At 105 BPM in F♯ major (2B), Scorpions is a mid-tempo drum n bass production. It reads as dark and driving. The groove is loose and less beat-driven. It is vocal-led. Its spectrum is weighted to the sub and kick, with a heavy low end. The master is loud and heavily compressed. The master keeps unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 17 dB). A 2011 production that still circulates in sets. More underground than 99% of Nero's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a mid-set roller.

How to mix it

In 2B at 105 BPM: 3B (D♭ major) — move to 3B to push the floor harder; 2A (E♭ minor) — switch to 2A for a mood change without losing the groove; 1B (B major) — drop to 1B to bring the room down gently.

Pitch range at ±6%: 99-111 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 9B rather than 2B; below -5% it reads as 7B. With key lock on, it stays 2B across the whole range.

Programming: a mid-set roller.
