Today on the show, Cascade.

After roughly five thousand shows and three decades making electronic music, he's still experimenting and still getting asked if he can DJ somebody's kids bar mitzvah. We'll get into where AI helps creativity and where it starts copying the people who made the music worth listening to. You'll hear what happens when a generator catches fire in front of forty thousand fans, and why Cascade grabs a diet Coke while Dead Mouse starts mentally firing everybody. We'll also explore how you keep evolving for decades without letting your fans, your industry, or your own success. dictate who you are allowed to be. Even if electronic music is not your thing, and I totally understand there's a lot here about building a career that you actually want to keep having. So here we go with Cascade.

I think a good place to start actually is probably what do you make of the AI music'cause I wanted some lounge music and so I went on YouTube or something else. Oh this is Pretty good. I dig this. I haven't heard this before. And then I looked at the author and it was like Claude.
