Public mix analysis — no affiliation or endorsement. This report measures a publicly available recording hosted on soundcloud.com. The scores are produced by SOONOS and do not imply any partnership with, or approval by, Tchami.
In short
Tchami - Essential Mix by Tchami scores 86/100 in the SOONOS analysis (festival ready). The strongest dimension is IDENTITY (93/100) and the weakest is SURPRISE (82/100).
This mix demonstrates how technical perfection can be used as a tool for storytelling rather than just a display of skill.
Key takeaways
What weakened the set
- Long static loops (6×) — Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (8:30, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00, 26:00, 30:00). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.
What to try next
- Continue to leverage the unique 'Future House' sound to maintain a strong artistic signature.
- Experiment with longer, more atmospheric breakdowns to create greater contrast with the high-energy drops.
- Ensure that vocal elements are always given enough space in the mix to avoid mid-range clutter.
- Use more dramatic filter sweeps to build tension.
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.
Smooth transition from the intro montage into the first track.
Surgical EQ work ensures no low-end muddiness.
Seamless integration of the incoming bassline while maintaining vocal clarity.
High-energy transition that maintains momentum through a sharp percussion change.
Perfectly executed blend where the incoming bassline takes over exactly on the phrase change.
High-impact transition that uses a vocal sample to bridge the two tracks effectively.

How the score breaks down
SOONOS scores this set across 5 weighted categories. The strongest is IDENTITY at 93/100; the weakest is SURPRISE at 82/100.
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 53 points, moving between 10 and 95 on the SOONOS energy scale — a wide dynamic range across the set.
6 transitions were detected and scored individually.
Beat-grid measurement (DSP) reports 568.8 grid breaks per hour, with a median beat offset of 20 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.

- What score does Tchami's Tchami - Essential Mix get?
- Tchami - Essential Mix scores 86/100 in the SOONOS Mix Database (festival ready), based on audio measurement plus multi-agent listening.
- How long is Tchami - Essential Mix?
- The analysed recording runs 1h 59m.
- Which part of the mix scores best?
- IDENTITY is the strongest category at 93/100, while SURPRISE is the lowest at 82/100.
- 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.
