tempo: 107 bpm the DJ's take: Good instrumental intro gives you something to work with in a mix or mashup.

tempo: 67 bpm the DJ's take: Probably a good choice as the backbone of a mashup/remix; heavy vocal-free intro. You could maybe pair with some lighter tracks like Mercy , Lemonade , or even Breakdown .

tempo: 84 bpm the DJ's take: Song title makes me think of a NASCAR race sponsored by Yandel. Maybe if I get famous enough one day, I'll be waving the checkered flag at the Taeho 250.

Made with Logic Pro at 118 bpm Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53 - Bizarrap, Shakira [122 bpm] Lost - Frank Ocean Hung Up - Madonna Alive - Empire of the Sun I was actually sitting on this for about 3 weeks, had the basic framework and song selection, kept getting hung up on whether to bring in Hung Up or Alive first (among some other things), then it finally clicked at the eleventh hour. My favorite part may be at the end where it's just Lost and Hung Up, and Hung Up is building up into the drop - just learned today that it's a sample from this ABBA song (about 19 seconds in) . As always, got all the music off my own djcheatsheet.com 120 to 125 bpm playlist, although the final version clocked in at 118 bpm. Why? My mind was probably just on auto-pilot, but everything sounded ok in the end.
