Key takeaways

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.

• 11:45Measured (DSP)64/100Listen at 11:45

  Strategic disruption

• 14:12Measured (DSP)85/100Listen at 14:12

  Sharp transition that matches the energy perfectly; no phase issues detected.

• 17:45Measured (DSP)68/100Listen at 17:45

  Mids feel slightly cluttered during the 4-bar overlap, causing a minor loss of vocal clarity.

• 22:10Measured (DSP)92/100Listen at 22:10

  Masterful execution of a high-impact switch that resets the groove without losing momentum.

• 25:12Measured (DSP)92/100Listen at 25:12

How the score breaks down

SOONOS scores this set across 5 weighted categories. The strongest is STORYTELLING at 81/100; the weakest is SURPRISE at 73/100.

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

8 transitions were detected and scored individually.

Beat-grid measurement (DSP) reports 698.2 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 Diplo's BBC World Cup Mix get?

BBC World Cup Mix scores 76/100 in the SOONOS Mix Database (solid), based on audio measurement plus multi-agent listening.

How long is BBC World Cup Mix?

The analysed recording runs 60 min.

Which part of the mix scores best?

STORYTELLING is the strongest category at 81/100, while SURPRISE is the lowest at 73/100.

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.
