Hello,
As a dj, I usually sort my tracks by keys, but I find it limiting.
I have all kind of drum and bass, heavy to dark Neurofunk, classic to crazy jump up, uplifting liquid, liquid funk, liquid soul, minimal dnb, ragga dnb, jungle, etc...
I found this method http://djtechtools.com/2014/01/16/genre-tagging-for-dj-music-libraries/ which looks really cool, but now I'm looking for a consistent hierarchisation of the drum and bass genre.
It's hard to make a list of all the sub-gender of dnb, and it may not be the solution because there are nearly as many sub-gender as there are tunes. Also, sometimes the frontier between subgenres is really weak, there are some minimal neurofunk tunes, some minimal jump up, etc...
In the example of the site, they classify the Hip Hop genre using this classification:
So what would be a good classification method for you ?
I am looking for ideas to make a consistent tag classification of my playlist.
Any ideas ?
PS: I tried to write the better english I could, please be kind ^^

In the example of the site, they classify the Hip Hop genre using this classification:
- Time (by decade): [80s] [90s] [2k] [2k10] (this tag could be eliminated by using the Year ID3 tag instead)
- Region: [East] [West] [South] [MW] (for midwest)
- Subgenre: [Bay] [Chill] [Crunk] [Drill] [Trap] [Twerk] [UG] (underground) [Pop]
- Production Quality: [Dirty] [Clean]
- Sound/Vibe: [Deep] (pitched-down vocals, bass focused) [High] (pitched-up vocals, melody focused)
