Key, BPM and audio features: model-based audio analysis · how we measure · catalogue updated July 2026
Guitar Hero: fast hard techno, B minor (10A), 154 BPM. Tonally it lands dark and driving. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. Spoken-word passages run through it. Its spectrum is weighted to the sub and kick, with a heavy low end. The master is loud and heavily compressed. The master is squashed flat, built for loudness (crest 7 dB). A 2010 production that still circulates in sets. More underground than 99% of O.B.I.'s catalogue. For programming, treat it as a high-intensity peak cut.

How to mix it
In 10A at 154 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%: 145-163 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 high-intensity peak cut.
