Cry: very fast drum n bass, E♭ minor (2A), 170 BPM. The feel is punchy, neutral in mood. It is vocal-led. The master is loud and heavily compressed. A 2016 production that still circulates in sets. More underground than 99% of Sigma's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a high-intensity peak cut.

How to mix it
In 2A at 170 BPM: 3A (B♭ minor) — move to 3A to push the floor harder; 2B (F♯ major) — switch to 2B for a mood change without losing the groove; 1A (A♭ minor) — drop to 1A 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 9A rather than 2A; below -5% it reads as 7A. With key lock on, it stays 2A across the whole range.
