Other versions

At 118 BPM in A minor (8A), Belle is a mid-tempo progressive house production. Tonally it lands dark and driving. The groove is strong and floor-ready. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. Its spectrum is centred in the low-mids, warm and bass-forward. The master keeps unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 16 dB). A 2017 production that still circulates in sets. More treble-tilted than 99% of Marsh's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a floor-filler.

How to mix it

In 8A at 118 BPM: 9A (E minor) — move to 9A to push the floor harder; 8B (C major) — switch to 8B for a mood change without losing the groove; 7A (D minor) — drop to 7A to bring the room down gently.

Pitch range at ±6%: 111-125 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 3A rather than 8A; below -5% it reads as 1A. With key lock on, it stays 8A across the whole range.

Programming: a floor-filler.
