Show HN: A Tool for DJs to Talk to Spotify's Recommendations API

I've often thought Spotify would make a great alternative to Beatport etc., if you could control just that much more about music it recommends. So, I created Selecta, a DJ tool to talk to Spotify's Recommendations API and fine tune your search to find the sort of tracks you're looking for.

In this first version I've setup some limited controls from the recommendations API, such as danceability, energy and happiness. I couldn't quite decide if "more options = more fine-tuned search" or the inverse, but I'm listening to feedback from those using it and I'm quite interested to see the consensus there.

Not a DJ, but definitely bookmarked. It's like being able to tune your own recommendation algorithm. I know this isn't a "you" kind of thing, but it would be really cool to see these kinds of controls live in app or on social media sites. Super cool!
