Ays's heartfelt selections blur the lines between dancefloor devotion and deep listening. She can play across an eclectic mix of disco, boogie, jazz, house, Afro and Brazilian or play straight up house sets, always guided by a love of musical storytelling and captivating vocal tracks. As a predominantly vinyl DJ, she skilfully traverses sounds and scenes while feeding off the energy of the dancers in front of her.

From her base in Rotterdam, Ays began her DJ journey through the world of listening sessions where she found inspiration in the quiet intensity of attentive audiences. She eventually leaned into more danceable sounds without sacrificing
musical richness and quickly gained recognition, landing her first bookings in 2022. Since then, she has doubled down on her craft and now plays notable events around Europe like Rainbow Disco Club, Drift Festival, Nuit Sonores, Lowlands Festival,
Kappa Futur, and North Sea Jazz.

Alongside Kuriosa, Ays organises Love Transmission, an intimate bi-monthly disco
night in Rotterdam that is dedicated to digging deep and amplifying soulful, foundational dance sound from the 70s and 80s. She also hosts All Kinds of Joy on Operator Radio, which is another chance for her to delve deep into a wide array of the music she loves, and occasionally works at the well-respected Offbeat Records.

Through her always eclectic but coherent sets, Ays brings a subtle celebration, unforgettable warmth and deep sense of joy to every space she plays.
