DJ_Dave is on the cover of MusicTech Magazine’s July/August 2026 issue

DJ_Dave is on the cover of MusicTech Magazine’s July/August 2026 issue, which is now on sale in a bundle with NME Magazine featuring Yves.

Last April, we announced the relaunch of the MusicTech print edition after a four-year hiatus, and we’ve since had Blake Slatkin, Sudan Archives and KÁRYYN grace the print cover. Now, we’re excited to reveal DJ_Dave joins that list with the July/August 2026 issue, which comes bundled with a copy of NME Magazine. Get yours now via Dawsons.

Rising producer and live music coder DJ_Dave lands on the cover of the new MusicTech Magazine, having just announced her debut album Hardcore Software. Read the digital cover story written by Clovis McEvoy, with photographs by David Milan Kelly, in which she shares how live music coding, with its ethos of transparency and “punk” spirit, became her calling.

“The people that are involved in live coding are genuinely awesome, have good morals, are smart and amazing,” she says. “Being involved in this community has made me feel a lot more optimistic about tech.”

Besides MusicTech, Guitar.com has also returned to print. Guitar.com, MusicTech and NME are sister publications under NME Networks. The Guitar.com and MusicTech print editions alternate with every bi-monthly edition of NME Magazine – which itself was relaunched in 2023 – meaning three print editions per calendar year for each brand. Korean pop artist Yves appears on the print cover of the NME Magazine July/August 2026 issue.
