Cape Fear - VIP runs 88 BPM in E minor (9A), a downtempo drum n bass record. Tonally it lands bright and euphoric. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. The master is loud and heavily compressed. The master keeps unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 17 dB). A 2016 production that still circulates in sets. More treble-tilted than 95% of Serum's catalogue. In a set it works best as a floor-filler.

In 9A at 88 BPM: 10A (B minor) — move to 10A to push the floor harder; 9B (G major) — switch to 9B for a mood change without losing the groove; 8A (A minor) — drop to 8A to bring the room down gently.
Pitch range at ±6%: 83-93 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 4A rather than 9A; below -5% it reads as 2A. With key lock on, it stays 9A across the whole range.
Programming: a floor-filler.
