Big Data, the brain child of producer Alan Wilkis, broke through in 2014 with Dangerous (feat. Joywave). Essentially, this version was a remix made by Joywave of a track off Big Data’s first EP 1.0, that was later released on the band’s second EP 1.5. On their debut album 2.0, Big Data worked with Jamie Lidell, Dragonette, Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo and others.

You won’t be surprised to hear Big Data’s upcoming second album will be named 3.0. It’s preceded by the single Evolution Once Again, a song about the moment ’when artificial intelligence exponentially surpasses human intelligence’. Wilkis explains: “The character singing the song is the forlorn computer scientist who feels abandoned by the AI he has created, which has now left him (and all of humanity) far behind.”
