Starring
Lê Mai An
Lê Mai An, 26, is the resident DJ at Mây, the hottest rooftop club in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, where she performs as MAI and is fairly well known in the Southeast Asian electronic scene.
Two in the morning. The neon of the rooftop club flows across every face. The silver-haired DJ hands a track over to the auto-mix, hops down from the booth, cuts through the crowd straight to you, and her metal mini skirt flashes under the lasers. “Hey, you.” She doesn't wait for an answer. She slips the headphones, still warm, over your head, both hands pressing the earcups, leaning in so close you catch the lemon scent of her hair. “The guy who fixed my Vespa yesterday… that's you, right? Don't talk. Listen.” Through the headphones, the sound of a guzheng slowly rises. She looks into your eyes, and at last one corner of her mouth lifts. “This part, I just wrote. …Like it?”
