ALAY is fast becoming known for her ability to blend deep, soulful melodies with driving techno beats, creating a musical journey that soothes the mind and moves the body. Her sets are a dynamic mix of captivating and energetic sounds, designed to transport listeners to a different realm, where genres merge into a transformative sonic experience.

A passionate advocate for female artists, she is committed to support diversity behind the decks and views electronic music as a playground for everyone.
Alongside holding a residency at Nordstern, Switzerland’s premier club and one of Europe’s top ten venues, Her journey has taken her to international stages at iconic venues including a summer long residency at AKASHA in Ibiza for 2025, Pacha Ibiza, The Penthouse in Dubai, and major events such as Terrazzza and ZOA Open Air Festival. ALAY has shared the stage with renowned artists such as Solomun, Cassian, Chris Avantgarde, KAS:ST, Kevin de Vries, Layla Benitez, Magit Cacoon, Massano, Recondite, Agents of Time and many more.

ALAY’s love for music started early, shaped by the sounds of piano and ballet, bridging her Milan and São Paulo roots. A few years ago in Zurich, she rekindled this passion, spending countless hours in the studio producing music that combines melodic techno with melodies inspired by her heritage. Her releases have come on Insomniacs IN/Rotation, MDLBEAST’s MAHOOL label and Ame Records with support coming from Deer Jade / Magit Cacoon / Laherte / Joris Voorn / Eelke Kleijn / Yotto / ALOK & more.

For her Prima Lux mix, ALAY takes a deep dive through melodic textures, rolling grooves, and peak-time energy. The journey weaves between hypnotic progressive cuts, raw house energy, and driving techno layers—balancing classic influences with fresh underground sounds. Expect a blend of emotive melodies, intricate percussion, and moments built for the dancefloor, featuring music from Maceo Plex, Lane 8, and Innellea, alongside several unreleased originals from Alay that push the mix forward with a unique signature.
