DropMix comes with 60 cards to get your adventure into card-based DJ-ing started. Part of the game’s magic is that everything seemingly mixes together perfect. That said, I definitely have a few go-to cards that I use heavily in my mixes.

This list only covers cards in the base game. I own a few expansions as well, so maybe I’ll spotlight those at some point as well!

Imagine Dragons – “Radioactive” – Drums

The breakout hit for Imagine Dragons features a mid-tempo drum beat featuring a heavily distorted kick and an almost hydraulic snare. It’s so minimalist that it works for almost anything. It sounds natural at a slower pace, while adding extra thump to a faster track.

Ed Sheeran – “Sing” – Vocals

Of the different “instrument” types, it feels like vocals is the area in which the game needs the most help. Ed Sheeran’s “Sing” is a go-to partially cause your options on this front are pretty thin. That said, it’s a great vocal performance that has a catchy hook and a sing-songy verse that can fit over a lot of songs.

The Weeknd – “Can’t Feel My Face” – Bass

The bass guitar is the driving force behind The Weeknd’s smash hit. Pulsing in-and-out of the track, it provides a steady groove that fits on many different tracks.

Afrojack ft. Eva Simons – “Take Over Control” – Synth

Squealing onto this list is the synth line that appears during the chorus of “Take Over Control” by Afrojack ft. Eva Simons. As a synth line, its sharp frequency cuts through to stand out in any mix. Melodically, it’s also simple enough to fit over many different mixes as an accent piece.

Bruno Mars – “24K Magic” – Wild

Wild cards in DropMix can be a mixed bag. Some wild cards suffer from being great when taken as a whole, but their individual components don’t hold up well when mixed with other instruments. Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” has four great parts that can all exist as separate pieces.
