Real Life: club-tempo house, G minor (6A), 124 BPM. Tonally it lands punchy, neutral in mood. It leans atmospheric over strictly danceable. It is vocal-led. A 2017 production that still circulates in sets. Less groove-driven than 94% of Duke Dumont's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a mid-set roller.

How to mix it
In 6A at 124 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%: 117-131 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 mid-set roller.
