Keeping Up: club-tempo techno, E♭ minor (2A), 124 BPM. Tonally it lands punchy, neutral in mood. 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 unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 13 dB). A 2012 production that still circulates in sets. More underground than 99% of Marc Faenger's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a floor-filler.

How to mix it
In 2A at 124 BPM: 3A (B♭ minor) — move to 3A to push the floor harder; 2B (F♯ major) — switch to 2B for a mood change without losing the groove; 1A (A♭ minor) — drop to 1A 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 9A rather than 2A; below -5% it reads as 7A. With key lock on, it stays 2A across the whole range.
Programming: a floor-filler.
