DJ Reinier Zonneveld launches AI music startup GasLab with $1M pre-seed funding

GasLab (Generative AI Solutions Lab), a GenAI music platform created by DJ and producer Reinier Zonneveld, is launched this week, backed by $1 million in pre-seed funding. GasLab is on a mission to keep creatives in business in the age of generative AI, protecting the future of the creative industry by ensuring the artists whose music shapes AI-generated tracks are recognised, credited and able to share in the value created. Investors in this round include Eric Demuth, co-founder and executive Chairman of Bitpanda, and Bas Beerens, founder of WeTransfer and serial entrepreneur, alongside other European entrepreneurs. GasLab gives the music industry a complete end-to-end system for AI music. Artists and labels who allow for their music to be used in training its AI model will be able to see exactly how their work helped shape each generated track, and will be paid for it. The system’s proprietary technology attributes each AI generation, making the system transparent and fair. Cr
