Six cuts in C minor spread across these 25 tracks, and that stat, trivial on paper, is gold behind the decks: it lets you chain half a set without leaving the harmonic lane. Cam Lasky's 'Ghost Dubbing' opens the batch at 88 BPM, a C minor halftime piece that works as a session intro more than a floor weapon; together with 'Invasion' (95) and the instrumental by Безымянный Папуас (93), it forms a small arsenal of openers and breathers that compilations of this kind rarely bother to include.
The useful bulk lives between 120 and 136. 'AI' and 'Out of Pieces' (both at 120) act as launch pads, 'Work (Street Mix)' by Black Light Smoke and Léah Lazonick brings the 124 groove in C major, and from there the climb is logical: 'Туса 2' at 128, the 'Jean Jacket' / 'The Journey' pair locked at 130 —D minor and C minor, a clean transition— and the 136 block with 'Cyanide', 'Burn Me Down' and 'Integrated'.
Peak time at 150
For the top end there are five pieces between 149 and 154: '30 Seconds' (C minor, almost seven minutes of runway), 'Return To Madhouse', 'Shine Bright' and 'Body Work' at 150, and 'Silver Water' at the 154 ceiling. Watch the G minor play: 'Shine Bright' and 'Silver Water' share a key, so the jump from 150 to 154 lands without harmonic friction. The wildcard is Shadow Recruit's 'Is There Are Problem Officer': twelve minutes at 110 BPM, a tempo reset tailor-made for rebuilding the room after the peak.
Nothing But, a label specialised in genre-sorted compilation series —from its tech house selections to its hard techno volumes—, signs one of its most versatile episodes here: not a record to play front to back, but a toolbox organised by tempo bands. It pays off most with C minor as the spine and the extremes, 88 and 154, as your doors in and out.
