Find the tracks your favorite DJs are playing.
Paste a DJ's Instagram. CrateWire reads their posts and surfaces every track, with a confidence score on each ID.
How it works
FOUR SIGNALS, ONE CONFIDENCE SCORE
We run every public post through a detection waterfall. Each source casts a vote; the strongest evidence wins.
Instagram music data
The sticker a DJ tags on a reel is the cleanest signal we have.
Captions
Track names dropped in the post copy, parsed and normalized.
Fan comments
"track ID?" replies often hold the answer the artist never posted.
Audio fingerprinting
When words run out, we listen to the audio itself.
FAQ
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
How does CrateWire identify the tracks a DJ is playing?
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. Those signals are combined into a single confidence score, and only matches above the surfacing threshold are shown.
What does the confidence score mean?
Every track ID carries a confidence score that reflects how strong and how corroborated the underlying evidence is. A high score means multiple sources agree; a lower score flags a best-effort guess — so you can tell a sure match from a maybe at a glance.
Does CrateWire use private Instagram data?
No. CrateWire only reads public Instagram content — the posts, captions, and comments anyone can already see. It never accesses private accounts or data.
Can I try CrateWire without signing up?
Yes. You can run CrateWire on a single DJ with no signup from the Try page, or open the live demo to browse tracks already identified across the DJs we follow.
Which DJs can CrateWire track?
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.
What is an “ID” in a DJ set?
In DJ culture an “ID” is an unidentified or unreleased track — the moment fans 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.
How accurate are the track IDs?
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. Because every result carries a confidence score, you always know how sure a match is instead of seeing a flat yes or no.
Does CrateWire update automatically?
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.
Can I see what's trending across DJs?
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.
How is CrateWire different from Shazam or 1001Tracklists?
Shazam identifies audio you're actively listening to, and 1001Tracklists relies on community-submitted setlists. CrateWire works from a DJ's public Instagram automatically — reading the music metadata, captions, comments, and audio — and attaches a confidence score to every ID, with no manual tagging required.
