DJ_Dave is an experimental electronic-pop artist, DJ, producer, and live-coding pioneer. She creates and performs music entirely through code, a practice known as algorave. Her work resists the polished perfection of AI-generated music, instead embracing the friction between human instinct and computer logic. “Next to U” is a bright, fast-moving electronic track that perfectly captures DJ_Dave’s unique approach. Created using live-coding platform Strudel, the song’s signature clipped, power-fifth melody was born from a misplaced comma.
