What U Do: club-tempo tech house, D♭ major (3B), 120 BPM. The feel is bright and euphoric. The groove is strong and floor-ready. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. The master keeps unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 14 dB). A 2013 production that still circulates in sets. More underground than 99% of Rafael Cerato's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a mid-set roller.

How to mix it
In 3B at 120 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%: 113-127 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 mid-set roller.
