Trabant runs 123 BPM in D♭ minor (12A), a club-tempo tech house record. Tonally it lands dark and driving. Rhythmically it is built for the dancefloor. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. Its spectrum is weighted to the sub and kick, with a heavy low end. A 2016 production that still circulates in sets. More underground than 99% of Tim Engelhardt's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a floor-filler.

Key on the fader: without key lock (Master Tempo on CDJs), above roughly +5% it plays a semitone higher, so treat it as 7A rather than 12A; below -5% it reads as 5A. With key lock on, it stays 12A across the whole range.
