DJ - Fast Riddims/songs 110-160 bpm ?

[Q Mastah]

Hey,
With all those new fast riddims (clappas, coolie dance, sign...) it's kindof hard to make smooth transitions. What do you guys do to jump from slower riddims. Is there any good transition songs/riddims?

anything with a vocal lead in..?

160 bpm translates easily to 80 bpm. Just look for some slow reggae tunes like alot of Bob Marley stuff. You should be able to mix "Buffalo Soldier" with "Give It To Me Baby".....not that you should though.

I'm not too much into that kind of mix hehe. I was more thinking of some kindof interlude that would increase the intensity ya know?

when i am speeding up to those riddims i usually bring in the version first, lay some samples over it or hype up the crowd on the mic, all the while increasing the tempo every measure or so- the crowd kind of vibes off this cause as the version gets a little faster it builds a vibe.
