Sort your set into an energy arc.
DJ set energy flow is the order that decides where a set lifts, where it peaks, and where it lets the room breathe. Most sets take one of three shapes: a build from slow to fast, a wind down from fast to slow, or an arc that peaks in the middle. Each one is a tempo sort with the key path repaired afterwards, so the climb still mixes. Set Designer does both per chapter, one click each.

The chapters of the night, in the order you play them.
How it works.
Drop tracks on the canvas and group them into chapters: warm up, peak, close. Sorting runs per chapter, and the two sort buttons appear on the chapter header as soon as it holds two tracks.
Open the sort menu and choose Ascending for slow to fast, Descending for fast to slow, or Arc to peak in the middle. Shuffle and Reverse sit in the same menu for when you want to break the pattern.
Key sort lets you pick a start key, and an end key if you want to land somewhere specific, from the Camelot keys in that chapter, so it needs at least two different keys to work with. Then export the finished order to Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, or Engine DJ.

Shape the night, not just the playlist.
Three sort shapes, a key path that holds, and suggestions that lift on purpose.

Energy Flow
Three shapes, one click each.
Ascending runs slow to fast for a build. Descending runs fast to slow for a close. Arc starts on your slowest track, climbs to the fastest one in the middle, and comes back down to land on the second slowest. The whole chapter reorders in place, so trying a second shape costs one more click.

The build still has to mix.
Tempo alone will hand you two neighbours in clashing keys. When several tracks share a BPM, Vibes spends the tie on Camelot compatibility with the track before it, so the ordering inside a tempo step is already harmonic. Key sort goes further and chains a chapter from a start key to an end key you choose.

Tempo and key, from your own files.
The shapes read the BPM and Camelot key stored for each track, so analyze a chapter before you shape it: a track with no BPM has nothing to sort on. Your own energy value, 1 to 10 in the Track Inspector, is a manual label kept in your library only; the shapes are built on tempo, which is what your DJ software will show you later.

Next track
Lift the energy on purpose.
Pull a track's handle and the suggestions come back with a tempo direction you pick, slower, similar, or faster, and one of seven key intents, from a safe harmonic match to Energy Up and Energy Boost. Turn on Sound Match and the ranking also weighs how similar the audio itself is, not just the tags.

Methodology
How we keep this honest.
Verified against the app
Energy Flow is described from the shipping version of Vibes, not a roadmap.
We own our bias
Vibes is our product. We call out where a feature has limits or where another tool does something differently.
Live pricing
The Vibes price shown comes straight from our checkout, never a hardcoded marketing number.
