This or That runs 125 BPM in B major (1B), a club-tempo tech house record. Tonally it lands punchy, neutral in mood. 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 unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 12 dB). Better known than 87% of Plastic Robots's catalogue. In a set it works best as a floor-filler.

Mixes harmonically
1B → 12B · 2B · 1AFrom 1B, 2B (F♯ major) lifts the energy a step; 1A (A♭ minor) settles into the relative minor; 12B (E major) cools the energy down a step.
How to mix it
In 1B at 125 BPM: 2B (F♯ major) — move to 2B to push the floor harder; 1A (A♭ minor) — switch to 1A for a mood change without losing the groove; 12B (E major) — drop to 12B to bring the room down gently.
Pitch range at ±6%: 117-133 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 8B rather than 1B; below -5% it reads as 6B. With key lock on, it stays 1B across the whole range.
Programming: a floor-filler.
