Samba - Original Mix runs 125 BPM in G major (9B), a club-tempo house record. It reads as punchy, neutral in mood. Rhythmically it is built for the dancefloor. The mix is almost entirely instrumental. The master keeps real dynamic headroom. A 2015 production that still circulates in sets. More underground than 99% of Todd Terry's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a peak-time weapon.

How to mix it
In 9B at 125 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%: 117-133 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: a peak-time weapon — save it for the main stretch (energy 80/100).
