Howl at the Moon (Mix Cut) - Solarstone Retouch: driving up-tempo trance, B♭ minor (3A), 138 BPM. Tonally it lands dark and driving. 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 2013 production that still circulates in sets. Less groove-driven than 84% of Solarstone's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a peak-time weapon.

How to mix it

In 3A at 138 BPM: 4A (F minor) — move to 4A to push the floor harder; 3B (D♭ major) — switch to 3B for a mood change without losing the groove; 2A (E♭ minor) — drop to 2A to bring the room down gently.

Pitch range at ±6%: 130-146 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 10A rather than 3A; below -5% it reads as 8A. With key lock on, it stays 3A across the whole range.

Programming: a peak-time weapon — save it for the main stretch (energy 92/100).
