We'll add it — the artist is already in the catalogue, so it lands fast
We scored every transition between Shades’s 12 analysed tracks and every track by 12,460 other artists. 255 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 Shades 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 Shades, then check the chemistry on the pair you actually mix.

We scored every transition between Shades's 12 analysed tracks and every track by 12,460 other artists. 255 catalogues clear the bar by more than chance would give, and Alibi, Break, Calyx 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: Iron Sharpens Iron into Musihertz (feat. Sofi Mari), 8A to 7B, 86 chemistry.
Shades sits closest to Ivy Lab, Posij, Monuman 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.
