On the down-low, Jalé might just be Melbourne’s best DJ. Not that she’d ever say that about herself—she keeps her practise pretty low key. If you ask some of her closest friends, Melbourne’s Club ESC crew, they’ll tell you that she came out of nowhere one day and played one of the sickest sets they’d ever seen. That was just over a year ago. Since then, she’s played with Venus X, Asmara and Oscar Key Sung.
The thing about Jalé is her sense of timing: everything she does feels perfect for this moment, right now. It almost begs the question; is she even real? TBH we’re still not sure, but she did make this mix for us, so sign point to yes.
“I’ve been inspired by rave culture and how kids are now throwing their own parties, and creating their own safe spaces as a sign of rebellion against law enforcement,” she told i-D, “I selected tracks that felt disruptive and difficult to listen to with plenty of distortion and static.” Press play, and get to know your new musical crush.
