Mai Shoshani, aka NUMAI, is rapidly making waves as a rising star in the New York nightlife scene. Synthesizing her Middle East and Moroccan heritage with her NY upbringing through sound, she crafts worldly, resonant sets drawn from the rich diversity of her roots. She's made major headway with her unique multicultural flavor, and sensual performance energy, spinning alongside industry veterans at hotspots such as Hearsay, Public Hotel, Soho House, Marylou, Ketchy Shuby & Jolene Soundroom.
Growing up in a large Moroccan family, the sound of the goblets drums were ever present. Music was always the mechanism for connection and celebration. From a young age, Mai's love of music was innate. It quickly became her language of choice. Her vehicle to express and convey, her energy and her currency.
NU(MAI) means “let’s go” and it is precisely this spirit of adventure, of freefall, that inspires Mai to continue pushing boundaries, transporting audiences through her DJ sets. The sound of NUMAI interlaces genres, cultures, and moments of time. From Middle eastern electronic, to melodic house, through to the entrancing beats of techno, her eclectic sets harmoniously fuse foreign influence and inspiration. Driven by the rhythm of oriental drums and tribal energies, NUMAI'S sound shakes the hips, stirs the spirit, and connects the soul.
