In short
Yellow Claw Mixtape #13 by Yellow Claw scores 86/100 in the SOONOS analysis (festival ready). The strongest dimension is IDENTITY (92/100) and the weakest is TECHNIQUE (84/100).
The engine files this performance as “Promising”.
Key takeaways
What weakened the set
- Long static loops (3×) — Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (8:00, 13:00, 21:00). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.
What to try next
- Experiment with longer, more atmospheric breakdowns to increase the 'epic' feel of the drops.
- Incorporate more live-sounding percussion elements to add organic texture to the digital sound.
- Vary the transition techniques slightly more to avoid predictability in the fast-layering style.

Flawless energy handoff at the drop.
Perfectly timed energy swap that catches the listener off guard in a good way.
Smooth transition between two high-energy tracks, maintaining the vocal narrative.

Energy and structure
The energy curve was sampled at 12 points, moving between 40 and 96 on the SOONOS energy scale — a wide dynamic range across the set.
5 transitions were detected and scored individually.
Beat-grid measurement (DSP) reports 774.2 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 Yellow Claw's Yellow Claw Mixtape #13 get?
- Yellow Claw Mixtape #13 scores 86/100 in the SOONOS Mix Database (festival ready), based on audio measurement plus multi-agent listening.
- How long is Yellow Claw Mixtape #13?
- The analysed recording runs 45 min.
- Which part of the mix scores best?
- IDENTITY is the strongest category at 92/100, while TECHNIQUE is the lowest at 84/100.
