Public mix analysis — no affiliation or endorsement. This report measures a publicly available recording hosted on soundcloud.com. The scores are produced by SOONOS and do not imply any partnership with, or approval by, Astrix.
In short
ASTRIX - OLD SET by Astrix scores 85/100 in the SOONOS analysis (festival ready). The strongest dimension is IDENTITY (91/100) and the weakest is SURPRISE (83/100).
This is how you maintain 140+ BPM energy without fatiguing the listener: through constant, subtle textural evolution.
Key takeaways
What weakened the set
- Long static loops (6×) — Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (22:00, 30:00, 38:30, 43:00, 54:00, 59:00). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.
What to try next
- Refine EQ management during transitions to avoid low-end clutter.
- Experiment with more complex build-ups to enhance tension.
- Incorporate more recognizable vocal stabs to engage the crowd.
- Explore darker or more melancholic undertones for emotional variety.

Perfectly executed transition from atmospheric intro to driving groove.
Smooth handover of rhythmic elements, maintaining high energy.
A solid transition, though the low-end overlap was slightly noticeable.
Perfectly timed transition that maximizes energy and impact.

Energy and structure
The energy curve was sampled at 36 points, moving between 75 and 95 on the SOONOS energy scale — a moderate dynamic range across the set.

How this score is built
Measured layer (DSP): the audio file is analysed directly — beat grid, tempo stability, loudness and energy. These values are measurements, not opinions.
Listening layer: a multi-agent pass reads musical intent — programming, storytelling, coherence and crowd effect. This layer interprets, it does not measure.
Fusion and ceilings: the two layers are merged, and the measured layer always wins on execution. When the DSP hears an execution problem, it caps the final score even if the listening layer is positive.
Measured coverage for this file is 100% of the set.

Methodology and limitations
This report is produced automatically from the published recording. It measures what is present in the audio file: a bad source encoding, a partial upload or a heavily processed broadcast version can change the measured values. Nothing here reflects the room, the crowd or the night itself.
