— A whole week lost to the trip. Such a shame.
— What matters is that it’s over. At least we got to stay in France a bit longer. Don’t worry, I’ve already got us two train tickets to Bastogne. The train leaves tonight.

“Chocolate mines, waffles, and Trappist ale — that’s what we take pride in and our reason to live,” Needle's grandma used to say. She was born and raised in a southern province of Belgium. Two city kids obsessed with rhythm would come here to catch their breath after the chaos of urban life. The moment the train hissed in relief as it arrived, a guy and a girl jumped onto the platform, rolling their suitcases and making silly faces at each other.

— Now it’s just nature and no internet! We just need to drive the last leg.
— Yesss! We’ll admire castles and go on long walks. Maybe even find an old gramophone. Hee-hee!

People used to say that for Needle and Plate, it was enough just to be together. It didn’t really matter what they were into — the “Beat ’em up” showdown, long discussions, food, sleep, or hunting for hidden gems. That mutual glow made everything feel special.

Ale Mayer is an Argentine DJ and producer based in Madrid. After a long period dedicated to semi-professional rugby, he decided to leave his sports career behind to fully dedicate himself to his true passion: electronic music. From an early age, Ale was a loyal lover of techno, although it wasn't until he was 22 that he began to channel his creativity and musical sensibility through mixing and production.

His sound is influenced by both the roots of Detroit techno and current techno, with influences such as Robert Hood and Kevin Saunderson, as well as contemporary figures such as Adam Beyer, Layton Giordani, Nicolás Taboada, Andrés Campo, among others. Furthermore, Ale feels deeply connected to the more melodic aspects of the genre, exploring introspective atmospheres and lower BPM tempos. This combination of influences allows him to create a unique offering, with its own essence that captures the best of each style.

Her main goal as an artist is to create experiences that connect emotionally with clubbers, taking them on a journey of sensations that range from euphoria to drama to introspection. This vision is reflected in both her sets and her productions, which will be released throughout 2025.

On the Madrid scene, Ale has established herself with repeated appearances at parties such as Icebox Club at Sala X Private, Prisma at the legendary Marula Club, Goya Social Club, Hangar 48, and other appearances in venues across the capital.

She is also part of Katarsis Electrónica, a multicultural collective that views music and dance as an ancestral ritual of spiritual connection. Katarsis has organized events in iconic venues such as LAB the Club, Café Berlín, and Hangar 48, and recently launched her own record label, Katarsis Musik, aimed at highlighting prominent artists from Spain and Latin America.

As a personal project, Ale is one of the founders of Monochromatic Sessions, a YouTube channel dedicated to promoting emerging (and not-so-emerging) talent, with the goal of offering quality musical content and expanding the underground electronic music scene. Through this project, he also embarked on his first experiences as a promoter, organizing parties in collaboration with other collectives, thus strengthening his presence in the local scene by creating spaces where the community can resonate to the rhythm of fresh and authentic offerings.
