Artists that mix with The Bug

We scored every transition between The Bug’s 13 analysed tracks and every track by 12,460 other artists. 2 catalogues clear the bar — a transition counts at 80 chemistry or above, the same number you’ll see on any track page. The 2 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.

Bicep

10 of the 455 transitions between these catalogues reach 80 chemistry. Chance would give 2.6. They come from 4 different The Bug tracks.

Jon Gurd

15 of the 520 transitions between these catalogues reach 80 chemistry. Chance would give 3.0. They come from 4 different The Bug 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.
