Key, BPM and audio features: model-based audio analysis · how we measure · catalogue updated July 2026
Monopterus runs 124 BPM in B minor (10A), a club-tempo techno record. Tonally it lands dark and driving. Rhythmically it is built for the dancefloor. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. Its spectrum is weighted to the sub and kick, with a heavy low end. A 2016 production that still circulates in sets. More underground than 99% of Julian Wassermann's catalogue. In a set it works best as a floor-filler.

How to mix it
In 10A at 124 BPM: 11A (F♯ minor) — move to 11A to push the floor harder; 10B (D major) — switch to 10B for a mood change without losing the groove; 9A (E minor) — drop to 9A 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 5A rather than 10A; below -5% it reads as 3A. With key lock on, it stays 10A across the whole range.
Programming: a floor-filler.
