Dance Legends Armin van Buuren and Laidback Luke Join Moises to Build Responsible AI Tools for Musicians

Electronic pioneers will help shape new DJ and producer workflows for the creative suite used by 80 million musicians

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Moises, the creative suite for musicians, today announced that Armin van Buuren and Laidback Luke have joined the company as the first members of its Artist Partnerships program. Both artists will help shape new producer- and DJ-focused features and contribute to conversations about the future of music technology and responsible AI. The new program follows the appointment of Charlie Puth as Moises’ Chief Music Officer and expands the company’s effort to put working artists at the center of how its creative tools are built.

At a time when generative AI is raising questions around consent, ownership, and replacement, Moises is taking a different approach: rather than generating finished songs from prompts, its creative suite helps musicians practice, perform, and create while keeping artistic decision-making in their hands. The company trains its AI models only on licensed and authorized content.

“Electronic music has always moved forward because artists were willing to experiment with new technology,” said Geraldo Ramos, founder and CEO of Moises. “The next generation of creative tools has to be built with musicians, not around them. Armin and Luke understand the craft, the community, and the responsibility that comes with building tools musicians will actually use.”

Architects of Modern Dance Music

For more than two decades, van Buuren has shaped the sound, culture, and worldwide reach of electronic music. One of only three artists to be named the world’s No. 1 DJ by DJ Mag five times, he is a GRAMMY-nominated artist, co-founder of Armada Music, and host of A State of Trance, the radio show that reaches more than 40 million listeners.

“Technology has always been part of how electronic music evolves,” said van Buuren. “What matters is whether the artist stays in control. Moises approaches AI with respect for the musician’s own sound and decision-making, and I’m excited to help build tools that make producers faster and more expressive without taking the creativity out of their hands.”

Laidback Luke is a DJ, producer, label founder, and educator whose influence helped shape the rise of modern EDM. Through Mixmash Records, his production forums, and masterclasses, he has championed emerging artists including Avicii and Afrojack. His collaboration and remix credits include Daft Punk, Kanye West, Rihanna, Madonna, Jay-Z, Pharrell, and others.

“Every generation of producers gets new tools, but the best tools do not do the work for you,” said Laidback Luke. “They help you hear more, learn faster, and make stronger creative decisions. That is the kind of AI I want young producers to grow up with.”

What Comes Next

Moises chose dance music as the starting point for the program because electronic artists have long been among the first to transform new technology into new forms of musical expression. Over the coming months, the company plans to announce additional high-profile artists and producers across multiple genres.

The program builds on the company’s recent industry partnerships, including Fender, which selected Moises as the first AI technology partner for its Studio Pro DAW, and Ableton, which chose Moises’ stem-separation technology for Ableton Live. Moises has also partnered with Blackstar Amps, the Whitney Houston Estate, and Cory Henry.

America’s Largest Political Group Is Getting Its Own Election Night

A record 45% of Americans identify with neither party. On November 3, they get the first nationally televised Election Night built around the independent voter bloc, presented by United Independents, the organization behind the Independent National Convention, in partnership with DeFiance Media.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Can the country’s largest bloc of voters turn identity into representation? Independents now make up 45% of U.S. adults, a record high in Gallup’s 2025 data, yet partisan coverage continues to dominate mainstream mediums. On November 3, one broadcast will cover the election from the Independent point of view.

Broadcast live from the National Press Club’s television studio in Washington, D.C. Election Night 2026: Independent Edition is an eight-hour program hosted by Christopher Life, founder and CEO of United Independents, and Macy Gunnell, NewsForce’s White House correspondent. DeFiance Media will be producing and streaming the broadcast.

Built on live election data from The Associated Press (AP), the program will call the national races as the returns come in. Then it goes where other broadcasts don’t: race-by-race coverage of independent candidates in consequential congressional contests, and guest conversations with the strategists and organizers behind them.

Built for the Voters Both Parties Are Chasing

Two generations of Americans have come of age as independent voters, and in 74 years of nationally televised Election Night broadcasts, not one has been built around them. This one is: national results and the balance of power, dedicated coverage of the independent candidates who could tip the next Congress, and a live chat with selected viewer questions put to the hosts and guests on air.

Open to Every Newsroom

Television pool feed. U.S. television outlets, including local stations, can carry the program live, in full or in part, separate from DeFiance Media’s full-program streaming.Social streaming. The broadcast streams through participating social media partners. Channels that want to carry it can sign up at Election2026.live.Live clips and excerpts. Newsrooms, commentators, and creators can pull portions of the program for reporting and social distribution while the broadcast is underway.

Request access through the Media & Distribution Access Form at Election2026.live.

Free and Accessible Nationwide

Going live Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026, from 6 PM- 2 AM ET. Updates, guest announcements, and viewing instructions: Election2026.live.

An accomplished pianist and keyboardist, Weinstein has collaborated with an impressive range of vocalists, including artists who have performed and recorded with Maroon 5, Sting, John Legend, Alicia Keys, Usher, Lauryn Hill and Jill Scott. He has also collaborated with standout performers from American Idol, America’s Got Talent and The Voice.
