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 Hydro 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 Hydro, 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: Solace into Concrete, 6A to 5B, 91 chemistry.
Hydro sits closest to V14d, Yvl, I Am Music 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.
