Sound Connections #112: WALLIFORNIA: The Real Story Behind Music and Streaming Algorithms at Deezer || Aurélien Hérault
PARTNERSHIP WITH WALLIFORNIA 2025
We explore the evolution of music discovery alongside Aurélien Hérault, Chief Innovation Officer at Deezer.
From early editorial playlists to today’s AI-powered recommendation engines, Aurélien explains why Deezer labels—and withholds promotion of—100 % AI-generated tracks, how it detects fraudulent streaming activity, and the metrics that guide “lean-back” versus “discovery” modes.
You are about to listen to a clear, behind-the-scenes look at the technology and ethical choices shaping what you hear next.
