Artists that mix with Pinch

We scored every transition between Pinch’s 33 analysed tracks and every track by 12,460 other artists. 196 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.
