About this episode

This episode features a melodic techno mix created with the help of AI, exploring the theme of individuality in music.

Just your run of the mill melodic techno. Ever look around and think everyone just wants to look, act, and sound all the same? Every IG dj sounds the same. AI slop is everywhere. That's this mix--aka Too Many Sheeple (A Love Story) Fun story about this mix, I pulled a bunch of tracks from my collection that I wanted to play from and added them into a few playlists as I normally would. I then asked ChatGPT to imagine I was playing a Berghain closing slot and to scan the playlists and create a set from those tracks. The results were surprising. I argued about many selections, even tried a few combos it suggested that didn't work, put that feedback back into the system and then this was what ultimately came out. So, I purchased the tracks, pre-filtered them myself, and mixed them on cdjs like normal, but the order was purely AI-driven. What do you think??
