Curator of vibes [melodic x house].

Hailing from Toronto and now making waves in Calgary, ALI infuses house and progressive dance music with eclectic influences from indie, jungle, disco, trance, and techno. With an unwavering passion for music, ALI's sets are a journey through fresh, unheard sounds and tracks that captivate and surprise. ALI's diverse musical repertoire allows for a wide range of experiences, from chill lounge vibes to energetic progressive dance house sets, and the occasional foray into harder techno.

ALI has shared the stage with renowned artists like John Summit, Eli & Fur, Mia Mendi, VNSSA, Max Styler, Palastic, Bijou, and Raffa FL, and has graced venues across Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario.

I like my bass dirty and my house on fire.

Over 25 years ago amidst Calgary's vibrant rave culture, J9's musical journey began, igniting a passion that continues to shape her purpose in life. In 2011, she founded J9Productions, initially captivating audiences with her unique brand of burlesque shows and live music events before transitioning to organizing House music events in 2016, notably the renowned HUMPDay HOUSE Party. 

Driven by a profound connection to music, J9 embarked on her DJing journey in 2022. Since her debut, J9 has graced the decks at prestigious events such as Wicked Woods Music Festival, and has had the honour of opening for esteemed artists like Megan Hamilton, Average Citizens & Father Funk. 

Known for her sensual, groove-filled sets, J9’s preferred sound blends House and Drum & Bass—but she loves playing anything that makes her feel good. From organic house to indie dance and downtempo, her broad musical palette brings depth and energy to every set. She thrives on the coveted opening set time slot, igniting the dance floor and creating the vibe to ensure an unforgettable experience.  

Through the music, J9 aims to evoke profound emotions, foster connection, spread love, positivity, and bring people together, one frequency at a time.

Mother Mary is Alex, a second-generation settler raised in Treaty 7 Territory (Calgary) and, as of last year, living the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples (currently-named Vancouver, BC). 

She’s often smiling and playful in her selections, doling out warpy speed garage cuts and energetic 2-step and breaks, but you’re just as likely to find her layering in heady, higher-tempo bass tracks. Her sets are genre-agnostic, always formed in response to the dance floor. 

When not behind the decks, you can find her settling in to her new city by running seaside, spending time with friends and taking in Vancouver’s thriving local scene.
