Holy Grammys! Tiny Giant Jams returns with a right humdinger - an interview with Claire L. Evans of US electro-pop pioneers YACHT. They created their  2019 album Chain Tripping using machine learning, neural networks, old tracks and collaborations aplenty with AI luminaries such as Mario Klingemann, Cristobal Valenzula, Tom White and Ross Goodwin. The end result: an AI-human-powered album of effortless craft and awesomeness.

So recently Tiny Giant have been collaborating on the world's first AI gin with Bristol's Circumstance Distillery and strategists Rewrite Digital . It's been a fascinating project and we're wildly excited that Monker's Garkel now lives for you to try, buy and enjoy. We also thought it would be  the perfect opportunity to sit down with Liam and Danny from Circumstance to talk about their love for spirit-based innovation. A gin created through the predictive power of machines is not their first encounter with tech. So pour yourself a cheeky tipple and listen to their story. Chin, chin!
