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.

• 5:45Measured (DSP)92/100Listen at 5:45

  Excellent execution. The transition is almost imperceptible, maintaining the hypnotic groove perfectly.

• 10:12Measured (DSP)84/100Listen at 10:12

  Smooth transition using high-pass filtering to clear space for the incoming track's kick.

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

  Smooth handover of the low end. The tracks share a similar percussive palette, making the transition almost invisible.

• 18:45Measured (DSP)78/100Listen at 18:45

  Clean transition, though the incoming track is slightly lower in volume initially.

How the score breaks down

SOONOS scores this set across 5 weighted categories. The strongest is TECHNIQUE at 82/100; the weakest is SURPRISE at 69/100.

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 57 points, moving between 60 and 88 on the SOONOS energy scale — a moderate dynamic range across the set.

6 transitions were detected and scored individually.

Beat-grid measurement (DSP) reports 389.0 grid breaks per hour, with a median beat offset of 23 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.

Which part of the mix scores best?

TECHNIQUE is the strongest category at 82/100, while SURPRISE is the lowest at 69/100.

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.
