Staff WriterThe 299th edition of the Four Four Local Selection is coming in hot from Dublin-based multi-instrumentalist, DJ and producer Ali PJ. This contribution is a fine showcase of the upcomers’ refined taste, which incorporates bustling house-oriented basslines and uplifting, playful vocals throughout.
With a relatively short period of time, Ali PJ has made a strong mark through her involvement in Dublin’s electronic dance music scene. She first gained attention following a standout DJ set on RTÉ 2FM’s The Bunker Sessions late last year, and steadily built on that momentum with appearances at a range of venues including Tengu, Index, and The Workman’s Club.
In addition to her performances, she founded the BIMM DJ Society last year, which is quite an impressive accolade in itself. Further cementing her presence within Dublin’s club circuit. A personal highlight so far has been her debut at Block, where she supported IDEMI during their Irish debut.
Ali’s groove-driven sets blend classic house tracks with a contemporary edge, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly current. Guided by instinctive, intuitive track selection and a seamless sense of flow, weaving together an array of vocal-driven EDM influences, punchy basslines, and carefully crafted melodic hooks. Not to mention, this mix features one of her own unreleased tracks towards the end of the recording – so do be sure to keep an ear out! The result is a dynamic, immersive mix that reflects her evolving sound and acts as a strong signal for a big 2026.
