Rave runs 125 BPM in F minor (4A), a club-tempo techno record. Tonally it lands dark and driving. The groove is strong and floor-ready. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. A 2014 production that still circulates in sets. Slower than 85% of Sam Paganini's catalogue. In a set it works best as a peak-time weapon.

4A → 3A · 5A · 4BFrom 4A, 5A (C minor) lifts the energy a step; 4B (A♭ major) brightens to the relative major; 3A (B♭ minor) cools the energy down a step.
How to mix it
In 4A at 125 BPM: 5A (C minor) — move to 5A to push the floor harder; 4B (A♭ major) — switch to 4B for a mood change without losing the groove; 3A (B♭ minor) — drop to 3A 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 11A rather than 4A; below -5% it reads as 9A. With key lock on, it stays 4A across the whole range.
Programming: a peak-time weapon — save it for the main stretch (energy 81/100).
