Key, BPM and audio features: model-based audio analysis · how we measure · catalogue updated July 2026
A very fast drum n bass cut, Snapshots 3 sits in A major (11B) at 170 BPM. Tonally it lands punchy, neutral in mood. The groove is loose and less beat-driven. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. The master keeps unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 14 dB). A 2002 production that still circulates in sets. More underground than 99% of Roni Size's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a high-intensity peak cut.

How to mix it
In 11B at 170 BPM: 12B (E major) — move to 12B to push the floor harder; 11A (F♯ minor) — switch to 11A for a mood change without losing the groove; 10B (D major) — drop to 10B to bring the room down gently.
Pitch range at ±6%: 160-180 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 6B rather than 11B; below -5% it reads as 4B. With key lock on, it stays 11B across the whole range.
Programming: a high-intensity peak cut.
