Key, BPM and audio features: model-based audio analysis · how we measure · catalogue updated July 2026

Global Illumination: driving up-tempo progressive trance, G major (9B), 135 BPM. Tonally it lands brooding and low-slung. It leans atmospheric over strictly danceable. 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. The master keeps unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 17 dB). A 2008 production that still circulates in sets. Calmer than 99% of Liquid Soul's catalogue. In a set it works best as a warm-up or breakdown cut.

less groove-driven than 99% of Liquid Soul's catalogue
Low end:
more bass-heavy than 96% of Liquid Soul's catalogue
Tempo:
slower than 81% of Liquid Soul's catalogue

How to mix it

In 9B at 135 BPM: 10B (D major) — move to 10B to push the floor harder; 9A (E minor) — switch to 9A for a mood change without losing the groove; 8B (C major) — drop to 8B to bring the room down gently.

Pitch range at ±6%: 127-143 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 4B rather than 9B; below -5% it reads as 2B. With key lock on, it stays 9B across the whole range.

Programming: a warm-up or breakdown cut — early set or after a peak to reset the room.
