Artists that mix with Barker

10 of the 448 transitions between these catalogues reach 80 chemistry. Chance would give 2.6. They come from 7 different Barker tracks.

Chemistry weighs harmonic, rhythmic, energy, groove, mood and vocal compatibility. Tempos are as analysed from the recording — where a genre is habitually detected an octave down, this is how we handle it. Different measurement from the audience-overlap list further down the page.
