Other versions

Taste - Original Mix: club-tempo techno, G minor (6A), 125 BPM. Tonally it lands dark and driving. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. Its spectrum is weighted to the sub and kick, with a heavy low end. The master keeps unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 11 dB). A 2013 production that still circulates in sets. Hotter than 99% of Harvey McKay's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a peak-time weapon.

How to mix it

In 6A at 125 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%: 117-133 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 peak-time weapon — save it for the main stretch (energy 100/100).
