Mama Was A Drummer: club-tempo techno, G major (9B), 126 BPM. Tonally it lands bright and euphoric. The groove is strong and floor-ready. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. Its spectrum is weighted to the sub and kick, with a heavy low end. The master keeps unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 11 dB). A 2013 production that still circulates in sets. Brighter than 94% of Andres Campo's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a peak-time weapon.

How to mix it
In 9B at 126 BPM: 10B (D major) — move to 10B to push the floor harder; 9A (E minor) — switch to 9A for a mood change without losing the groove; 8B (C major) — drop to 8B to bring the room down gently.
Pitch range at ±6%: 118-134 BPM — anything in that window beatmatches without sounding stretched.
Key on the fader: without key lock (Master Tempo on CDJs), above roughly +5% it plays a semitone higher, so treat it as 4B rather than 9B; below -5% it reads as 2B. With key lock on, it stays 9B across the whole range.
Programming: a peak-time weapon — save it for the main stretch (energy 93/100).
