Electro up around 140 this week. You might have heard that we're having a little civic event here in the United States of America, so I reached for something comfortable and easy to play... then got carried away.

Stanton QuickGrid is an audio file analysis program for Mac OS X and Windows distributed with the Stanton SCS.4DJ. It creates metadata files that contain things like the waveform graphic and beat grid indicators for use with the SCS.4DJ device. It's a program in two parts: djanalyze.exe which does the work of generating metadata for one audio file, and the graphical frontend (pictured above) which automates the process for many audio files. QuickGrid performs a similar function to, say, Rekordbox's analysis and export to USB.
It works in two stages. First you "analyze tracks" which creates and stores analysis metadata files for audio in a location you specify. Then you "prepare USB device" which crawls a USB drive looking for audio and copies over the relevant analysis metadata files, and also creates a file called hashes.dat on the USB drive which the SCS.4DJ reads to discover new data.
I have a problem with QuickGrid: I don't run either OS X or Windows. So I worked out what the graphical frontend is doing and how to drive djanalyze.exe using Wine. Then I wrote a shell script to automate the process. Some notes on what I found:
Electro and a little industrial rising from 110 to 120. A chance to get crunchy and noisy. This mix features one track with some profanity (thanks to Skinny Puppy) so consider your surroundings when listening.

Electro, sometimes smooth, sometimes noisy, leaning into IDM territory near the end. A similar selection to last week's program (I guess I wasn't done with that particular mood yet).

Electro all at ~128 BPM, the October mood. Features a few classics (Isolation, Think Like Us) as well as new tracks (Trichome's Thoth Lowrider). And: I finally cleaned the potentiometers in my DJ mixer.
