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 Gandalf 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 Gandalf, then check the chemistry on the pair you actually mix.

We scored every transition between Gandalf's 11 analysed tracks and every track by 12,460 other artists. 89 catalogues clear the bar by more than chance would give, and DJ Q, Mikey B, Murder He Wrote are three of them — listed alphabetically, because the set is reproducible and the order inside it is not. A transition counts at 80 chemistry or above, the same number shown on a track page. One measured example: One Plus One into Count Down, 2A to 2A, 93 chemistry.
Gandalf sits closest to Medwyn Goodall, Music Emporium, 2002 in our catalog. That ranking is audience overlap — the artists their listeners also play — rather than a measured key-and-tempo match, so treat it as a shortlist worth digging through, not a promise that any two tracks will beatmatch.
