looking for a track with a bpm of around 144 to put in between in for the kill(skream mix) and africa (the others) thats kinda more unheard of but still fills the void...
any ideas?

Well both tracks are completely different so it doesn’t matter what you put in between them both.
Africa is a wobble track with loads of reverb on the top bit and In For The Kill Is a cheesy vocal pop song. They do not go together at all.

There is a million other jump up tracks like both of them so it should not be hard to find.
Check other tracks by the artists and also other stuff on the same label, Dub Police I think?
Try and keep tracks on the same vibe/feel and if you can keep an element from the previous track in the new one. That can be anything, same kind of bass patch or just some noises that sound the same.

RE the comment about the two tracks being too different to mix - surely that is the art of a DJ someone who can bridge between unlikely bedfellows?
Mind you having said that the La ROux thing is played out anyways

Any tracks can be mixed. I am not saying they dont go together cos it will be hard to mix or anything. The records have nothing in common and do not sound right together! part of building a set is the track selection/order! if you get it wrong you just sound like ur average bedroom DJ who is not even paying any attention to flow.

Didnt notice it was you - you know yer shiz
One of the great things about playing tho is when you can make two seeming diperate tracks segue by choosing the right one to bridge between them ...
but like I say I dont need to tell you - I know you got range serox
