We Came Up With Bizarre Descriptions of DJs—Then Used Artificial Intelligence to Bring Them to Life
There’s nothing that blurs the line between frightening and fascinating quite like artificial intelligence. And since artificial intelligence and electronic music are becoming more symbiotic by the day, the staff here at EDM.com wanted to see just how far it could go in a visual sense. So we came up with bizarre descriptions of artists and fed them through A.I. art generators. Some images are photorealistic. Others are fancifully distorted. And the majority of them are flat-out creepy. But we digress. Read on to see our weird and wonderful creations.

Meet CloZee: Your Sonic Tour Guide On a Trip Around the World
Tapping on a CloZee song is like activating a portal. Each track is a gateway to a place on earth or a spiritual realm. Her Neon Jungle album was influenced heavily by CloZee’s time in the lush forests of Costa Rica. The flamenco elements of “Diabólico” originate in southern Spain. Her version of “Baiana” is rooted in the body percussion work and infectious rhythms of the Brazilian group Barbatuques. “Koto” is rife with Japanese influences, particularly the song’s namesake—the country’s national instrument. “A lot of those instruments are really tied to a memory of mine,” CloZee tells EDM.com. “A lot of countries I’ve visited. Like the shamisen or the koto. I really remember so many memories of going throug...
How Northern Nights Music Festival Stays True to Its Roots
It’s only natural that music festivals would hold music as a central priority, but at Northern Nights, it’s not quite so simple. That’s mostly because as many come to the Humboldt-Mendocino county-line-straddling event for cannabis as they do for music, so attention gets split between the productions onstage and the many varied cannabis offerings at the festival. 2022’s iteration was no exception either. In fact, last weekend the kaleidoscopic forest rave used the very same two-pronged approach to throw its most evolved and integrated event to date. By making more than a few major strides from past editions of the now-paradigmatic music fest, 2022 wasn’t just a triumphant post-pandemic return. For the ragtag band of dance music-loving misfits turned world-class event producers ...
