    In short

    DJ Mix Number 05 by Boris Brejcha scores 69/100 in the SOONOS analysis (developing). The strongest dimension is TECHNIQUE (81/100) and the weakest is SURPRISE (65/100).

    The engine files this performance as “Promising”.

    Key takeaways

    What weakened the set

    • Recurring mid-frequency clash (2×) — Mid-range buildup muddies the soundstage and washes out vocals/synths during transitions. Detected 2× (07:45, 30:15).
    • Long static loops (6×) — Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (20:00, 60:00, 66:45, 72:00, 88:45, 96:00). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.

    Timestamped insights

    Each moment below is tagged with how it was produced: “measured” comes from the DSP pass on the audio, “listening” comes from the multi-agent listening pass.

    • 03:12Measured (DSP)85/100Listen at 03:12

      Smooth transition, perfectly phrase-aligned with no audible drift.

    • 07:45Measured (DSP)78/100Listen at 07:45

      Effective use of filtering to bridge two tracks with similar percussive energy.

    • 13:20Measured (DSP)85/100Listen at 13:20

      Smooth transition with excellent frequency management.

    • 18:45Measured (DSP)82/100Listen at 18:45

      Precise timing on the low-end handover.

    • 25:15Measured (DSP)90/100Listen at 25:15

      Excellent phrasing and frequency management; the tracks merge into a single groove.

    • 30:15Measured (DSP)75/100Listen at 30:15

      Slightly abrupt energy shift, though beatmatching remains tight.

    About this high tech minimal set

    DJ Mix Number 05 is a high tech minimal DJ set by Boris Brejcha, running 2h 00m. It was measured by the SOONOS multi-agent engine and scores 69/100 overall — developing.

    The engine files this performance as “Promising”.

    How the score breaks down

    SOONOS scores this set across 5 weighted categories. The strongest is TECHNIQUE at 81/100; the weakest is SURPRISE at 65/100.

    Analysis coverage for this file is 100% — the share of the set the engine could measure with full confidence.

    Energy and structure

    The energy curve was sampled at 40 points, moving between 60 and 85 on the SOONOS energy scale — a moderate dynamic range across the set.

    6 transitions were detected and scored individually.

    Beat-grid measurement (DSP) reports 179.0 grid breaks per hour, with a median beat offset of 28 ms.

    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.

    Questions about this analysis

    What score does Boris Brejcha's DJ Mix Number 05 get?
    DJ Mix Number 05 scores 69/100 in the SOONOS Mix Database (developing), based on audio measurement plus multi-agent listening.
    How long is DJ Mix Number 05?
    The analysed recording runs 2h 00m.
    Which part of the mix scores best?
    TECHNIQUE is the strongest category at 81/100, while SURPRISE is the lowest at 65/100.
    How is this score calculated?
    SOONOS measures the audio with a DSP pass (beat grid, loudness, tempo, energy) and runs a multi-agent listening pass on top. Measured axes always override the listening layer, so an execution issue heard in the file caps the final score.
