Funk Alive runs 116 BPM in A major (11B), a mid-tempo deep house record. Tonally it lands bright and euphoric. Rhythmically it is built for the dancefloor. Its spectrum is weighted to the sub and kick, with a heavy low end. The master keeps unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 12 dB). A 2017 production that still circulates in sets. Slower than 99% of Chris Stussy's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a floor-filler.

How to mix it
In 11B at 116 BPM: 12B (E major) — move to 12B to push the floor harder; 11A (F♯ minor) — switch to 11A for a mood change without losing the groove; 10B (D major) — drop to 10B to bring the room down gently.
Pitch range at ±6%: 109-123 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 6B rather than 11B; below -5% it reads as 4B. With key lock on, it stays 11B across the whole range.
