Looking for pop songs around 135BPM
This might be a strange question as most people here hate pop and top40, but plowing through all the hitlists isn’t working for me so I’m hoping you guys might have some suggestions…
I’m looking for pop tracks in the 135BPM range as I’m trying to find some music to go with two tracks I currently play out a lot around that BPM. These are the tracks:
Anything between 132 and 138 is appreciated 
That should be a fairly easy task could check top 100 and find a few likely
That’s the problem, can’t really come by charts that have BPM set out, and the current top 100 doesn’t carry much of this right now…
Easy. 67-68 bpm
but but but
eurodance haha
Lady Gaga - Applause
Bruno Mars - Locked Out Of Heaven
Both those are more like 140 but can be nudged down into the mid 130s without being noticed too much.
Macklemore - Can’t Hold Us
A little trickier because it grids above 145, but no one would dance to it that fast. I’d take it down when it was out. I still use a bit of it at times - just the chant and chorus with a bit of rap (and never above 135).
Cupid Shuffle is still hugely popular in many of the clubs I DJ in - even with millennials. It’s also in the mid 140s but can be taken slower without any side effects.
Have you tried looking for remixes of the stuff?
Amy Winehouse - Rehab. I was going to throw that in a mix for fun, thinking it would be slower if anything, which would fit with my slower, deep house kinda stuff I like to mix. But nope, it’s in the low 140’s if I remember correctly. Might be too fast for ya.
There’s a lot more Pop music at the 140 - 160 range. It’s because the ‘jaunty’ double beat.
Current #1 download “All About That Bass” grids out at 134. There’s a lot of Britney Spears from a few years ago in this tempo range (Toxic, 3, Womanizer) and Rihanna (SOS).
Sean Paul’s classic “So Fine” is also in this range.
I’ve never used that particular RedFoo track but when “Feel This Moment” was hot I actually used the 128bpm Dark Intensity remix of it, and mixed it with stuff there rather than the more up things. It always sounded a little slow so I’d bump it up a bit.
I haven’t used it in ages, and I’m working clubs every weekend.
All about that bass would be a good fit for lots of tracks accurately considered that and some garage mixed would fit great with some acid lines
All about that bass is actually the latest addition to my sets. However, most is around 125-130 or way above 140. It makes it that much harder to do more than 2-3 tracks around the 135 mark. It is a genuine bitch to find tracks from. Halving the BPM is an option offcourse (Katy Perry’s Dark Horse for example) but it gives you an entirely different feel on the dancefloor than what Bring Out The Bottles does for example
Any comercial garge should be in about that tempo range, cant see the videos due to work.
