A drum n bass cut, Follow the Light sits in G major (9B) at 174 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 is loud and heavily compressed. The master keeps unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 15 dB). A 2009 production that still circulates in sets. More underground than 99% of Sub Focus's catalogue. In a set it works best as an opener or closing-set piece.

How to mix it
In 9B at 174 BPM: 10B (D major) — move to 10B to push the floor harder; 9A (E minor) — switch to 9A for a mood change without losing the groove; 8B (C major) — drop to 8B to bring the room down gently.
Pitch range at ±6%: 164-184 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 4B rather than 9B; below -5% it reads as 2B. With key lock on, it stays 9B across the whole range.
Programming: an opener or closing-set piece.
