    In short

    MIX PEGBOARD NERDS by Pegboard Nerds scores 68/100 in the SOONOS analysis (developing). The strongest dimension is IDENTITY (81/100) and the weakest is SURPRISE (72/100).

    This DJ understands that in a festival setting, the 'silence' before a drop is as powerful as the drop itself.

    Key takeaways

    What worked

    • Exceptional energy management
    • Strong artistic identity
    • Precise technical execution

    What weakened the set

    • Recurring mid-frequency clash (3×) — Mid-range buildup muddies the soundstage and washes out vocals/synths during transitions. Detected 3× (5:30, 9:45, 18:45).
    • Long static loops (2×) — Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (14:00, 22:00). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.

    What to try next

    • Incorporate more dynamic range by utilizing filters to create 'breathing' moments in the mix.
    • Experiment with unexpected genre switches (e.g., a brief drum & bass section) to surprise the audience.
    • Focus on harmonic mixing during melodic breakdowns to enhance the emotional impact.

    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.

    • 2:15Measured (DSP)88/100Listen at 2:15

      Perfectly timed energy handoff, utilizing a riser to bridge the gap between tracks.

    • 5:30Measured (DSP)82/100Listen at 5:30

      Smooth transition between melodic sections, maintaining vocal clarity throughout.

    • 9:45Measured (DSP)75/100Listen at 9:45

      A very fast transition that slightly crowds the mid-frequencies for a few bars.

    • 13:12Measured (DSP)88/100Listen at 13:12

      Sharp transition that maintains the aggressive momentum perfectly.

    • 18:45Measured (DSP)85/100Listen at 18:45

      High-energy moment where two tracks are layered to create a massive wall of sound.

    About this electro house set

    MIX PEGBOARD NERDS is a electro house DJ set by Pegboard Nerds, running 1h 11m. It was measured by the SOONOS multi-agent engine and scores 68/100 overall — developing.

    The engine files this performance as “Promising”.

    This DJ understands that in a festival setting, the 'silence' before a drop is as powerful as the drop itself.

    How the score breaks down

    SOONOS scores this set across 5 weighted categories. The strongest is IDENTITY at 81/100; the weakest is SURPRISE at 72/100.

    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 13 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 890.2 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.
