    In short

    SPFDJ with Clara Cuvé - 08 October 2019 by Clara Cuvé scores 85/100 in the SOONOS analysis (festival ready). The strongest dimension is IDENTITY (93/100) and the weakest is SURPRISE (81/100).

    This mix demonstrates how to maintain extreme tension without losing the groove.

    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× (08:45, 29:45).
    • Long static loops (6×) — Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (14:00, 20:00, 30:00, 36:00, 44:00, 72:00). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.

    What to try next

    • Experiment with brief atmospheric breakdowns to create more dynamic range.
    • Incorporate more varied mid-range textures to further distinguish the narrative chapters.
    • Maintain the current level of technical precision; it is a significant strength.
    • Incorporate more dramatic breakdowns to enhance tension.

    About this hard techno set

    SPFDJ with Clara Cuvé - 08 October 2019 is a hard techno DJ set by Clara Cuvé, running 2h 00m. It was measured by the SOONOS multi-agent engine and scores 85/100 overall — festival ready.

    The engine files this performance as “Promising”.

    This mix demonstrates how to maintain extreme tension without losing the groove.

    How the score breaks down

    SOONOS scores this set across 5 weighted categories. The strongest is IDENTITY at 93/100; the weakest is SURPRISE at 81/100.

    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 35 points, moving between 70 and 95 on the SOONOS energy scale — a moderate dynamic range across the set.

    6 transitions were detected and scored individually.

    Beat-grid measurement (DSP) reports 784.4 grid breaks per hour, with a median beat offset of 20 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.
