Find the tracks DJs play

CrateWire reads a DJ's public Instagram posts and runs each one through a detection waterfall: Instagram's own music metadata, the post caption, fan comments, and audio fingerprinting of the clip. Where more than one of those sources names the same track, they reinforce each other and the ID gets stronger.

One strong signal is enough to surface an ID: a music sticker, a clear caption, a clean fingerprint match, or the DJ's own reply. What isn't enough on its own is a single unverified fan comment guessing at a track; that needs a second voice agreeing, or the DJ confirming it. It's built to stop the wrong ID that spreads because one confident guess got treated as fact.

No. CrateWire only reads public Instagram content: the posts, captions, and comments anyone can already see. It never accesses private accounts or data.

Yes, you can preview results without an account. To access all CrateWire features, sign up and start a trial. Follow DJs, scan posts and mixsets, and save tracks within your trial's usage limits.

Yes. Give CrateWire a SoundCloud or YouTube link to a set, or upload the audio file, and it listens as far as your plan covers and returns each track it can name with the timestamp where it lands. Plans start with a 7-day Digger trial, Digger covers 6 hours of sets a month, and Crate and Vault scale up from there.

Paste any public Instagram DJ and CrateWire starts identifying the tracks in their posts. It then keeps checking automatically, so new IDs appear as they keep posting.

In DJ culture an “ID” is an unidentified or unreleased track, the one fans ask about when they comment “track ID?” under a clip. CrateWire is built to answer exactly that: it surfaces the most likely track behind each post so you don't have to wait for a manual reply.

Accuracy depends on the evidence a post leaves behind. When Instagram's music sticker or a clear caption is present, IDs are usually exact; when only audio is available, fingerprinting fills the gap. Every ID you see has already cleared our evidence bar. Weak, single-source guesses don't make it to the page.

Yes. Once you add a DJ, CrateWire keeps checking their new public posts on a schedule and adds fresh IDs as they appear, so each tracklist stays current without you re-running anything.

Yes. Beyond a single DJ, CrateWire rolls identified tracks up into a cross-DJ “what's new” feed, so you can spot the records gaining traction across all the artists you follow.

Shazam identifies audio you're actively listening to, and 1001Tracklists relies on community-submitted setlists. CrateWire works from a DJ's public Instagram automatically. It reads the music metadata, captions, comments, and audio, and only surfaces an ID once the evidence backs it up. No manual tagging required.
