How it works
Five steps from empty crate to finished set.
AFROFLOW replaces the spreadsheet, the BPM lookup, the key database and the sticky notes with one guided workflow.
The workflow
Discover → Build → Mix → Practice → Play
00
Discover
Search a catalogue built for mixing — BPM, key, Camelot, energy and genre on every track — and save what fits into crates.
01
Build
Choose genre, crowd, duration, energy, mood and era — AFROFLOW sequences the set around them.
02
Mix
BPM, key, Camelot, energy, phrase structure, cue points and transition compatibility are analysed for every pair.
03
Practice
Rehearse a single transition — track A out, track B in — instead of playing the whole set.
04
Play
Performance Mode and Booth Mode show what's playing, what's next, when to mix and how to mix it.
What you get
Data you can act on.
Tempo flow
BPM deltas between neighbouring tracks, so nothing jumps unless you want it to.
Harmonic distance
Camelot positions and key relationships flagged before the blend, not during it.
Energy curve
A visible arc across the set, from warm-up through peak to finale.
