North London-born, Brazilian-British, Bristol-based artist AÆE aka Jair makes “Percussive club slammers and Baile Funk movers” that are helping to fuel the Brazilian-British connection. 

The inspiration behind AÆE’s musical heritage comes from his father & family from Brazil who live in Salvador, Bahia—delving into the different genres from the country including Samba & Bossa Nova to Baile Funk he aims to take you on a journey through the different styles and find a connection between that and the electronic dance music of the UK. 

With his SWU.FM residency and releases on labels such as More Time Records, RKS & XXIII his accolades go far and wide from a strong summer of performances, including warming up for CASISDEAD at Love Saves The Day, playing 4 shows across Glastonbury Festival B2B with Dismantle, Sam Interface, Fonzo & DJ ADHD to helping organise and perform at his boutique festival, Madruga, headlined by Joy Orbison to DJs such as Ahadadream, Peggy Gou, Laurent Garnier & Skream playing his music all around the world.

Being a part of Bristol-based multi-genre music brand ESO as well as one of the founders of Madruga Festival, AÆE has focused his career on sharing different musical cultures and genres through the event space and now sets out to explore his musical heritage through his own music and shows.
