Burning Man this year was unlike any other. The ups and downs from the weather and flooding/mud were tremendous challenges, but the journey was nonetheless incredible and I met so many wonderful souls along the way. A huge thank you to the Sonic Soul Tribe (https://soundcloud.com/sonic-soul-tribe-839348601) for hosting me on Tuesday night alongside house legends and for giving me the opportunity to bring some big stage energy, and for sharing the recording of my set!

I can't wait until December 1st when the Sonic Soul Tribe returns to New York City for another amazing event (more details to come)! Until then, enjoy this journey through time and space from the best party in the galaxy!

--- Save Berlin's Club Culture in Quarantine --- https://www.betterplace.org/de/projects/77946-save-berlin-s-club-culture-in-quarantine

Berlin Club Culture is facing the biggest challenge in its history. On Friday, the 13th of March, all of Berlin´s nightlife was officially shut down to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Since then, about 9000 employees, as well as tens of thousands of artists have been without work and wages, and the existence of many of the places that give Berlin its identity is threatened.
As a reaction to the closing of all Berlin clubs and to the rest of the world being in quarantine, Berlin is showing its support and solidarity by bringing the biggest possible digital club to your home.

1. Where did you record the podcast? And how did you feel?
The last 9 weeks I have been staying at home, mainly inside, just like most people out there and like most people I personally know. Actually I did not even find missing going outside the biggest issue. I threw myself into making music right away after we came back on one of the last flights out of Istanbul, heading straight into lockdown. The first couple of weeks I so much appreciated the freedom to just make music nonstop with the fewest distractions as long as I can remember. In the beginning there was something energetic about the whole situation, some of you may know what I’m talking about. But  others experienced it differently and  I also suspected that it might not stay hyper forever, as the constant flow of changing news indicated that things could always get worse and that literally anything was possible.
I realise that living in Berlin and having a nice home with a sufficient studio setup is really lucky and a huge privilege, I’m very grateful for that. However, recently my thoughts started drifting towards more worrying aspects of the future more and more often. It takes more energy to stay positive all the time compared to in the beginning. It was like "wow, this is happening!". Right now it's like "Oh, this actually happened" and no one can tell wether we’ll get back together for dancing late 2020 or late 2021.
Actually this is the mix of feelings and thoughts I channeled into this particular recording. It’s compiled out of tracks I collected since the time when Corona hit town early March. Subsequently, this mix turned out very different to the last one I recorded for Anomaly a few weeks ago, when dancing in a packed club was still a clear memory.

2. Tell us a bit about how Covid-19 changed your artist life.
I was thinking a lot about wether the pressure to make the best out of the time in lockdown was a constructive kind of pressure and wether I should fully give into it or rather read more books and stuff like that instead. I decided on trying to channel that energy as well as I could for focusing on production. I really wanted to be able to look back at this time and say that at least I was productive. Recently I reflected and was almost surprised to find that I finished 5 remixes in this time and also two podcasts, including this one for UnitedWeDream. That’s a lot more stuff than what I would usually even attempt to accomplish in 9 weeks. The only thing I didn’t feel like doing yet was video streaming. But it looks like that might change soon, too.
Besides continuing to make as much music as I can, I’m also working on not losing faith and get prepared for the next steps towards a life after Corona lockdown as well as I can.

David Mayer presents United We Stream Podcast Nr. 004

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.

Surprise! Lexi and Duncan are married!
