Key, BPM and audio features: model-based audio analysis · how we measure · catalogue updated July 2026

A club-tempo progressive trance cut, 5AM sits in C minor (5A) at 124 BPM. Tonally it lands dark and driving. It leans atmospheric over strictly danceable. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. The master keeps unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 14 dB). Less groove-driven than 99% of Gardenstate's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a peak-time weapon.

How to mix it

In 5A at 124 BPM: 6A (G minor) — move to 6A to push the floor harder; 5B (E♭ major) — switch to 5B for a mood change without losing the groove; 4A (F minor) — drop to 4A 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 12A rather than 5A; below -5% it reads as 10A. With key lock on, it stays 5A across the whole range.

Programming: a peak-time weapon — save it for the main stretch (energy 85/100).
