The Process runs 125 BPM in B♭ minor (3A), a club-tempo techno record. Tonally it lands dark and driving. The groove is strong and floor-ready. 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. A 2011 production that still circulates in sets. More underground than 99% of Harvey McKay's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a mid-set roller.

How to mix it
In 3A at 125 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%: 117-133 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 10A rather than 3A; below -5% it reads as 8A. With key lock on, it stays 3A across the whole range.
Programming: a mid-set roller.
