Rocking the crowd with EDM music is fun and all, but sometimes in a set you would want to squeeze in some variety into a mix.

One way to do that is to switch genres and play hip hop music. Doing this can really affect the dance floor and spice things up.

Switching genres may sound like a daunting task, but don’t worry. It’s pretty easy. It just involves very basic mixing.

► SCRIPT:

EDM songs mostly range from 120 to 130 BPM, therefore in order to mix a hip hop song and not have that hip hop song sound like a chipmunk we should use hip hop songs that are slower in beat and hence range from 60 to 65 BPM..

130 divided by 2 is 65, and 65 times 2 is 130. So these two songs of different genres will mix in perfectly.

Here’s how to do it:

Load up your EDM song and adjust the BPM of your hip hop song to be the same with your EDM song. In our case my EDM song is 130 BPM, and so my hip hop song should be 65.

It’s currently at 62.5, and so we’ll adjust it to 65 to match 130.

Now Once you reach the outro section of your EDM song, this will be the part where you mix in your hip hop song.

To make your mix smoother, I suggest first removing the low frequencies of your EDM song, and do a gradual increase of echo, while at the same time lowering the volume of the EDM song playing.


To go back to EDM from your hip hop song, do the same thing but this time mix during the outro section of your hip hop song


So EDM songs ranging from 120 to 130 BPM, and hip hop songs ranging from 60 to 65 BPM are the magic numbers that makes mixing between hip hop and EDM easy.

Just remember to match your BPMS correctly, and adjust your mixing accordingly.
