Blending genres on Club Ready Music
“How many genres can I blend in one track?”
You can pick up to five genres for one track. The first genre you pick leads: it goes first in the prompt, it sets the BPM hint and the MATCH tempo, and it becomes the genre tag in the file. The others shade the blend in the order you added them. Genres are optional; a strong vibe description can carry a render on its own.

How the blend reaches the model
The style prompt opens with your genres in order, comma separated, followed by your vibe text. "Afro House, Melodic Techno, Soul. Warm, rolling, late-night…" tells the model to centre on afro house and borrow from the other two. With no genres the prompt begins "Genre: choose the best fit for the description" and your vibe does the steering.
How many to use
One or two genres give the most predictable result. Three is a good blend when the genres are neighbours, such as deep house, nu-disco and funk. Four or five work when you want something unusual and are prepared to render twice. Mixing families that disagree on tempo, drum and bass with bossa nova for instance, hands the model a conflict; set the BPM deliberately in that case, since the lead genre only sets the hint.
The lead genre's extra jobs
- The BPM hint under the tempo control shows its typical range, and MATCH jumps to the middle of it.
- It becomes the genre tag in the MP3 and the rekordbox XML.
- It is named first in the cover art concept.
Featured sounds
Separately from genres, the lyric-writing dialog lets you pick up to six sounds to feature, such as 808 kicks, bongos, saxophone or acid 303. These are appended to the prompt as "Feature prominently: …" and are a precise way to shape the blend without adding a whole genre.

Frequently asked
Do I have to pick a genre?
No. Leave genres empty and describe the vibe; the prompt then tells the model to choose the best fit for your description.
What does Surprise me do?
It fills the blend with a random selection of genres so you can hear something you would not have asked for.
