Beyond the Algorithm – Curators, Collectors & Community
Today’s streaming platforms rely on algorithms to define taste, often pushing homogeneity and sidelining niche voices. But the culture of selectors, DJs, and crate diggers proves that curation is deeply human, rooted in community and shared discovery.
This panel brings together DJs, music journalists, and platform builders to discuss what happens when we put people, not algorithms, back in charge. With examples from Crates and beyond, the conversation explores how collections, playlists, and community-powered recommendations can reshape discovery in ways that are fairer, more diverse, and more sustainable for artists.
Attendees will gain insight into how music lovers can resist algorithm fatigue and rebuild trust in curatorship as the future of music culture.
