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.

This week’s Select mix comes courtesy of a man who has gained a following for his unique grime, UK dubstep and experimental hip-hop influences. When he’s not wearing his DJ/producer hat, Palestine native Sami is the brain behind the Dasam party series, though he curates events that spotlight emerging, forward-thinking talents from both the local and international underground electronic scene.
For Select 353, he brings us an unpredictable club mix of his sound, moving through grime, left-field bass and experimental trap, while making space for some of his own productions, such as ‘Sarmadi’ and ‘Mat3’anish’.
