Other versions

A drum n bass cut, Yellow Shoes sits in B minor (10A) at 175 BPM. Tonally it lands punchy, neutral in mood. The groove is loose and less beat-driven. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. Its spectrum is weighted to the sub and kick, with a heavy low end. The master is loud and heavily compressed. A 2011 production that still circulates in sets. Less groove-driven than 96% of DJ Marky's catalogue. In a set it works best as an opener or closing-set piece.

How to mix it

In 10A at 175 BPM: 11A (F♯ minor) — move to 11A to push the floor harder; 10B (D major) — switch to 10B for a mood change without losing the groove; 9A (E minor) — drop to 9A to bring the room down gently.

Pitch range at ±6%: 164-186 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 5A rather than 10A; below -5% it reads as 3A. With key lock on, it stays 10A across the whole range.

Programming: an opener or closing-set piece.
