A driving up-tempo psy trance cut, Dharma sits in D major (10B) at 140 BPM. It reads as dark and driving. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. The timbre leans dark. The master keeps unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 12 dB). A 2010 production that still circulates in sets. More treble-tilted than 83% of Astrix's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a peak-time weapon.

How to mix it

In 10B at 140 BPM: 11B (A major) — move to 11B to push the floor harder; 10A (B minor) — switch to 10A for a mood change without losing the groove; 9B (G major) — drop to 9B to bring the room down gently.

Pitch range at ±6%: 132-148 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 5B rather than 10B; below -5% it reads as 3B. With key lock on, it stays 10B across the whole range.

Programming: a peak-time weapon — save it for the main stretch (energy 88/100).
