We'll add it — the artist is already in the catalogue, so it lands fast
We scored every transition between Shoal’s 9 analysed tracks and every track by 12,460 other artists. 333 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.
32 of the 360 transitions between these catalogues reach 80 chemistry. Chance would give 2.1. They come from 5 different Shoal tracks.
39 of the 261 transitions between these catalogues reach 80 chemistry. Chance would give 1.5. They come from 6 different Shoal 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.
DJs and producers closest to Shoal 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 Shoal, then check the chemistry on the pair you actually mix.

We scored every transition between Shoal's 9 analysed tracks and every track by 12,460 other artists. 333 catalogues clear the bar by more than chance would give, and Cari Lekebusch, Jeroen Search, Lampe 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: Gerakan into Eyepoint, 10A to 10A, 93 chemistry.
Shoal sits closest to Forest On Stasys, Vardae, NTOGN 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.
