Skenai v1.6.0 : proofs, tickets, and a night that re-reads everything

Every artist says why they are here

An announced night imposes its artists: they are proposed with no cap, but pass the same tests as everyone. On the page, one line lists the proofs the night found: their SoundCloud tags, their Last.fm tags, a label of the map, the drum & bass share of their Beatport catalogue, the library. With no proof of their own, an artist does not get in. And when the style is inferred from collaborators rather than from their own signals, the page says so. The Jungle pole is now called "Jungle & rollers".

An event page sells its tickets

Ticket tiers with their price and state (on sale, on sale soon, sold out), the promoter's links, the venue with its address and photo, and the Shotgun link when the night is also sold there. The agenda covers 201 countries on Resident Advisor, and Shotgun cities by genre.

Something new, right away

A track released in the last 30 days carries a "new" badge, the map has a filter to keep only those artists, and the Discover panel lists new tracks. The artist page gains their bio and public links (Instagram, Spotify, Bandcamp), and the most recent filmed set from an official channel. The SoundCloud cloud next to every follower count is a reminder that these are their SoundCloud followers, one part of their audience.

The night, phase by phase

"How it works" describes the night as it actually runs: collection, nights, analysis and gate, publication and check. Every account on the map is re-read every night, the other sources in rotation, and a freshness check raises an alert as soon as data goes stale. Organisations and labels have their video, agencies their logo, and lists sort.
