Two DJs with decades of dancefloor experience have joined the debate over AI in music: Armin van Buuren and Laidback Luke.
From the DJ booth to product design
The two artists were announced as the first members of Moises' Artist Partnerships program. The company says they will help develop features for DJs and producers and take part in discussions about responsible AI in music tools.
The boundary Moises draws
Moises is distancing itself from the ‘type a prompt, get a finished track’ model. It says its tools should support practice, performance and creation while leaving artistic decisions with musicians. The company also says it trains its models only on licensed or authorised content.
Why Armin and Luke matter here
Electronic music has long adopted new technology quickly, from MIDI and CDJs to time-stretching and stems. Bringing two high-profile DJs into the design of these tools shifts the question from whether producers will use AI to which tasks they will hand over, and under what rules.
The real test comes next
The promise of ‘responsible AI’ means little until it can be measured against the product, its documentation and its actual practices. Consent, data provenance and creative control remain the points to scrutinise.
