SECR3T KEY - Mayan Wall Feat. &ily  (Cafe de Anatolia)

1️⃣ How this mix came together 🎚️✨

I started with a compatibility graph where every node is a track and every edge means these two are compatible (matching key, vibe & BPM - a blend of the Camelot wheel and personal intuition).

Then I had three constraints:
• keep the whole set locked at 110 BPM
• make sure every must-play track appears in order
• allow for optional tracks that can be added in, while still respecting the compatibility graph

2️⃣ Then I wrote a python script to help with coming up with the final track list

Here is what the script does:

• Core path: For each consecutive pair of must-play tracks the script calls nx.shortest_path with weight=None, which runs bidirectional BFS to find the minimum-hop route between the pair. The routes are concatenated to form one chain that contains every core track in order and only harmonic transitions.
• Optional insertion: The script then scans that chain once from left to right. Whenever an optional track connects to both tracks bordering a gap, it inserts the optional there and labels it “optional,” using the first valid slot it finds for each optional track.

```
import networkx as nx

# 1) build the graph
graph = nx.Graph()
edges = [
    ("Ludo", "Mahoya"), ("Mahoya", "Schleudertrauma"),
    ("Schleudertrauma", "Cheetah"), ("Cheetah", "Wave"),
    ("Wave", "Tanzanite"), ("Tanzanite", "Back to My Roots"),
    ("Back to My Roots", "Back to Black"), ("Back to Black", "Black Diamond"),
    ("Black Diamond", "Shadow Is Blue"), ("Shadow Is Blue", "Hesperides"),
  # etc.
]

graph.add_edges_from(edges)

# 2) declare core and optional tracks
core = ["Ludo", "Mahoya", "Schleudertrauma", "Tanzanite",
        "Back to My Roots", "Back to Black", "Black Diamond",
        "Hesperides", "Akela", "Optimistique-moi"]

optional = ["Cheetah", "Wave", "Slow Ravers", "Things in My Head",
            "Shadow Is Blue", "Voice of Tulum"]

# 3) create the shortest list that covers every core track
path = []
cursor = core[0]
for target in core[1:]:
    path += nx.shortest_path(G, cursor, target)[1:]
    cursor = target

# 4) insert optionals if they lie on a legal edge
for node in optional:
    for i in range(len(path) - 1):
        a, b = path[i], path[i + 1]
        if G.has_edge(a, node) and G.has_edge(node, b):
            path.insert(i + 1, f"{node} (optional)")
            break

print(" → ".join(path))
```

The output gives a ready-to-play order with any optional track tagged “(optional).” Whether an optional track is played, or not, the transitions are still harmonic.

3️⃣ Played tracks

• Temple Tears – Ludo (Original Mix)
• Eternal Moment – Mahoya (Kuako Remix)
• PATH* – Schleudertrauma (Original Mix)
• Thommie G – Tanzanite (Hvitling Remix)
• Don Son – Back to My Roots (Kapoor & fernn Remix)
• Pavel Petrov, VALL – Back to Black (Original Mix)
• Demetrius – Black Diamonds (Tony Casanova Remix)
• Haris Kate – Hesperides Garden (Rabih Rizk Remix)
• Moullinex - Darkest Night (Xinobi Remix)
• Kuako – Akela (Original Mix)
• Mylène Farmer – Optimistique-moi (Zafir Remix)

All tracks pitched to 110 BPM, only harmonic mixing, and the algorithm keeps the path legal even when the optionals are ignored.
