In short
Joeski Live @ Stereobar Montreal Canada 05.13.23 Part 2 by Joeski scores 68/100 in the SOONOS analysis (developing). The strongest dimension is IDENTITY (88/100) and the weakest is SURPRISE (77/100).
Joeski demonstrates that true power in a club set comes from the space between the beats, not just the beats themselves.
Key takeaways
What weakened the set
- Long static loops (6×) — Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (14:00, 20:00, 46:00, 54:00, 62:00, 82:30). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.
What to try next
- Use short, dramatic filter cuts to create micro-tensions.
- Experiment with slightly more adventurous track selection to add a 'surprise' element.
- Incorporate more mid-range EQ play during long blends to highlight specific percussive elements.
- Experiment with more dramatic filter sweeps to create tension.

Very smooth transition that respects the groove continuity.
Effective layering that builds energy without a jarring shift.
Professional execution that maintains the hypnotic state.
A masterclass in transparency; the tracks merge into a single rhythmic entity.
Clean handover of the melodic elements, maintaining the energy floor.

How the score breaks down
SOONOS scores this set across 5 weighted categories. The strongest is IDENTITY at 88/100; the weakest is SURPRISE at 77/100.
The final score is capped by measured beatmatching: the DSP layer overrides the listening layer whenever it measures an execution issue directly in the audio.
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 63 points, moving between 30 and 88 on the SOONOS energy scale — a wide dynamic range across the set.
7 transitions were detected and scored individually.
Beat-grid measurement (DSP) reports 195.3 grid breaks per hour, with a median beat offset of 29 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.
On this set, the ceiling applied is measured beatmatching.
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.
