In short
Objekt at Dekmantel Selectors 2019 by Objekt scores 88/100 in the SOONOS analysis (festival ready). The strongest dimension is IDENTITY (96/100) and the weakest is TECHNIQUE (84/100).
Objekt treats the mixer as an instrument, not just a tool for track changes.
Key takeaways
What weakened the set
- Long static loops (6×) — Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (20:00, 25:00, 31:00, 48:00, 54:00, 59:00). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.
What to try next
- Experiment with even longer tension phases using frequency isolation.
- Introduce subtle melodic motifs to add human warmth to the industrial soundscape.
- Consider a high-contrast breakdown to reset the listener's ear before major peaks.
- Maintain the current level of rhythmic complexity; it is a significant artistic strength.
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.
Masterful transition from the ambient vocal intro into the first rhythmic section. The EQ work is invisible.
The transition is felt rather than heard, as the groove shifts from broken to a more driving 4/4-adjacent feel.
Perfectly executed transition where the incoming track's percussion seamlessly replaces the outgoing one.
A more aggressive transition that briefly disrupts the flow but successfully resets the energy for the next track.
A masterfully executed transition where the new track's percussion slowly replaces the old, maintaining perfect phase.
Clean handover of the melodic/textural elements. The groove remains completely undisturbed.
About this experimental techno set
Objekt at Dekmantel Selectors 2019 is a experimental techno DJ set by Objekt, running 2h 28m. It was measured by the SOONOS multi-agent engine and scores 88/100 overall — festival ready.

Objekt treats the mixer as an instrument, not just a tool for track changes.
How the score breaks down
SOONOS scores this set across 5 weighted categories. The strongest is IDENTITY at 96/100; the weakest is TECHNIQUE at 84/100.
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 78 points, moving between 20 and 98 on the SOONOS energy scale — a wide dynamic range across the set.
6 transitions were detected and scored individually.
Beat-grid measurement (DSP) reports 901.8 grid breaks per hour, with a median beat offset of 25 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.

Transitions analysed (6)
Long textural blend with percussive introduction
Masterful transition from the ambient vocal intro into the first rhythmic section. The EQ work is invisible.
Subtractive EQ blend

Long EQ blend with low-end swap
Perfectly executed transition where the incoming track's percussion seamlessly replaces the outgoing one.
Quick cut with high-pass filter
A more aggressive transition that briefly disrupts the flow but successfully resets the energy for the next track.
Long EQ blend with high-pass filtering
A masterfully executed transition where the new track's percussion slowly replaces the old, maintaining perfect phase.
Mid-range swap on phrase boundary
Clean handover of the melodic/textural elements. The groove remains completely undisturbed.

Coaching notes
- Experiment with even longer tension phases using frequency isolation.
- Introduce subtle melodic motifs to add human warmth to the industrial soundscape.
- Consider a high-contrast breakdown to reset the listener's ear before major peaks.
- Maintain the current level of rhythmic complexity; it is a significant artistic strength.
- Experiment with brief melodic motifs to provide a counterpoint to the heavy percussion.
- Utilize more extreme filter sweeps to accentuate the transitions between rhythmic chapters.
- Maintain the current level of selection depth; it is the mix's greatest asset.
- Continue exploring the intersection of broken-beat and 4/4 techno.
- Maintain the surgical EQ precision during high-density percussive layers.
- Consider a brief melodic 'breather' to enhance the impact of the mechanical sections.
- Incorporate more melodic elements to broaden the emotional spectrum.
- Experiment with brief atmospheric resets to further accentuate the drops.
- Use more dramatic filter sweeps to create moments of extreme tension.
- Experiment with even more extreme rhythmic contrasts during peak moments.
- Consider a brief, high-tension atmospheric breakdown to reset the crowd's ears before the final track.
- Maintain the current level of technical precision, as it is a key differentiator.

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.

- What score does Objekt's Objekt at Dekmantel Selectors 2019 get?
- Objekt at Dekmantel Selectors 2019 scores 88/100 in the SOONOS Mix Database (festival ready), based on audio measurement plus multi-agent listening.
- How long is Objekt at Dekmantel Selectors 2019?
- The analysed recording runs 2h 28m.
- Which part of the mix scores best?
- IDENTITY is the strongest category at 96/100, while TECHNIQUE is the lowest at 84/100.
- 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.
