Workflow

Search by Sound

How do I find tracks that feel like this one?

Acoustic similarity ignores genre labels entirely, which is why it finds the obscure alternative you would never have searched for.

Step by step

How to run it

  1. Choose a precise anchor

    A track with a distinctive groove works better than a broadly popular one.

  2. Run the search

    Similarity engines index audio, not tags, so results cross genre lines.

  3. Search between two anchors

    If a tool supports it, the space between two tracks is where bridge tracks live.

  4. Chase the artist, not just the track

    One good result usually means a whole catalog worth checking.
