How Mixgraph Works

Mixgraph helps you choose better transitions by combining DJ fundamentals (BPM + key) with audio metrics (energy, mood, danceability) and real DJ feedback. You stay in control — Mixgraph suggests options, you choose what feels right.

01

Your current track is the anchor

Everything starts with the track you're playing (or the last track in your flow). Mixgraph reads the key details that matter for mixing:

  • BPM (tempo)
  • Camelot key (harmonic compatibility)
  • Energy (intensity)
  • Danceability (how “floor-friendly” it feels)
  • Mood / Valence (brighter vs darker feel)
  • Genre tags (to keep you in the pocket — or step out safely)

If anything is missing, Mixgraph still works — it just leans more on the signals that are available.

02

You set the intent

Mixing isn't one-size-fits-all. A “good” next track depends on what you're trying to do to the room.

That's why Mixgraph lets you choose an intent:

Maintain

Keep energy and vibe steady

Ramp Up

Increase intensity without breaking flow

Cool Down

Ease energy down smoothly

Surprise

Allow bolder moves and controlled curveballs

Intent doesn't force a result — it simply biases suggestions toward the kind of transition you're aiming for.

03

Mixgraph finds smart candidates (fast)

Rather than searching the entire library blindly, Mixgraph narrows down to a shortlist of tracks that are likely to work.

It looks for:

  • Compatible BPM ranges based on your intent
  • Compatible keys (if you want harmonic matching)
  • A suitable energy window
  • Genre pairings that are same / close / workable / risky

This keeps suggestions relevant and makes Live Mode feel instant.

04

Chemistry scoring is a weighted mix of signals

Each candidate gets a Chemistry score that reflects how likely it is to transition well. Chemistry is a weighted mix of signals that mirrors how DJs actually think when choosing the next track.

Harmonic

How well the keys match (Camelot wheel logic). Perfect matches score highest, but Mixgraph also supports tasteful key moves.

Rhythmic

How close the BPMs are — and how realistic the adjustment is for your selected intent.

Energy

Whether the energy change matches what you asked for (Maintain / Ramp Up / Cool Down / Surprise).

Context (the “feel” layer)

Context is how a transition feels, not just how it measures. A blend of:

  • Mood/valence (emotional direction)
  • Danceability (groove consistency)
  • Genre relationship (staying in pocket vs contrast)

Different intents weight these slightly differently — for example, “Maintain” tends to be stricter, while “Surprise” allows more contrast.

05

Risk levels help you mix with confidence

Not every great transition is “safe” — sometimes the best moments come from bold choices.

That's why Mixgraph also labels suggestions by risk:

Safe— smooth blend friendly
Moderate— needs technique or timing
Adventurous— higher risk, higher reward

This isn't judgement — it's context, so you can decide quickly in the moment.

06

Mixing notes explain how to land the transition

Alongside the score, Mixgraph can provide short, practical notes like:

  • Whether to long-blend or mix quickly
  • When to use a breakdown/FX to bridge a gap
  • Whether to expect a bigger energy or genre shift

These are designed to support learning (especially for beginners) without telling you how to DJ.

07

It improves with real DJ feedback

When DJs rate transitions, Mixgraph learns what works in practice and uses that signal to refine future suggestions over time.

This keeps Mixgraph grounded in:

  • Real sets
  • Real rooms
  • Real mixing behaviour

Flow Builder vs Live Mode

Flow Builder

Plan ahead. Build and save flows, explore different routes, and see Chemistry links across your set before you play.

Live Mode

React in real time. Choose your intent (Maintain / Ramp / Cool / Surprise) and get instant suggestions while you mix.

You stay in control

Mixgraph is designed to make your decisions clearer — not to replace them.

If you ever want to go off-script, you should. That's DJing.

Mixgraph just helps you get there faster.
