At 125 BPM in C minor (5A), Play is a club-tempo progressive house production. It reads as dark and driving. It leans atmospheric over strictly danceable. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. The master keeps unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 20 dB). A 2010 production that still circulates in sets. More treble-tilted than 99% of Kobana's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a mid-set roller.

How to mix it
In 5A at 125 BPM: 6A (G minor) — move to 6A to push the floor harder; 5B (E♭ major) — switch to 5B for a mood change without losing the groove; 4A (F minor) — drop to 4A 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 12A rather than 5A; below -5% it reads as 10A. With key lock on, it stays 5A across the whole range.
Programming: a mid-set roller.
