Umbrella - Rihanna

tempo: 87 bpm bpm range:   85  to  90 bpm the dj's take: Song #6 in episode #65 of our mix show (12:48): Ready-made mix / mashup with Do Ya Thang , to the point where you're sure a central idea spawned two similar tracks - guess that makes me a music conspiracy theorist. And the transition into Aston Martin Music is so smooth that when the overlap ends, the drop into the Chrisette Michele vocals can be a little jarring. Had a hankering to sneak Umbrella into a mix in a proper context for awhile now; mission accomplished. Some other key-compatible music: Heartless - Kanye West Yonaguni - Bad Bunny Stay - The Kid LAROI ft. Justin Bieber I Like Dat - T-Pain and Kehlani Guess Who's Back - Scarface Ahora - J Balvin Se Preparó - Ozuna Kill Jay-Z - Jay-Z Can I Get A - Jay-Z  Umbrella - Rihanna Treat You Better - Shawn Mendes Mind - Skrillex & Diplo Chandelier - Sia Burn - Ellie Goulding download or stream Heartless: amazo...

Heartless - Kanye West

tempo: 88 bpm bpm range:   85  to  90 bpm the dj's take: Song #1 in episode #65 of our mix show: You know, I always thought this would sound cool with Chandelier , but was done with dj'ing before I could try it out in public. Finally tried the combo out, and after chopping up the beat a bit in Logic Pro X for a smoother mix, the final product turned out alright. Lyrics end around 3:05 in, which was a good time to drop Sia's vocals in. Here's a visual of the transition: Some other key-compatible music: Yonaguni - Bad Bunny Stay - The Kid LAROI ft. Justin Bieber I Like Dat - T-Pain and Kehlani Guess Who's Back - Scarface Ahora - J Balvin Se Preparó - Ozuna Kill Jay-Z - Jay-Z Can I Get A - Jay-Z  Umbrella - Rihanna Treat You Better - Shawn Mendes Mind - Skrillex & Diplo Chandelier - Sia Burn - Ellie Goulding download or stream Heartless: amazon DJ Cheat Sheet playlist

Yonaguni - Bad Bunny

tempo: 90 bpm bpm range:   85  to  90 bpm the dj's take: Song #4 in episode #65 of our mix show (7:41): I'm about 98% sure that multiple hiphop dj's have remixed / mashed up Yonaguni with Miss Independent . I figured it would sound good, but that pairing is like the glass slipper on Cinderella's foot. Makes sense to put the lengthy vocal-free Miss Independent intro over the drum-less, vocal-centric Yonaguni intro. Here's how it looked in Logic Pro X : Some other key- and bpm-compatible music: Stay - The Kid LAROI ft. Justin Bieber I Like Dat - T-Pain and Kehlani Guess Who's Back - Scarface Ahora - J Balvin Se Preparó - Ozuna Kill Jay-Z - Jay-Z Can I Get A - Jay-Z  Umbrella - Rihanna Treat You Better - Shawn Mendes Mind - Skrillex & Diplo Chandelier - Sia Burn - Ellie Goulding download or stream Yonaguni: amazon DJ Cheat Sheet playlist

Stay - The Kid LAROI ft. Justin Bieber

tempo: 85 bpm bpm range:   85  to  90 bpm the dj's take: Song #9 in episode #65 of our mix show (22:29): Cool transition out of Scarface's Guess Who's Back ; loop that properly and you've got an interesting potential beat / mashup. And then we slide into T-Pain and Kehlani's I Like Dat to slow down the pace and take us into the home stretch. A must-spin for any pop dj - serves up a burst of bouncy energy for the youth who've been cooped up for awhile now. Some other key- and bpm-compatible music: Ahora - J Balvin Se Preparó - Ozuna Kill Jay-Z - Jay-Z Can I Get A - Jay-Z  Miss Independent - Ne-Yo Umbrella - Rihanna Treat You Better - Shawn Mendes Mind - Skrillex & Diplo Chandelier - Sia Burn - Ellie Goulding download or stream Stay: amazon DJ Cheat Sheet playlist
