    Scoring

    Rank by how they actually play

    A SOONOS score is not a vote or a like. It is a measured signal built from beatmatching, transitions, energy, structure and artistic intent.

    • Verified analysis

      Only mixes analyzed by SOONOS are eligible. No fake SoundCloud links, no guesswork.

    • Score breakdown

      Organizers see the overall score and the 5 category scores: artistic, execution, structure, energy and signature.

    • Shortlist, not sort by likes

      You can still listen to mixes, read messages and pick the right vibe — but the ranking starts from data.
