Mae is an underground electronica artist who has been active since the beginning. Her dynamic mixes of electronica, House, Breaks, EBM (Electronic Body Music) and Hard Techno have earned her a reputation for subtle mixing skills. The deck goddess got into the music scene by accident—she was working in a Fashion scene and would always put on a playlist of eclectic tunes during shoots. Soon, fashion insiders were on to her unique taste in music. This music lover is also the founder of NON NON NON-Academy the original queer underground collective that combines music, art, fashion and certified good times. Mae, who’s part of the LGBTQIA community, wanted to create a safe space for people like her by using music as a common denominator. @nonnonnonradio

"Born in 91’, growing up surrounded by the vast open spaces of Vietnam's countryside, the gloomy yet energetic colors and sounds of nature flowed over into my music, creating adventures on the dance floors.
With a mix of various genres, using techno, indie dance, electronica, downtempo, and more, I wish to bring ravers deep impressions and new concepts of beauty in contemporary music. Let your soul sink into a bustling dance and take you to another land with MANIKK."

Recorded Live at MITEINANDER / みんなで at The Lighthouse 11/04/2021
Sodom & Gomorrah
Music from the Ancient Future.
A journey of dualities. Darkness within Light and Light within Darkness. A story transcending languages, searching for the edge of the infinite. Present in the ever-changing now.
A shared individual experience of sound and vision. We are together alone and alone together, vibrating and oscillating until all returns to dust.
One mind with two bodies. Synergy of four hands for one purpose.
