Artists that mix with James Blake

We scored every transition between James Blake’s 10 analysed tracks and every track by 12,460 other artists. 1 catalogue clears the bar — a transition counts at 80 chemistry or above, the same number you’ll see on any track page. The 1 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.

Jon Gurd

13 of the 400 transitions between these catalogues reach 80 chemistry. Chance would give 2.3. They come from 4 different James Blake 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.
