Chapter 1 of 9: slow-groove tempo trance, F minor (4A), 95 BPM. It reads as dark and driving. It leans atmospheric over strictly danceable. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. The master is loud and heavily compressed. A 2015 production that still circulates in sets. Slower than 95% of Tiësto's catalogue. For programming, treat it as an opener or closing-set piece.

How to mix it
In 4A at 95 BPM: 5A (C minor) — move to 5A to push the floor harder; 4B (A♭ major) — switch to 4B for a mood change without losing the groove; 3A (B♭ minor) — drop to 3A to bring the room down gently.
Pitch range at ±6%: 89-101 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 11A rather than 4A; below -5% it reads as 9A. With key lock on, it stays 4A across the whole range.
