Maha

Maha is the electrifying musical alias of French-Algerian DJ/producer Maha Benaissa, known for crafting hypnotic soundscapes that bridge North African traditions with contemporary electronic beats. Emerging from Paris' vibrant club scene, she's become a standout act through releases on respected labels like Roche Musique and Violence Records, blending handpan rhythms, Arabic vocals, and meditative basslines into what she calls "nomadic house music." Recent hypnotic singles like "Bad Day" (with its pulsing desert groove) and "Le Monde Est Au Bout De Tes Pieds" (showcasing Francophone lyricism over swirling synods) demonstrate her talent for merging cultural touchstones with festival-ready energy. When not performing at major events like Sonar Festival or crafting atmospheric bangers like "Blue Deep," this globetrotting artist draws inspiration from her dual heritage to create dancefloor magic that feels both ancient and futuristic.
