All views are personal.
Here’s your first taste of the new show, dropping 25 November 2025.
In this teaser, the crew sit down in Dubai and open with the question a lot of artists are already whispering about:
Is AI killing music?
You’ll hear the start of the debate — where Kevin breaks down what he actually does in AI, Sketchy talks about the state of music creation right now, and Niquita pulls the thread on creativity vs convenience.
Just a preview… the full episode dives into:
• Why so much mid AI music is flooding feeds?
• “Press one button” tracks vs real creative process
• How @shaikhkev uses AI to build from his own lyrics + stories?
• Where @sketchybongo_official already uses AI in production?
• What makes truly human albums feel the way they do?
• The messy bit: copyright, training data & who should get paid
• Access, education and the next wave of artists
Full Episode 1 drops next week.
