A38: peak-time tempo techno, D♭ minor (12A), 132 BPM. Tonally it lands dark and driving. 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 is squashed flat, built for loudness (crest 6 dB). Better known than 99% of Marco Ginelli's catalogue. In a set it works best as a floor-filler.

How to mix it
In 12A at 132 BPM: 1A (A♭ minor) — move to 1A to push the floor harder; 12B (E major) — switch to 12B for a mood change without losing the groove; 11A (F♯ minor) — drop to 11A to bring the room down gently.
Pitch range at ±6%: 124-140 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 7A rather than 12A; below -5% it reads as 5A. With key lock on, it stays 12A across the whole range.
Programming: a floor-filler.
