How to mix it
In 6A at 128 BPM: 7A (D minor) — move to 7A to push the floor harder; 6B (B♭ major) — switch to 6B for a mood change without losing the groove; 5A (C minor) — drop to 5A 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 1A rather than 6A; below -5% it reads as 11A. With key lock on, it stays 6A across the whole range.
Programming: a peak-time weapon — save it for the main stretch (energy 91/100).
