Find More Tracks Like This
I love this one track. Where are the other twenty?
The core digging loop: start from an anchor track and let similarity, artists, labels and DJs hand you the next lead.
The path
- Track
- Similarity search
- Artist
- Label
- DJ
- Set

Step by step
How to run it
Start with an anchor track
Pick one record that does exactly what you want a section of your set to do.
Save five promising results
Do not judge yet. Volume first, filtering later.
Inspect the artists
Open each artist page and skim their last three releases.
Inspect the labels
A label that released one track you like has probably released four more.
Search those labels on Bandcamp
Follow the label, wishlist anything close, buy the ones that survive a second listen.
Find DJs playing those tracks
Search the track on a tracklist database to see whose sets it lands in.
Investigate those DJs' sets
Their neighbouring track IDs are pre-filtered by someone with taste.
Dump everything into an Inbox crate
No decisions during the dig. Decisions kill momentum.
Review the crate later
Listen on headphones a day later and cut ruthlessly.
