Key, BPM and audio features: model-based audio analysis · how we measure · catalogue updated July 2026
Axis: club-tempo techno, D♭ major (3B), 126 BPM. Tonally it lands dark and driving. It leans atmospheric over strictly danceable. 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 19 dB). A 2017 production that still circulates in sets. Less groove-driven than 94% of Radio Slave's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a peak-time weapon.

How to mix it
In 3B at 126 BPM: 4B (A♭ major) — move to 4B to push the floor harder; 3A (B♭ minor) — switch to 3A for a mood change without losing the groove; 2B (F♯ major) — drop to 2B to bring the room down gently.
Pitch range at ±6%: 118-134 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 10B rather than 3B; below -5% it reads as 8B. With key lock on, it stays 3B across the whole range.
Programming: a peak-time weapon — save it for the main stretch (energy 76/100).
