6A → 5A · 7A · 6BFrom 6A, 7A (D minor) lifts the energy a step; 6B (B♭ major) brightens to the relative major; 5A (C minor) cools the energy down a step.
How to mix it
In 6A at 118 BPM: 7A (D minor) — move to 7A to push the floor harder; 6B (B♭ major) — switch to 6B for a mood change without losing the groove; 5A (C minor) — drop to 5A to bring the room down gently.
Pitch range at ±6%: 111-125 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 1A rather than 6A; below -5% it reads as 11A. With key lock on, it stays 6A across the whole range.
Programming: a floor-filler.
