Bthelick Flips the Script: Jamback’s ‘Positive’ in Five Keys—Major Vibes, Minor Moves

Here’s where Bthelick drops some real talk: major keys in electronic music are rarer than a working cassette deck at a garage sale. He points out that if a track is labeled as major, there’s a 90% chance that’s just plain wrong. Minor keys dominate the scene, and he’s not afraid to ask why—what’s so scary about a little happiness in your house music?

He gets into the nitty-gritty of how note choices shape the vibe, not just the sounds themselves. It’s not just about swapping a sax for a piano; it’s about how the actual notes can make or break a track’s mood. Bthelick’s got that knack for making music theory feel less like homework and more like a late-night jam session with your crew.

Now for the meat and potatoes: Bthelick runs ‘Positive’ through five different scales—minor, major, Phrygian, Dorian, and Mixolydian. Each one brings its own flavor, from the classic minor moodiness to the rare major sunshine, and then onto the darker, spicier Phrygian. He even throws in some extra notes and chords for good measure, just to make sure you catch the difference.

What’s wild is how a single note swap can turn a track from moody to hopeful or from dark to straight-up funky. He doesn’t just talk about it—he plays each version so you can hear the shift for yourself. Some of these changes are subtle, others hit you like a cold can of cheap beer on a hot day. If you want the real sauce, you gotta watch the video and let your ears do the judging.

Bthelick isn’t just showing off—he genuinely wants to know how these key changes hit you. Does flipping from minor to major make you feel anything, or does it all just blend together after a few bars? He invites listeners to drop their thoughts in the comments, turning this video into a community jam session. Real talk: sometimes the best feedback comes from the crowd, not the stage.
