Dam Yankee Podcast: Episode DescriptionTop 100 DJ Cuebrick: AI, Avicii, and the Antidote to Industry Pressure On this episode of Dam Yankee, host Zack Newmark sits down with Top 100 DJ and producer Cuebrick (Mannheim, Germany) to discuss the raw reality of a 15-year career in electronic music. Cuebrick shares his surprisingly positive take on Artificial Intelligence (AI), explaining why artists must "go with the time" and how AI is already driving up the quality of music production—specifically the "top lines" for dance tracks. The veteran DJ also offers a candid reflection on the intense, non-stop pressure of the industry, fueled by his meditations on the tragic suicide of EDM superstar Avicii. Cuebrick reveals his personal antidote to the stress: the quiet strength and perspective of his late grandmother, who taught him not to take life too seriously, famously saying, "We’re not coming out of this alive." Discover how a forced stop during the pandemic helped Cuebrick find gratitude, set boundaries, and protect himself from the industry pressures that can overwhelm even the biggest stars. Listen to the full interview for Cuebrick's thoughts on his future plans, the illusion of success on social media, and what it takes to survive and thrive on the long road to success.
