Chemistry
Chemistry is Mixgraph’s score for how well two tracks mix, from six weighted dimensions: harmonic key, tempo, energy, groove, mood and vocals. It rates the pair, not either track on its own.
Measured in our catalog
A chemistry score of 85 or better is rare by construction — 0.0917% of 2,999,426 randomly drawn cross-artist pairs reach it — which is what makes the number worth reading.
The scale is capped at 93, so a perfect 100 does not exist. 96,963 artist-to-artist pairings across 12,354 artists are published from the same scorer, and 5,622 transitions have been rated by DJs on top of it.

Why it matters
A single number is only useful if it is hard to earn. A scale where everything reads 90 tells you nothing, which is why the scoring is calibrated so that a high score is genuinely uncommon rather than generous.
It is a rating of a specific direction, too. Track A into track B is not always the same move as B into A — energy and key both have a direction of travel.
In Mixgraph
Every suggestion, every artist pairing and every transition in the Flow Builder carries a chemistry score and the reason behind it.
Frequently asked
What is a good chemistry score?+
Anything in the 80s is a strong pairing and 85+ is genuinely uncommon — only 0.0917% of random cross-artist pairs get there. The scale tops out at 93 rather than 100.
How is chemistry calculated?+
Six dimensions — harmonic key, tempo, energy, groove, mood and vocal compatibility — combined with fixed weights, adjusted for how closely the two genres relate, then rescaled so the printed number reads like a grade.
Why does the same pair sometimes appear in a different order?+
Because the printed score and the ordering are not the same quantity. The number shown is the pure pair score and is stable; the running order also accounts for context like popularity and where you are in a set.

Harmonic mixing
Harmonic mixing means choosing the next track by key as well as tempo — staying on the same Camelot code, moving one step around the wheel, or swapping between the major and minor of the same number.
Energy
Energy is a 0–100 reading of how hard a track hits, taken from loudness, spectral drive and percussive weight. It is the dimension that decides where in a set a track belongs rather than what it mixes with.
Texture
Texture is the tone of a track rather than its rhythm — how bright, how warm, how bass-heavy, how percussive. Two tracks can agree on key and tempo and still clash on texture.
