Kramdown · 7th September 2010

I DJ on weekends and most of the best dance stuff is in the upper range of the 120s: Sexy Chick (David Guetta) I Gotta Feeling (BEPs) I'm In Miami Bitch (LMFAO) Hotel Room Service (Pitbull) Right Round (Flo Rida) Whine Up (Kat Deluna) I'm The Ish (DJ Class) ...

But there's great dance stuff between 80 and 90 too. Often these are 1/16 type beats. Drop It Low (Ester Dean) is 88 and is a go-to track that I can always count on to fill the dance floor.

Replay is another example at 90:
