Having first cut her teeth playing for friends at London house parties before graduating to the equally intimate confines of speakeasies and small clubs, the journey of Jordanian DJ, Maya, has led her to be a proponent of underground genres and subgenres.
While she maintains her base in the English capital, Maya’s musical soul is still very much back home, as she channels her global influences into Jordan’s own burgeoning electronic music scene. This dedication extends to her role as co-founder of naqd, a popular Amman-based party series born from the collective vision of three friends. With a shared commitment to building community, naqd has become celebrated for fostering an atmosphere of intimacy and radical inclusivity within the city's nightlife.
For her exclusive set for the latest episode of SceneNoise’s long-running Select series, Maya starts off with a focused energy that showcases breakbeat-heavy electro, characterised by nostalgic 90s and early-2000s breaks and layered with cosmic synthesisers. It then shifts subtly, moving into a section defined by deeper, percussion-driven sounds, before finally dissolving into the stripped-back, hypnotic rhythm of minimal house. Standout tracks in this narrative-driven sonic journey include Fantastic Man's 'I Love You Bab', Boom Generation's 'Somefunkydrum', Conan’s 'Liga (Nesta Remix)', and Neighbour’s 'Ordinary Unusual’, offering a snapshot of Maya's curatorial vision.

In this episode of SceneNoise’s mix series, Select, we have Cherry Lee, a staple in LA’s DIY electronic landscape and the creative force behind the underground event series Club Cherie. She is also a resident of Pegasus ,and a producer and resident of Incalls Only.
Cherry’s sets are often unplanned, inherently spontaneous and unpredictable, presenting a dance-centric melting pot of multi-cultural sounds, global influences and irresistible grooves all wrapped in high BPMs.
Her Select mix initially starts off as a casual afternoon jam, then swiftly turns into an purely unadulterated trip through house, techno and dubstep, packed with eclectic cuts like ‘Save the Children’ (Detroit Mix) by Floorplan and Robert Hood, and ‘Don’t Diss the 909’ by Rory Marshall, as well as some of her signature edits.
