Key, BPM and audio features: model-based audio analysis · how we measure · catalogue updated July 2026
Satellite: club-tempo tech house, D♭ major (3B), 123 BPM. The feel is 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 11 dB). A 2012 production that still circulates in sets. More underground than 99% of Rodriguez Jr.'s catalogue. For programming, treat it as a floor-filler.

How to mix it
In 3B at 123 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%: 116-130 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.
