About CrateWire
Find the tracks behind the set.
CrateWire helps working DJs and curious listeners find music in posts and mixes, then keep the tracks they want to play. Follow DJs, identify a single post, or scan a set from one place.
What you can do
Follow DJs by their public Instagram handles and browse the tracks identified in their posts through a shared feed. Search their tracklists and save discoveries to your own collections.
For a single find, paste a public Instagram post, reel or song-page link, or a TikTok video link. For a longer set, paste a YouTube, SoundCloud or Mixcloud link, or upload a supported audio or video file. Mix scans cover the portion available under your plan.
How identification works
For Instagram posts, CrateWire can use several kinds of evidence. Which sources contribute depends on the content and the information available.
Music attribution
Music information attached to an Instagram post can identify a recording.
Captions
Track names and artist mentions in the post can provide clues.
Comments
Replies and track suggestions can add evidence to an identification.
Audio recognition
Audio fingerprints can match music heard in a clip to a recording.
The evidence is combined to identify tracks and connect results to their source. Recognition is best-effort: unavailable audio, blends and tracks that are not yet identifiable can leave gaps. A result is a discovery lead, not a guarantee.
Who it is for
CrateWire is built for DJs collecting music for their next set, and listeners who want to explore what their favourite selectors play. It brings ongoing discovery and individual searches together, so a link you saved can become a track in your collection.
From discovery to your collection
Browse identified tracks, return to the posts or mixes where you found them, and organise saved tracks into named collections. Where available, music-service links help you find the recording.
Following a DJ and requesting a post or mix scan are separate workflows. Available scans and mix coverage depend on your plan; CrateWire shows usage and limits in the app.
