"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

Ali Mae @ Bonjuk Bay - Bayram Fest II - Sunset (17-07-2022)

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.

BOHO Music Show live on Ibiza Sonica hosted by Camilo Franco invites Ali Mae - 12.07.23

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

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.”

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.

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

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!!

inspired by the diversity and authenticity of world music, ali mae takes you on a sonic journey by weaving together a blanket of multi-cultural electronic music. her sound evokes a sense of distant nostalgia and unconscious familiarity, incorporating elements from of tribal communities, which have been deeply engrained in our souls. in this particular set--which she describes as symbolic of her relationship with the pandemic--you can hear her contemplation between obeying restrictions that keep us all separated (by employing chill, downtempo vibes) and disobeying (through fun, upbeat, happy sounds), continuing to unite people through music. she hopes you can feel the love coming through this set, as much as she felt while playing it.

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. ☀️💛✌🏻
