Methodology
An initial framework. This page will grow as each part goes live — nothing below is active yet.
Editorial recommendations
Our editors will propose connections between artists and write down the reasoning behind each one.
Community consensus
Listeners will be able to add perspective. Agreement across many people will be shown as community view, kept separate from editorial view.
Artist-submitted context
Artists may share context about their influences and peers. This informs, but does not control, editorial or community results.
External sources
Structured music information from open sources will be used for facts like releases and identities, and credited where used.
Relationship dimensions
A connection can rest on sound, scene, era, influence or shared collaborators. We'll say which dimensions apply rather than collapse them into one number.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we'll fix it and note the change. See the corrections page.
Last reviewed
Each recommendation will show when it was last reviewed by a person.
