: 105 bpm The DJ's Take: Penultimate song in 45 and Lex  (15:49): Did you know Bazzi sells his own boxing hand wraps: What's his connection to the sweet science? Because if there isn't one, maybe it's time to make my own line of curling stones. Anyway, nice background music for a Sunday stroll, arm-in-arm in the park during a montage in a romantic movie. Also a solid choice when you're starting to wrap up a set - guitars and gentle beat make it melt into Halsey's You should be sad . 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: Midnight City - M83 Cake - Flo Rida & 99 Percent Anywhere - Rita Ora LoveGame - Lady Gaga Breathe Deeper - Tame Impala ...

tempo: 102 bpm the dj's take: Final song in #48 (28:08): As I mentioned when we talked about Father Figure , I had to do a little surgery in Logic Pro X to make the beats match more closely. That's the challenge sometimes when you're mixing music from the 80s and 90s; less computerized, so things can feel a little more uneven. But if you slice & dice the right way without warping the music, the end result sounds pretty good.

My improvised method for creating an echo effect with Logic Pro X in I Wonder (Kanye West) over the intro to Starboy (The Weeknd & Daft Punk) . Any feedback on how to do it better?

  tempo: 106 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #7 in chapter 52 (14:58): Kind of a quiet intro, and the drums and the vocals hit heavily, so we had to get creative with the transition from Jeremih's Don't Tell 'Em . And then a pretty smooth move into Avicii's Lonely Together . Steel drums add a summery, tropical vibe. Worth a spot in a pop set, especially if you see Selena's target demo in the crowd (i.e. twenty-something women). Some other key-compatible tracks: Be Faithful - Fatman Scoop ft. Faith Evans Me & The Rhythm - Selena Gomez Blem - Drake Blueberry Faygo - Lil Mosey Dreamlover - Mariah Carey It's Great to Be Here - Jackson 5 Happier - Marshmello, Bastille Me & The Rhythm - Selena Gomez Crazy In Love - Beyoncé ft.

tempo: 90 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #1 in our chapter 51 mix (made in Logic Pro X ): Big bass, so I had to be strategic about where to transition out and into Rihanna's Work . A little more of an in-depth look, plus some thoughts on its shelf life in a dj's rotation: Bottom line, when nightlife at college bars picks up again, this will likely be in heavy rotation. Some other key-compatible tracks: Thrift Shop - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft.

tempo: 95-96 bpm the dj's take: Song #5 in our chapter 53 mix (8:36): This is probably the one I had the most fun with while making this. The intro is a seamless fit over Mary J. Blige's Real Love , especially with the matching pianos. Strong mashup potential there. Then we ran back the intro over the opening to The Weeknd's Starboy . Even did a little echo effect on the word 'means'; here's a video on how we made it happen in Logic Pro X : Some other key-compatible music: Delicate - Taylor Swift Stir Fry - Migos Gorgeous - Taylor Swift Unpretty - TLC Suena El Dembow - Joey Montana, Sebastián Yatra Pendulum - Katy Perry One More Chance (Remix) - Notorious BIG SUBEME LA RADIO - Enrique Iglesias All We Know - The Chainsmokers Back To Sleep - Chris Brown No Games - Serani Out of the Woods - Taylor Swift This Is How We Do - Katy Perry Teaser - Tanto Metro & Devonte, Devonte & Tanto Metro Heads High - Mr. Vegas F.F.F. ...
