At 124 BPM in B minor (10A), Special is a club-tempo tech house production. The feel is bright and euphoric. 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. The master keeps unusual dynamic range for club music (crest 12 dB). A 2017 production that still circulates in sets. More underground than 99% of Wheats's catalogue. For programming, treat it as a peak-time weapon.

Mixes harmonically
10A → 9A · 11A · 10BFrom 10A, 11A (F♯ minor) lifts the energy a step; 10B (D major) brightens to the relative major; 9A (E minor) cools the energy down a step.
How to mix it
In 10A at 124 BPM: 11A (F♯ minor) — move to 11A to push the floor harder; 10B (D major) — switch to 10B for a mood change without losing the groove; 9A (E minor) — drop to 9A to bring the room down gently.
Pitch range at ±6%: 117-131 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 5A rather than 10A; below -5% it reads as 3A. With key lock on, it stays 10A across the whole range.
Programming: a peak-time weapon — save it for the main stretch (energy 100/100).
