Where are you from if you don't mind me asking?

Since it's a public answer I have to be a little cryptic - northern Ohio.

Do you listen to Muzz? I haven't heard of him but apparently he is a big deal and is the next big DnB artist to perform next month in NYC.

Sounds like either a new international or regional - not familiar but I'll have to look around. Some of our US regionals have been good. I don't know for example if Dave Sewell / 3D still spins out of Chicago but him and Phantom 45 used to have both great tapes and live sets (AK1200 was kind of in that circle also as well as Odi back in my day). I had the opportunity this summer to meet a guy named Mowgli from Cincinnati who did a really good mashup of reggae and dark dnb (his set reminded me of the kind of thing that Double O from Rupture would do).

The most hilarious thing when I went to see Roni Size was he told the audience to shout if they were born in certain decades. Most of the audience was born in the 70s and 80s. When he got to the 90s I could hear myself and a few people shout and once it got to the 2000s it was like 2 people shouting :lol: :lol: . He felt embarrassed that there wasn't that many young people at his show.

Yeah, based on the age and time period of the genre (big founding in the 90's) it's been kind of a gen X and early millenial thing but I have to figure that it'll probably catch a Gen Z / Gen Alpha revival. What I don't know however is what AI will do to the genre, let alone any other genre of music, for example will people give up on live performance or will it only be valid for live musicians? Hard to say.

London Elektricity had a lot more people around my age for his show. I am early Gen Z/Late Millennial. It was fairly diverse in age. Same for when I saw Goldie.

I wonder what AI Will do to electronic music in general. It's possible that AI composes it and the DJ just adds there own touches to it similar to what people do with fixing AI mistakes. A lot of electronic music isn't playing instruments live non stop anyway.

So you're from Ohio. Must be hard to find a big music scene that isn't rock/alternative music in a Midwest state. I'm lucky to be able to live in NYC. I'm guaranteed that big names will come to my area and the underground scene is overwhelming.

Unfortunately I don't know a whole lot about what's happening with AI fusions with major artists other than that the few apps I tried testing couldn't really do much of anything interesting with respect do dnb and I think control would need to be much more granular, for example I think AI would probably be really good for sound engineering and creating big stem libraries that you could slap together when you had something to put them on.

I mean, I don't mind the rock either - I was a huge grunge, skater thrash, industrial, etc. guy and enough of that still holds for me. We've got a pretty ambitious set of production crews though who are all in on bringing it here and they've had some pretty big names come through last year locally and even this year are off to a strong start. I hadn't been to a party in years and the thing I did last summer was the first in a long time. I think I have to see what it's turning into under more normal circumstances than an in-restaurant barbeque (there were some social aspects, like some groups of people doing flaky and kind of crappy things that just wouldn't work at a proper warehouse or outdoor rave because the focal points are really just the stages). I'm hoping the next event I go to is good, if I feel like the kids are a bit too sketchy though I might really restrain myself to just one event per year and choose wisely on line up.

SnailHail - you might appreciate this one. It's really different, she made a slide guitar and piano ballad over dnb breaks and yet it still has this slow-dance groove.
