- Talk To The Handoriginal4B · 126
A club-tempo tech house cut, Talk to the Hand sits in A♭ major (4B) at 126 BPM. Tonally it lands dark and steady. The groove is strong and floor-ready. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. Its spectrum is weighted to the sub and kick, with a heavy low end. A 2010 production that still circulates in sets. More underground than 99% of Solomun's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a mid-set roller.

How to mix it
In 4B at 126 BPM: 5B (E♭ major) — move to 5B to push the floor harder; 4A (F minor) — switch to 4A for a mood change without losing the groove; 3B (D♭ major) — drop to 3B to bring the room down gently.
Pitch range at ±6%: 118-134 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 11B rather than 4B; below -5% it reads as 9B. With key lock on, it stays 4B across the whole range.
