Key, BPM and audio features: model-based audio analysis · how we measure · catalogue updated July 2026
MBDC 1 runs 129 BPM in B minor (10A), a peak-time 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. The master keeps real dynamic headroom. A 2018 production that still circulates in sets. More underground than 99% of Mark Broom's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a peak-time weapon.

How to mix it
In 10A at 129 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%: 121-137 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 peak-time weapon — save it for the main stretch (energy 76/100).
