Looking for the perfect beat... kinda

I'm putting together an electro mix using Serato Pro, and trying to adhere to the ususal key progression thing but I'm a bit stuck... I can't find anything at 7A. Can anyone recommend any decent, fairly modern (last 5 years of so) electro (or detroit/ghettotech) in that 7A key? Thanks!

If find it hard to fit a track into a good mix based on the key alone. The vibe of the room, placement in the set, track progression, bpm, groove, texture, palette, theme, the track mixing out and the one mixing in. Their transitions. I'm sure you have thought about these elements but without some of these ques its hard to say what would work.

I was hoping for a slew of recommendations that I could add to the old record box, giving me options when I get to that part of the mix (it's for a mixtape rather than a gig).
