KEF and re:sonate Present: The Big Questions


Human Curation vs Algorithms: Can AI replace the art of music selection?​

​In a world where AI-curated playlists dominate, the role of human curation is under question. From restaurants and retail spaces to live events and radio, the emotional connection and storytelling that humans bring to music selection remains vital. This panel asks whether audiences can truly tell the difference, what impact AI is already having on taste-making, and if the next generation of DJs, presenters, and curators will be displaced or empowered by it. We’ll explore the future of music discovery, and whether technology can ever match the nuance, context and cultural depth that human curation provides.


About The Panel

  • Tim Garcia (re:sonate Founder)
  • Tina Edwards (re:sonate Founder)
  • Jamz Supernova (BBC 6 Music / DJ / Label Owner)​
  • Josh Mason (Somewhere Soul music discovery platform)​
  • Auntie Flo (DJ, producer, former owner of b2b playlisting company)

Proceeds from the ticket sales will be donated to Legacy Youth Zone.

Please note, videography and photography will be taking place during this event. If you have any concerns, please speak to a member of the KEF Team on the night.
