A childhood taste for gadgets of all kinds resurfaced in college when, unfulfilled as a fashion major, she decided to take an “algorave” course that \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eintroduced her to the core tenets of live coding: accessibility, knowledge-sharing, and active \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eopposition to technofascism. When COVID-19 hit shortly after her graduation, she was still what she warmly describes as a “noob” to both coding and electronic music; but within a year, she’d gone from DJing a few virtual summits to key clubs on the American nightlife circuit. She swiftly carved out a clear lane for herself within electronic music’s new avant garde, dropping remixes for Tove Lo, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChannel Tres, and Uffie, opening up for JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown’s joint tour, and putting out a debut EP, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/algoravedave\/sets\/intercell-ep-1\" title=\"Intercell\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eIntercell\u003c\/a\u003e. But she also started making videos detailing her production process, eager to knowledge-share and find out what clicked with listeners. Before long, she found herself with a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecohesive collection of songs that would become her debut, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcore Software. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs fluent in the driving force of trance and hardstyle as the delicate melodies of PC Music, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcore Software\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esits comfortably between the rave and the radio, ushering in listeners with more of a pop background while still tapping into the psyche of the most seasoned club kids.

Drawing inspiration from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClams Casino\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAphex Twin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Dave took extra care shaping and twisting samples of her own breathy, ethereal vocals, adding a new level of intimacy and texture to her icy club earworms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOf all the tracks on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcore Software\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, lead single “\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNext to U\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e” best exemplifies the inspiration and heart behind Dave’s practice. The snappy, power-fifth lead melody that drives the song came about by mistake: by mistyping one comma in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStrudel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, her live coding environment of choice, she altered its loop pattern, instructing it to go back and forth between a key change instead of layer notes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWithin what felt like “thirty seconds,” she had her next song.

Her dream for live coding — which she has further explored in academic papers, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ehLb1pDw5j4\" title=\"Ted Talks\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTED Talks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and college lecture circuits — is not just to open up the dance floor, but to demystify the innovations Big Tech wants to keep out of the hands of the people.
