We'll add it — the artist is already in the catalogue, so it lands fast
We scored every transition between Surgeon’s 27 analysed tracks and every track by 12,460 other artists. 884 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.
107 of the 1,080 transitions between these catalogues reach 80 chemistry. Chance would give 6.2. They come from 18 different Surgeon 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 Surgeon 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 Surgeon, then check the chemistry on the pair you actually mix.

We scored every transition between Surgeon's 27 analysed tracks and every track by 12,460 other artists. 884 catalogues clear the bar by more than chance would give, and Inigo Kennedy, Linear System, Mattias Fridell 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: Crater 101 into Voyager, 8A to 7A, 91 chemistry.
Surgeon sits closest to Jeff Mills, James Ruskin, Regis 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. The full list, with track counts, is in the Related artists section above.
