Broadcast live on DUBLAB 5.20.21

Cafe Ale is the project of Ale Cohen, a musician and producer based in Los Angeles. His work over the years includes the bands Pharaohs, Psychic Powers and Languis as well as numerous collaborations and production work with a wide range of artists. Cafe Ale was borne out of Ale’s studio, named affectionately by his friend Diego (aka Suzanne Kraft) who was offered a cup of coffee from Ale every time he visited.

At first Cafe Ale was simply a vehicle to showcase the work created in the studio by Ale and many of his friends. Although this continues to be the case, it has also turned into Ale’s “solo” project, ultimately being a mix of the two. Cafe Ale draws inspiration from dance, balearic, electronic, ’60s, post punk and experimental music. As done from its first release on Cooper Saver’s Far Away label, each release is masquerading as a mix, something like a performance from the legendary Cafe Del Mar in Ibiza known for its famous mixtapes.
