A very fast ambient cut, Infected sits in F minor (4A) at 170 BPM. Tonally it lands brooding and low-slung. It leans atmospheric over strictly danceable. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. Its spectrum is weighted to the sub and kick, with a heavy low end. The master keeps real dynamic headroom. The master keeps unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 15 dB). Less groove-driven than 97% of Apparat's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a warm-up or breakdown cut.

How to mix it
In 4A at 170 BPM: 5A (C minor) — move to 5A to push the floor harder; 4B (A♭ major) — switch to 4B for a mood change without losing the groove; 3A (B♭ minor) — drop to 3A to bring the room down gently.
Pitch range at ±6%: 160-180 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 11A rather than 4A; below -5% it reads as 9A. With key lock on, it stays 4A across the whole range.
Programming: a warm-up or breakdown cut — early set or after a peak to reset the room.
