The first booth decision comes with 'Jandinga': Makrobeat and COBAH keep it at 94 BPM in Eb minor — room-opening material rather than packed-floor fuel, for that hour when the venue is still filling up. With 'Tropico' (104) and 'Dancing through the fire' (115) it completes the volume's on-ramp; the rest of the programme lives between 120 and 129 BPM, with the bulk locked into the 124-126 lane where funky house does its job.
The middle stretch comes with routes already mapped. 'Lumbra' — Incognet alongside Yvvan Back, the Padua-based producer who topped Beatport's tech house chart in 2021 with 'Beggin' — shares C minor and an exact 125 BPM with Dj Simsky's 'Abracadabra', the longest cut on the record (7:36): a clean splice with plenty of room to work the blend. In A minor, 'Love Is The Cure' (127) eases down into 'The Hustler' (124), and the G minor pair of 'Get Down Get Funky' and 'Stomp Feet', both at 124, holds nearly ten minutes of groove without touching the pitch fader.
F major, staircase to the peak
Peak time is written in F major: 'Shake & Bake' at 124, 'Make You Better' at 128 and '(I Know) I'm Enough' at 129 draw a coherent tonal climb, and the latter arrives as a 5:42 extended instrumental — a pure DJ tool for hanging acapellas on top or stretching a climax. 'Louder' (126) and the club mix of 'Listen To The Radio' (6:26) hold that same energy band with mileage to mix.
The short flank is the radio edits: 'Shopping' wraps up in 2:08 and 'Dancing through the fire' in 2:26 — ammunition for quick sets rather than long-blend material. The pedigreed exception is 'Love 2 Love' by DJ Skywalk and Lisa Lucius in the edit by Jay Frog, the German DJ and Scooter member: 2:57 in C major that leaves you wanting more. As a toolbox, this volume in Nothing But's series — a label that chains style-by-style house compilations — covers a whole night; the trick is knowing which drawer to open at which hour.
