Beat Match City

tempo: 124 bpm the DJ's take: In terms of energy and key/note progression, I feel like this one could go well with Ne-Yo's Let's Go , Bingo Players' Cry Just A Little , Flo Rida's I Cry , and maybe the Day N Nite - Crookers Remix . Fast and danceable, with a buzzy, hypnotic bass. Definitely worth a spin in a poolside dance mix. download or stream 4th of July (Fireworks): amazon dj cheat sheet playlist

tempo: 101 bpm the DJ's take: Nice little aesthetic for the video - feels like it could be playing in the background of a bar on a karaoke night, and the letters getting typed out on the bottom remind me of the end of every Doogie Howser episode where he's writing in his journal . As for the music, that intro could sound interesting with Lil Mosey's Blueberry Faygo . The beats are almost like two peas in a pod; a no-brainer combo for a mix or mashup. download or stream I Like You (A Happier Song): amazon dj cheat sheet playlist

tempo: 78 bpm up until 1:39, 83 bpm after the DJ's take: If I were a streetballer, Jimmy Cooks would be my nom de rue (as opposed to nom de plume ). Lots of no-look passes and killer crossovers in my imaginary youtube mixtape. Could also work as an alternate title for Jimmy Butler's cooking show . I feel like that first 1:39 with the horns could sound cool with T.I.'s Ride Wit Me ; no real percussion-only sections in either one though, as far as I can tell. Maybe we'll take a closer look sometime - stay tuned (but don't hold your breath). download or stream Jimmy Cooks: amazon dj cheat sheet playlist (75 to 80 bpm) , dj cheat sheet playlist (80 to 85 bpm)

tempo: 109 bpm the DJ's take: The feature song in mix #76 (2:35): The first 20 seconds are worth clipping and looping for a potential mashup/remix. Haven't tried it yet, but this might be interesting over Jason Derulo's Want to Want Me . Or maybe throw it together with Drake's Down Hill and call it 'Running Up and Down That Hill.' The possibilities are endless. download or stream Running Up That Hill: amazon dj cheat sheet playlist

When I'm making a mix or mashup in Logic Pro , it often becomes clear that an edit needs to be made. Maybe we want to try inserting a new song or sample into the middle of the project, or moving around pieces to improve the flow. But how do you do that without ruining the parts of the project you want to leave as is? In this video, we go over how to select multiple regions of a project so you can keep them together and move them around as one. Maybe more of an advanced beginner/intermediate level tutorial, but I think it'll still be useful for someone who's just getting started too. The featured project is my mashup You Know You Like Roses (ft. Eminem, DJ Snake, DMX, and Saint JHn) . And here's a link to our most basic (and popular) tutorial, How to Start a New Mix in Logic Pro . Background music for the video: Mellow Drama - sterling mercury

Made with Logic Pro at 121 bpm Took me awhile; I probably went through about 15 different songs off this DJ Cheat Sheet playlist , and settled on something simple. Percussion throughout is from the opening to Disclosure's Watch Your Step . The Rihanna vocals come from the very end of Disturbia where the drums peel off, then we threw in a little sample from the beginning of Jax Jones' You Don't Know Me to break up the monotony. Second half felt better - the beginning of Ed Sheeran's Bad Habits before the drums drop in was a nice loop, and then we threw in the beginning guitar riff from Swedish House Mafia's Don't You Worry Child to thicken it up a bit. On a side note, I thought the opening part of Tame Impala's The Moment over the aforementioned Rihanna vocal from Disturbia could've been interesting, but I couldn't find a spot to fit it in for this session. Maybe some other time.
