"Boda de muertos" was one of the most beautiful events I've ever had the honor of playing. Translated as "Wedding of the Dead," this gathering was truly a marriage between humans of all parts of the world, as we joined together in Puebla, Mexico in celebration of Dia de los Muertos. In maintaining with the theme, I attempted to marry sounds that were occasionally creepy and subtly haunting with ones which paid homage to the local landscape of Mexico and were naturally more fun. So if you are here to relive a bit of the magic that was "Boda de Muertos", I hope this journey satisfies your craving. And if you're hearing it for the first time, I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed playing it. A massive thank you Debs, Nikita, Jb and everyone who helped produce this event, to Muisca, Jenia Tarsol, Nico Stojan, Rovertzon, Lato, and Lovecraft for keeping us dancing all weekend, to every artist whose music was played, and to everyone who danced-- this event would be nothing without you! 🖤

It was a cold NYC night, but that didn't stop us from heating up the basement of gospel. I had the honor of opening for the immensely talented (and not to mention absolutely lovely) @s_paniol, but something I noticed which was quite different about this headlining act is that he arrived on time to hear my whole set. What a truly flattering and appreciated gesture when an artist that you so respect and revere comes early to show you the same respect. before this night, I knew he was an incredible musician, but after this night, I knew he was an incredible human, and now even a friend. thank you to the auditory craftsman and women who created the songs that I was able to share with the brave souls who bundled up to come out and dance the night away! and thank you to the gospel team of course for inviting me. it was certainly one for the books. I hope you enjoy reliving this memorable night here or enjoy hearing it for the first time here. either way, say hi in the comments, as you know my favorite part about this whole thing is connecting with YOU. x Ali

A little backstory about this set... When I first got booked to play Tale of Iele I was beyond honored. I got right to work researching the area of Transylvania, the specific medieval citadel I'd be playing in, and of course the myth of the Iele, in order to truly grasp a feel for and establish the sound of which I wanted to embody. I wanted it to be sexy and dark, a little creepy, but still fun and danceable, while remaining true to my world music style, and as always, I wanted to tell a story. So I started drafting what would be v 1 (of perhaps 1000) of the poem heard at 3 points throughout the set. I was lucky enough to recruit the help of talented wordsmiths and friends @poetcalledl and @the_real_ja_rite to assist me on my conquest. Truly I cannot thank these two special humans enough for their talent, creativity, collaboration, and above all, their patience. It was a much more arduous task than I'd imagined, and being a perfectionist, I would catch myself nitpicking the tiniest words or grammatical nuances. But, in the end, I couldn't be more happy about the outcome, so I truly thank you both for making my vision come to fruition.  I hope you all enjoy it!

The Tale:
There once was a land, many moons before our time
Transylvania it is called today
known for the seductive and sublime
 
At its highest mountain peak stood a fabled fortress, 
Citadel Rupea, as it is known
And it is the place that the seed of this sacred story is sown
 
On the 23rd Eve of the month of June,
The fortress watchmen spotted women in white
With flowers in their hair, and hardly a care, 
they danced a greeting to the night
 
He recognized them as the mythical Iele, thought only to be a tale
In which, it is said, to not join in their joyous dance could cause a man’s heart to fail
 
He became entranced by the wondrous women; 
as the surrounding air turned increasingly erotic. 
They were devastatingly beautiful and their song… 
was hauntingly hypnotic
--
Soon enough, the dancing came to a halt
As if they’d detected the watchman’s gaze, 
They turned to him with eyes of fire 
Condemning him in horrific ways

They took to the air and flew toward the moon 
leaving the watchman behind
And in that final moment He knew 
The Iele had rendered him deaf, dumb and blind
--
We gather here on this 23rd Eve of June 
to take our own chilling chance
So heed the call when the Iele look your way,  
and dare not deny their invitation to dance.

Some funky groovy fun to start the day right! This set was recorded live at Camp Bang Bang's Brunch Recovery party Thursday morning at 7am. I hope you can enjoy it over some avocado toast and champers and Vegemite. Cheers mateeee!

Ali Mae live @ Camp Bang Bang | Burning Man 2022 | Sunrise Set

Oaxaca is known to be one of the most special places to experience Día de los Muertos so, this year, when I was invited to play it and at my favorite set time, I jumped at the opportunity. There is something so special about the 7am set time -- the sun has just come up and you are in control of whether the crowd sticks around or heads to bed. Everyone is at their most raw, unguarded states, proud to have made it through the night and eager to celebrate a new day. And that is exactly what this crowd did, and they damn sure did it well!

Ali Mae @ Xamanic Journey | Oaxaca, MX | Nov-22

Ended 2022 playing my favorite event of NYC -Amaya. It was a special night getting to open for my agency brother and super talented human Theo Meier with much of the Amaya family in attendance. thank you to everyone who came out in the cold to share this last dance with me and can't wait to see you again in 2023!

Ali Mae live @ Amaya Society | NOHO, NYC | 12.16.22

There truly is no place quite like the desert in Morocco, with its miles of sweeping sand dunes adorned with colorful carpets lining bedouin tents- it is a place I've always dreamt of playing. Having been inspired by its music and culture for many years, I was super excited when I was invited to come and share some music with the people of Morocco. Here is a set which I hope embodies my appreciation for the culture and the energy felt on this special night.

Ali Mae @ Agafay Desert, Morocco | July 2023

last month I had the honor of playing the famous m.n. roy in mexico city. i played from 3-5am and here is what I played. hope you enjoy it :)

Ali Mae Live @ M.N. Roy, Mexico City | 11.9.23

Ever since the first time I saw its twinkling purple lights on the playa horizon, I’ve admired the beautiful Maxa deer and held dreams of playing on it. And this year, on the Thursday night, I had the honor of leading the deer from its camp out to deep playa where it would meet countless other animal art cars in an Animalia link-up! There was talks of a storm coming, and as I boarded the deer, it began to drizzle. I said a little prayer, the rain miraculously stopped, and she began to travel. I can honestly say there is no greater feeling than the one I felt for the two hours that followed, playing music on Maxa’s majestic deer while looking out into a crowd of some of my dearest friends smiling and dancing as more animal art cars joined the party. I remember just as I finished my last track feeling so full of joy and gratitude for everyone around me— my friends, the Maxa crew, the people who stopped for a song and stayed til the end— everyone and everything, I felt so completely thankful. And in that moment, it began to rain, the wind picked up and a massive storm rolled in, almost as if to say, “You’re welcome.”

Ali Mae - Maxa - Burning Man 2023

just nearly one hour from this past friday in mexico city at one of my favorite spots "essex club". lately i've been feeling a bit stumped when faced with the "what kind of music do you play" question. if you could please let me know in the comments what kind of music this is, i would greatly appreciate it. regardless, i hope you enjoy it, even if you can't describe it.

If you would have told me 6 years ago when I attended my first Zero party, that I would one day be playing there myself, I would have never believed it. But it's truly incredible how much your life can change over the course of 6 years. This past April I had the honor to open my favorite stage of the notorious Zero Masquerade-- the Courtyard. It had been a few months since I had played in NYC and I really felt the love from all corners of the courtyard, surrounded by friends who came out for my 10pm start and who I knew would be there until the morning. Thank you to Richard and the team for giving me the opportunity, thank you to every one who came to dance, and thank you to everyone who is listening now. Hope you enjoy it!

Ali Mae live @ Zero Masquerade, Brooklyn, NY | April 27, 2024

This recording is from Norse Code's Post Man Burn party and it was my 5th gig of 7 this week. I went into it feeling completely run down, with no voice, surviving of cough drops and Propolis spray, exhausted and sleep deprived. But something about this camp and the people who make it up gave me such energy that all of that went out of the door once I got behind the decks. All of a sudden I was at 127 bpm bopping around like a new born baby in a bounce house. It ended up being my most fun gig and one of those gigs that reminds me why I love to do this. Uniting people on the dance floor and seeing everyones smiling faces and hearing the cheers of joy- there truly is no feeling like it! Thank you to Julia for inviting me and being such a supportive bad ass babe, and to Scott for hosting, for the campers and attendees, to my tour manager Richy (lol)  for the support in the booth, Chamboys, Anais, Maxxe, Andreyna +the crew for coming and ripping up the dance floor , and everyone else who was there to dance the night away. You are truly the MVPs! Hope to see you all on a dance floor soon! x Ali

Always such an honor to play for Hot Situations, as it was my first booking back in 2018. Jon and Alaya believed in me from the beginning, were my earliest supporters and over the years have become my family. But this Hot Situations went above and beyond to exceed my expectations, with its multi-stage , high level production value, it felt more like a mini festival! I had so much fun, you wouldn't have even been able to tell that a few hours prior, I realized I left my laptop on the plane. 🤪  The show must go on!  xx Ali

Ali Mae @ Hot Situations, NYC | 1.25.25

@alimaemusic began her career 8 years ago deeply inspired by hypnotic and sexy house grooves,  and a few years later by sounds influenced by ancient tribal cultures. 

Today, she melds the collection together to create a sonic journey aimed to invoke nostalgia from times of a distant and not so distant past!

From NYC’s underground to Mexico’s vibrant scene, her journey through music is one of unity, movement, and raw emotion.

This Mix brings the best of her deep sexy sound to Unusual!

"ALI MAE" // UNUSUAL MIX #004

This was a very special set for me not just because it was on my birthday, but because as I was playing I remembered that I had come to Roy on my birthday last year, as an attendee. I remembered the kind of person I was at that moment one year ago and how far I'd come - personally and professionally. I had been booked by Paolo to play after him, from 5am to close. He had heard a downtempo set of mine at another event, and asked me to play that style. So, I came prepared with an arsenal of chill dreamy music. But the truth is that when I arrived at 4am the place was on fire. Paolo had the vibe so high that I knew I couldn't bring it down and had to kinda wing the whole thing- something I would have been so terrified to do a year ago (I am an over-thinker and a perfectionist and prep music for every gig). But it taught me a lesson to trust myself and be confident and know that you can do it and just flow and it will all be OK. Hope you enjoy the flow..

GOSPËL Radio Vol 20 Ali Mae

no idea if I'm doing this right, but here we are. my first mix.

first and foremost

I found the loop button! Still trying to figure out what I’m doin over here. But anyways, here's some family-friendly smooth listening for ya during this holiday season. Hope you enjoy!

deep sexy funky feels

I started this one in December, then finished it on the flight to tulum just before New Years. But, needless to say, didn't do shit with it until yesterday when I got back to NY. of course looking at it a month later, I changed about half of it and recorded it today. I hope you enjoy it! tulum inspired mix is up next....

deep dark and dirty

this mix is inspired by two beautiful weeks spent in tulum last month. let it take you on a journey beginning at the beaches of tulum, and moving deep into the jungle where you find a party and spend all night dancing until finally ending at a beautiful sunrise... in true tulum fashion. enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: Guy Gerber's "What to do (&me remix)" is not included in this mix because albeit wonderful, I heard it every day for 2 weeks straight. please see perhaps any other tulum mix if youre looking for this track.

into the jungle

Being that March equals the halfway mark to being back in the magical place known as Burning Man, I thought I would do a mix inspired by the playa. Hope you enjoy!

halfway to home

for those who couldn't make it to the hot situations party this past saturday, and for those who asked if I recorded my set, this ones for you. a little warm up to get the feet movin. I hope you enjoy it!

Ali Mae live @ Hot Situations - NYC, NY - 6.15.2019

just like 'into the jungle', this mix is inspired from the deep organic sounds of tulum, only it is now one year later and one degree darker. i hope you enjoy this journey and leave some love in the comments if you do :)

into the darker jungle

recorded live from my isolation quarters, I present to you episode 01 of quarantine chronicles. I hope this brings you joy and a bit of a solo boogie, until we can meet again on the dance floor.  love y'all & stay the F home.

quarantine chronicles

I know its been a while since I've posted a mix and apologize for that. I've been struggling to figure out how to musically communicate a response to everything that has gone on in the last 7 months.  Beginning with a global pandemic, followed shortly by one of the US's biggest civil rights movements as a response to 400 years of systemic racism, all the while Australia, the Amazon, and California experience record breaking wild fires and areas around the world undergo massive flooding. If one thing became clear, it's that our planet is reaching its breaking point and if we don't act now, we may not exist much longer. So please, whatever you do, do something. Small actionable steps DO help- don't underestimate your power and OUR power as a collective society. Whatever you do, don't forget nature.

don't forget nature

this set was recorded live from mia beach club in tulum, mexico on nov 24, 2020. I was super excited to play here as it is one of my favorite venues, so I thought I would record it to share with anyone looking for a little sun shine to their weird and wild 2020. mostly new releases and a couple unreleased, from some of my favorites!! @sebacampos_musica, @dbramusic, @djsabo , @wanduta1, @yusufthelemone, @soundofnotredame, @dsf-greece, @wearechambord, @mcflymx, @mass-digital, @djshai-t, @memo_official & more. hope you enjoy, and please leave a comment if you do. remember, stay positive everyone,  life is meant to be enjoyed + not feared, and you are in control of your decisions, so choose wisely! <3

Ali Mae live @ Mia Beach, Tulum - 11.24.20

this set was recorded live from the gorgeous club of azulik called "xooch" on january 31, 2021, just six days after tulum succumbed to inevitable covid regulations. it is a symbolic representation of my continual struggle between the urge to obey the covid restrictions that keep us all separated, and the urge to disobey, continuing to unite people through music. you can hear this specifically toward the end where I struggle to play "chill/downtempo" as I'd been instructed to play on the day off.  it became so difficult to resist the primal urge to encourage people to dance, and you may be able to sense my struggle when you listen. I hope you enjoy the journey and can feel the love coming through this set, as much as I felt while playing it. enjoy!!

Ali Mae live @ Azulik, Tulum - 1.31.21

the @amayasociety family has been a very special part of my life for about three years now. from being my favorite venue in nyc, to then becoming my favorite venue to play in nyc, they have trusted, supported, and guided me through it all. this set is a dinner hour set from the third installment of the amaya tryst dinner experience series that took place in tulum this past winter. it's a bit more downtempo than i normally play and I definitely had to do some digging, but I think you will like it. and if you do, leave me some love in the comments. it makes my damn day. ☀️💛✌🏻
