We'll add it — the artist is already in the catalogue, so it lands fast
We scored every transition between Plaid’s 27 analysed tracks and every track by 12,460 other artists. 49 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.

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 Plaid 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 Plaid, 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: Even Spring into Cigarettes on the Roof, 11B to 11B, 89 chemistry.
Plaid sits closest to Ochre, Balil, Squarepusher in our catalog.
