MAYILOVESUMMER

Ananda May AKA mayilovesummer—a New York-based DJ, event producer, and co-founding member of Hybrid Identity @hybrididentity - a podcast and event series highlighting experimental sides of techno and ambient, and promoting gender balance in the electronic music industry.
As a musician, they spin a mix of dark, hypnotic, broken beat techno, experimental, and ambient — including references to their roots, by mixing in sounds inspired by Vaishnavism and Eastern sonic patterns. As a vibe curator and culture creator, they aim to establish diverse and inclusive spaces that allow for shared cathartic experiences, while centering and celebrating queer, trans, and female bodies. Russia-born and raised, they know the true meaning of community as resistance. Their work is driven by the belief that dance floors can become spaces of collective healing, cultural exchange, and radical belonging, where experimentation, vulnerability, and connection are not only welcomed but essential.
