Zanzibar runs 122 BPM in E♭ major (5B), a club-tempo techno record. The feel is dark and driving. The groove is strong and floor-ready. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. Its spectrum is centred in the low-mids, warm and bass-forward. The master keeps unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 12 dB). More underground than 99% of Tal Fussman's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a floor-filler.

How to mix it
In 5B at 122 BPM: 6B (B♭ major) — move to 6B to push the floor harder; 5A (C minor) — switch to 5A for a mood change without losing the groove; 4B (A♭ major) — drop to 4B to bring the room down gently.
Pitch range at ±6%: 115-129 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 12B rather than 5B; below -5% it reads as 10B. With key lock on, it stays 5B across the whole range.
Programming: a floor-filler.
