A club-tempo techno cut, Psychonaut sits in B♭ minor (3A) at 124 BPM. Tonally it lands punchy, neutral in mood. Rhythmically it is built for the dancefloor. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. The master keeps unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 19 dB). A 2017 production that still circulates in sets. More treble-tilted than 98% of Harvey McKay's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a peak-time weapon.

How to mix it
In 3A at 124 BPM: 4A (F minor) — move to 4A to push the floor harder; 3B (D♭ major) — switch to 3B for a mood change without losing the groove; 2A (E♭ minor) — drop to 2A 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 10A rather than 3A; below -5% it reads as 8A. With key lock on, it stays 3A across the whole range.
Programming: a peak-time weapon — save it for the main stretch (energy 82/100).
