About MixID

MixID is a tracklist identifier for DJ sets. Drop in a YouTube link and it returns every track it can recognise across the timeline, with the BPM, key, and label for each one — ready to crate-dig.

How it's different from Shazam

Shazam tells you what song is playing right now. A DJ set is a different beast — twelve to twenty tracks, often layered, often pitched, transitioning every few minutes over a sixty- or ninety-minute set. MixID is built for that: it walks the whole mix, matches the audio against millions of electronic tracks, and returns the tracklist with timestamps, not a single song. It tries several pitch offsets too — DJs routinely play tracks a few percent faster or slower, and a strict equal-pitch match would miss them.

Behind the scenes

We chunk the audio into overlapping windows, fingerprint each one, and match against our catalogue. When the match is confident, you see the track; when it isn't, the segment stays unidentified rather than guessing — the goal is a tracklist you can trust, not one you can't. Most matches today come from drum and bass, house, techno, trance, dubstep, and other Beatport-listed genres; tracks outside that pool are simply absent from the catalogue and can't be identified yet. A typical sixty-minute mix takes a few minutes to process end-to-end.

Who builds it

MixID is built by Rekordcloud, a small team that builds tools for DJs. Our other products are:

• Lexicon DJ — a library manager used by tens of thousands of DJs to organise, clean up, and sync their collection across DJ apps.
• OpenKeyScan — a free tool that detects the musical key of a track, accurate enough to stand in for the paid options DJs and producers normally reach for.
• SonoVault — a music metadata API for developers building DJ and music apps, with track info like tempo, key, and chart data available without the usual licensing paperwork.

Where it's going

MixID is in closed beta today. We're expanding the catalogue so more genres can be reliably identified, sharpening accuracy on tricky transitions, and adding ways for DJs to keep, share, and crate-dig from the tracklists they generate.
