    The Pre Edit Remix of “Get Lucky” by Sgt. Slick is 124BPM and should be quick enough to keep the crowd pumped but still stay true to the original.

    Well, remixes of Daft Punk aside (I play the eSquire version a lot) it’s actually very easy to stick it in a set. There’s a ton of stuff, old and new, that hovers around the 116-120 bpm mark. I like to pitch Daft Punk up to 118 and then whack the bass line from Billie Jean over it towards the end and mix it in, and then go from Michael Jackson to that Robin Thicke track. The trick is to not be blinkered by genres and just go for good music around that bpm range. If you have to remain genre specific then I agree it could be a little more difficult.

    Ps: Next time you hear that Daft Punk record, during the vocodered chorus bit just check to see if they’re actually singing “a rubber Mexican monkey”.

    Thanks for the tips, I’ll check those mixes out. I was thinking of Billie Jean, too.

    Do you really have to play the original ?
    I’m sure there’s already plenty of different remix of Get Lucky that’s out already, pick one the one that suits you ?

    I like the original very much I have to say. I play some dance song in the 120s to 125s and simply use the looproll transition trick to bring in Get Lucky and use the fade out at the end of the song to bring in a break white noise sample with a double up delay to bring in any tempo song after it….
    There are tons of transition possibilities without having to beat match every song… especially if you play cross genre these are a must.

    Hey Terry_42, oh wise one, can you please explain some more about this:

    “use the fade out at the end of the song to bring in a break white noise sample with a double up delay to bring in any tempo song after it….”

    I’d like to use this method.

    Well I use a white noise sound (basically that shshsh sound) that I sampled into shsh pause shsh pause shsh pause and sync that to Get lucky. Then I bring in a Delay Effect on that (have to set to master out in Serato to make it work) so those sh sh double up and I turn up the volume of that at the end of Get Lucky so it overlaps the fade out. Right before Get Lucky is totally at its end I hit play on the next deck where I have the song cued to 1st beat in that song and have a bit of highpass filter running on that deck (I use the dedicated deck filter on my TM4), since the Delay is running still on master out it also effects the new song and the highpass when turned down makes it look like the new song is coming out of that whitenoise break. The trick then is to turn everything you have running down (the delay, the highpass filter and shut off the whitenoise), but you have that in 2-3 tries figured out.

    I hope that made sense 😉
