As a side note, on the RA events sometimes artists are listed in the description but not linked in the description so there could be some artists missing. In my experience it tends to vary on the nightclub.
For example, 3/7 "nightclubs" it lists in Croatia are not nightclubs. I would also group Kalypso and Zrće Beach together as Kalypso is one out of 4 nightclubs located on Zrće Beach, but the beach itself is not a venue. Similarly, Barbarella's is kind of an afterparty destination for festivals organised at the Garden Resort. They only match 6%, but I wouldn't call them completely separate. This is the kind of "lore" that's impossible to catch from raw data.
I like the Essential Mix visualisation even more! It's such a shame most of the other ones appear dead due to API changes.

Agreed this project definitely banged up against those sorts of walls a few times. Still think it's worth trying, hopefully the information offered one can find outweighs any distortions it introduces. Maybe something that should have been explicitly acknowledged in the piece.

Thanks, happy to hear that. I keep meaning to go back to the essential mix one, get new data and apply some of the stuff I've learned since!
Demographic analysis would have been interesting I agree, but I didn't know of a good data source for that and it's hard to parse from line up data (especially in places one isn't familiar with)
If a know a place that has angry bouncers or annoying rules, I rather go to a place that he less then ideal music.
One local club has a rule that you can't drink water from the bathroom tab, and they even turn off the cold water. I'm not going there, even when the music is fire.
