In short
Yellow Claw - #2 by Yellow Claw scores 72/100 in the SOONOS analysis (solid). The strongest dimension is IDENTITY (80/100) and the weakest is SURPRISE (72/100).
The DJ masters the art of the 'drop', but could benefit from mastering the 'journey' between them.
Key takeaways
What weakened the set
- Long static loops (3×) — Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (48:00, 54:00, 58:00). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.
What to try next
- Incorporate more dynamic breakdowns to create contrast.
- Experiment with harmonic mixing to add emotional depth.
- Vary the rhythmic patterns to avoid monotony in long segments.
- Use vocal hooks more strategically to build crowd connection.

Effective energy transfer, perfectly timed with the phrase.
Slight volume jump during the transition, but energy is maintained.
Strategic disruption
Intentional reset
Perfectly timed switch that maintains the trap groove while introducing new vocal elements.
High-impact transition that resets the energy for a massive bass drop.

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 Yellow Claw's Yellow Claw - #2 get?
- Yellow Claw - #2 scores 72/100 in the SOONOS Mix Database (solid), based on audio measurement plus multi-agent listening.
- How long is Yellow Claw - #2?

- Which part of the mix scores best?
- IDENTITY is the strongest category at 80/100, while SURPRISE is the lowest at 72/100.
- 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.
