Its: peak-time tempo techno, G minor (6A), 128 BPM. Tonally it lands dark and driving. Rhythmically it is built for the dancefloor. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. Its spectrum is weighted to the sub and kick, with a heavy low end. The master keeps real dynamic headroom. The master keeps unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 15 dB). A 2008 production that still circulates in sets. More treble-tilted than 75% of Ellen Allien's catalogue. In a set it works best as a mid-set roller.

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 mid-set roller.
