dj mix/mashup: SORRY for Shaking Off My Bad Habits (ft. Mariah Carey, Ed Sheeran and Beyoncé)

Made with Logic Pro at 132 bpm Title of this mix doesn't make much sense, but we managed to fit in the names of all 3 songs somehow. I'd been wanting to lay that percussion-less intro to Ed Sheeran's Bad Habits over something, and it was nice to finally get around to it. A simple yet effective blend overall; I like how this came out. Songs come from this playlist and this one .

dj mix/mashup: RISE for One More Night (ft. Fabolous & T-Pain's Baby Don't Go)

Made with Logic Pro at 98 bpm Credit for this one goes to the youtube algorithm - didn't know Rise was the sample used in Hypnotize until a week ago. But once I isolated the famous break and went through a couple playlists on djcheatsheet.com , it all came together fairly quickly. Especially after hearing Aphex Twin's Ageispolis and knowing right away they would sound good together. One of my favorite mashups in recent months. Especially the ending - feels good to finish strong.

Knock Like Us (Not Like Us mashup ft. Kendrick Lamar, GZA, Ini Kamoze and M83)

Made with Logic Pro at 101 bpm Quiet summer, but I had this in the back of my mind, and finally put something together. Wasn't as smooth a process as some other mixes/mashups ; tried to shoehorn in Kanye's Diamonds from Sierra Leone at the end (the beginning where Shirley Bassey sings 'diamonds are forever' ), but the backing instrumental was off-beat vs. the other songs, so we scrapped it. Wish I knew of a good way to fully isolate vocals from the beat in an individual song. Overall, I probably listened to this one too many times with headphones on. Started hearing how pitches in the different songs were a bit incompatible at times, but at a certain point you just say 'good enough.' Hopefully this is an interesting addition to the waves of Not Like Us mashups out there.
