NRG - Radio Edit: peak-time tempo house, D♭ major (3B), 128 BPM. The feel is bright and euphoric. It is vocal-led. Spoken-word passages run through it. The master is loud and heavily compressed. A 2014 production that still circulates in sets. Less groove-driven than 89% of Armand Van Helden's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a peak-time weapon.

How to mix it
In 3B at 128 BPM: 4B (A♭ major) — move to 4B to push the floor harder; 3A (B♭ minor) — switch to 3A for a mood change without losing the groove; 2B (F♯ major) — drop to 2B to bring the room down gently.
Pitch range at ±6%: 120-136 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 10B rather than 3B; below -5% it reads as 8B. With key lock on, it stays 3B across the whole range.
Programming: a peak-time weapon — save it for the main stretch (energy 91/100).
