Frequently asked
What artists sound like Autechre?
The closest matches we measure are Aphex Twin, Björk, Flying Lotus. Artists are matched by how their catalogs actually move — average intensity, dynamic range, texture and shared mood — across 20 measured Autechre songs, not by genre label or chart adjacency.
Which song should I start with?
Aphex Twin: “MARCHROMT30a Edit 2b 96” (90% feel-match); Björk: “Thunderbolt” (75% feel-match); Flying Lotus: “Parisian Goldfish” (87% feel-match). Each is that artist's single closest track to the Autechre centre of gravity, so it's the least jarring way in.
How intense is Autechre overall?
Across 20 measured songs, Autechre averages 67/100 on our intensity scale. Individual songs vary — see the full catalog breakdown on their artist page.
How do you decide two artists are similar?
Every song is measured on 8 dimensions (intensity, dynamic range, tempo, sudden changes, texture, predictability, vocal force, fine sound detail). We compare an artist's catalogue centre of gravity to every other artist's, then weight shared mood tags. Matches cross genre and era, because the measurements don't know what genre is.
