Starboard Home: downtempo ambient, B♭ major (6B), 88 BPM. The groove is loose and less beat-driven. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. Its spectrum is centred in the low-mids, warm and bass-forward. The master keeps real dynamic headroom. A 2012 production that still circulates in sets. Slower than 76% of Jon Hopkins's catalogue. In a set it works best as a warm-up or breakdown cut.

How to mix it
In 6B at 88 BPM: 7B (F major) — move to 7B to push the floor harder; 6A (G minor) — switch to 6A for a mood change without losing the groove; 5B (E♭ major) — drop to 5B to bring the room down gently.
Pitch range at ±6%: 83-93 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 1B rather than 6B; below -5% it reads as 11B. With key lock on, it stays 6B across the whole range.
Programming: a warm-up or breakdown cut — early set or after a peak to reset the room.
