the whole biography
Ali Coleman is a New York City–based DJ, producer, and cultural organizer whose relationship with DJ culture began in 1979, emerging from early disco, block parties, and club spaces that centered music as a tool for release and connection. That lineage continues to inform his intuitive, people-centered approach today. As a DJ and producer, Ali’s sound draws from deep, soulful, Afro-influenced, and globally inspired house music, blending classic foundations with forward-facing selections. His work spans clubs, festivals, cultural institutions, and public spaces, adapting seamlessly across contexts while maintaining musical integrity. Ali brings both underground credibility and seasoned professionalism to every room—whether he’s warming up a floor, taking it peak-time, or closing with intention. . In 2023, Ali marked 30 years of professionally bringing communities together through dance, culture, music and inclusion. Ali has hosted events and DJed at some of New York’s top clubs and party spaces such as House of Yes, Nowadays, Cielo, Public Records, Club Shelter, Water Taxi Beach, Santos Party House, Limelight, and many others. He has shared the bill with more than 300 DJs, including Francois K, Natasha Diggs, Rich Medina, Justin Carter, Doc Martin, and hundreds more. In 2017, Ali helped organize and bring about historic change, working with an array of the city’s creative minds to get the Cabaret Law repealed and to institute the first Mayor’s Office of Nightlife. Ali has dedicated his life to being a positive community connector with a flair for bringing people together.Recently at Under the K Bridge, Nowadays, Ki Smith Gallery · often with Jeremy Giros, Bendito, Dj Stormin' Norman, none of them here on Saturday
