Artists that mix with Deft

We scored every transition between Deft’s 36 analysed tracks and every track by 12,460 other artists. 581 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.
