Eight BPM separate the slowest cut here from the fastest: from the 120 of 'Aint Nobody 2024' to the 128 of 'Fake ID'. In practice almost everything lives between 124 and 126, so tempo is never the issue — the set gets decided by keys and by knowing when to fire the one real gear change in the pack.
The warm-up material sits at the bottom of the range: 'Aint Nobody 2024' (120, B-flat minor) and either 'La La Disco' or Softmal's remix of 'Get Funky', both at 122 in F minor, build heat without rushing things. From there, F minor is the compilation's highway: six cuts share the key — 'Freakin', 'Hit the Disco', 'High Energy' and 'Deeper Down' among them — enough for half an hour of harmonic mixing without touching the pitch fader. G minor offers another six-track chain, with 'Dancin' and 'Flawless (Cheesecake Boys VIP Mix)' as obvious stops.
'Fake ID', the peak-time card
The turn comes with Tom & Mikey's 'Fake ID': 128 BPM, C major and the only tech house cut in the selection. Saving it for the peak makes double sense: it is the fastest track and it breaks the funky texture of everything around it. 'Dont Go', at 127, works as the ramp. Length-wise there are tools of both kinds: 'Manana' is done in 3:29, while the 'Tribute Mix' of 'Like a King' stretches to 6:51 for longer passages.
The name holding the whole thing together is Crazibiza, credited on twelve of the thirty-six cuts across originals, edits and remixes. Active since 2010, with over 400 releases and remixes on labels such as Defected, Hed Kandi and Ministry of Sound — plus twelve number ones on Beatport's house chart — the duo sets the sound standard here: vocal funky house, direct, built for the floor. With that anchor and two long harmonic chains, the record bag practically packs itself.
