We scored every transition between Burial’s 22 analysed tracks and every track by 12,460 other artists. 15 catalogues clear the bar — a transition counts at 80 chemistry or above, the same number you’ll see on any track page. The 8 with the widest margin over chance are below.
Chance is measured, not assumed: 0.573% of transitions between two randomly drawn tracks by different artists in this catalogue reach 80. Listed alphabetically — the set is reproducible, the order inside it is not.

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.
DJs and producers closest to Burial by audience overlap — the artists their listeners also play. It’s a taste signal, not a measured key-and-tempo match: good for shortlisting crates when you’re prepping a set around Burial, then check the chemistry on the pair you actually mix.

A transition counts at 80 chemistry or above, the same number shown on a track page. One measured example: Young Death into Xtal, 5B to 6B, 83 chemistry.
Burial sits closest to Burial & Four Tet, Burial & Four Tet & Thom Yorke, Kode9 in our catalog.
