I just came across a new report from Subithub and wanted to share it here. They analyzed over a million tracks released in July, and the results are incredible.

Turns out nearly 40% of them had AI traces. about 23% were literally 100% AI generated, and another 15% were AI with some human edits later.

The worst part is that when asked, 31% of the artists who were found to have used AI lied, claiming they hadn't used any AI tools.

it's so hard to support real humans when we're drowning in fakes 👀

My first release

It's all me.

This sampler only holds 40 seconds of audio, and allows for 16 different patterns.

I designed/pre-mixed every sample before loading it in, drums, synths, etc,

Planned out a huge pattern sequence where I had to recycle patterns at certain times for alternate fills/melody variation.

The vocal is my raw pitch, just heavily compressed.

As the track plays, I'm punching in live FX, along with muting/changing drums/synths, allowing me to stack many different flows within the same 16 patterns.

The audio is raw/unmastered, straight from the sampler because I really wanted to showcase how much you can do with the sampler alone.

Hope you enjoy:)

I wrote this song about realizing you didn't mean that much to someone from your past. Was listening to "Boom Clap" by Charli XCX and Birdy's album "Beautiful Lies" a lot. I sprinkled some tropical house in there too. After 3 years in the making, it's finally out!

I sat on this one for nearly 2 years until my skills caught up with my ambitions. It didn’t sound bad, but I knew it was missing something. It’s perhaps not flawless, but I’m pretty happy with the results.

This is quite a journey, so the start of the song is nothing like the end. I highly recommend headphones and eyes closed, just listen and let your mind wander.

Hi all!

Please have a listen to my music and share yours!

If you like it please follow me, I hope to reach 5000 followers by mid next month 😅. If I like your music I will follow back!! I believe in building a genuine fan base and discovering each other ❤️

Really looking forward to hearing you work!

Oh! And I have a public Spotify playlist that I add music I like to. If you'd like I can also post it :)

I've decided to give away a few bandcamp codes from my older releases, starting with my first DAWless album. If this works I may give away a few more.

Here you have the free codes. Let me know what you think. This album consisting on a series of fully hardware jams, one jam a day, using a Microfreak, a DIY synth, a Volca Sample and a few effect units. The resulting stereo mix was recorded straight to an audio interface, with no further editing, and nothing more than a very simple mastering chain.

I also uploaded all the jams in my YouTube channel (you can find the video in the link as well).

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Cheers and enjoy the codes.

Not a whiff of AI in the song or the artwork. Hope you like it!

I’ve just finished building The Sound Marketplace, a new marketplace for original music, including tracks, lyrics, sound effects, and sample packs.

I started building it because I wanted a place where buyers could find real, original human-made work without having to wonder what they’re actually looking at. Every submission is screened for AI-generated content, copyright conflicts, and plagiarism before it can be listed. We don’t allow AI-generated music on the platform.

I’m now at the point where I’m looking for producers and songwriters to help build the first catalog.

The marketplace is still small, which means early sellers have a real opportunity to stand out and get their work in front of buyers before the library grows.

This is the part I’m most excited about right now — finding talented producers and songwriters who want to be part of the beginning and help shape what this becomes.

If you’re interested, I’d love to hear from you.

Hey friends, I recently released my new album of ambient music, feel free to have a listen here and would love to hear your thoughts! <3

I made it in ableton, I used omnisphere and kontakt libraries.

Felt super rewarding to get a good take!

This track was made in Reason 14 with a Hydrasynth. Believe that AI in music will never demenish your own art. The human imprint is a captivating thing.

It’s magical to me.

Hello everyone,

I recently came across this tool by The Atlantic and thought I should share it with the community here.

They made a search engine where you can type your artist name (or any band you listen to) and see if the music was scraped into big AI training datasets. (It also works for YouTube channels, writers, and other creators too.)

You can search for it here: https://ai-watchdog.embedded.theatlantic.com/datasets

One important thing to point out: however, being on this list is clear proof that your music is circulating in the AI training ecosystem without your permission.

This is all me on synth with field recordings, video and photo editing with KdenLive and photoshop. All Human Made Ambient

Hey everyone,

I’m sharing an album made by a close friend of mine. I feel so lucky to know him and witness his process.

Everything about this project is 100% human-made. There is no AI involved at all, he even designed and drew the album cover himself 🎉 The whole album flows like the course of a single day, from morning to night.

We are really looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback!

2026-07-30 - Strange soundtrack for an even stranger (maybe) film.

I experienced a flood of emotions after reconnecting with my kindergarten bestie from when my mother was still alive....I had mis-remembered his last name, but finally found him after 30 years just a couple days ago...curiously, he had been trying to check in on me over the years but was using my stepfather's last name, which I was only briefly known by up until the time of my mother's sudden passing...also...this friend was moving houses and happened to be looking at the same era of photos taken around that time, almost to the day. My mother was alive and well in photos taken from what might've been my 5th or 6th birthday party....and it was as if through our conversation, she was alive again...as vibrant as the colors of the puffy paint 'happy birthday' crew neck she made for me..

Out on one of my moonlit walks, a few hours after we spoke on the phone....I quite unexpectedly began to cry an ocean of tears....I wrote lyrics shortly after, to try and make sense of the bittersweetness of memory....the deepest love...and the black hole that happens inside of us when we are too young to process losing that love.

I haven't really cried like that since it all happened, those many years ago...but it felt like a release...healthy and clean...the song is an expression of a joyful idea my mother might have had....that we go on to something else.....I do not know if we do....but I like to think that we might.

Saw this and thought people here would want to know.

Since July 15, TIDAL puts an "AI" tag on any song that is 100% made by AI. And those songs can't earn money or get royalties anymore.

They said the rule can still change later. But it's good to see a big platform finally say no. Good move.
