    In short

    TALE OF US @ Kappa FuturFestival 2023 by Tale of Us scores 91/100 in the SOONOS analysis (reference level). The strongest dimension is IDENTITY (97/100) and the weakest is TECHNIQUE (81/100).

    This is how you use long blends to create a single, continuous piece of music rather than a sequence of tracks.

    Key takeaways

    What weakened the set

    • Long static loops (6×) — Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (4:00, 8:00, 14:00, 24:00, 30:00, 33:00). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.

    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.

    • 3:45Measured (DSP)95/100Listen at 3:45

      Perfectly executed transition where the new kick takes over without any phase issues.

    • 7:12Measured (DSP)92/100Listen at 7:12

      The keys of both tracks complement each other perfectly, creating a lush, layered sound.

    • 12:25Measured (DSP)96/100Listen at 12:25

      Incredibly smooth transition. The incoming bassline is introduced so subtly it feels like a natural evolution of the first track.

    • 17:08Measured (DSP)88/100Listen at 17:08

      Effective use of the breakdown to swap the core rhythmic elements. Minor level fluctuation but well-managed.

    • 21:04Measured (DSP)94/100Listen at 21:04

      Beautifully executed harmonic blend. The two tracks complement each other perfectly for several phrases before the swap.

    About this melodic techno set

    TALE OF US @ Kappa FuturFestival 2023 is a melodic techno DJ set by Tale of Us, running 1h 27m. It was measured by the SOONOS multi-agent engine and scores 91/100 overall — reference level.

    The engine files this performance as “Promising”.

    This is how you use long blends to create a single, continuous piece of music rather than a sequence of tracks.

    How the score breaks down

    SOONOS scores this set across 5 weighted categories. The strongest is IDENTITY at 97/100; the weakest is TECHNIQUE at 81/100.

    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 32 points, moving between 20 and 90 on the SOONOS energy scale — a wide dynamic range across the set.

    7 transitions were detected and scored individually.

    Beat-grid measurement (DSP) reports 649.1 grid breaks per hour, with a median beat offset of 26 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.

    IDENTITY is the strongest category at 97/100, while TECHNIQUE is the lowest at 81/100.
    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.
