Ariel Zetina is a Chicago based artist, focusing in music production, deejaying, and writing. Though her music can be considered techno, she takes inspiration from Chicago house, Belizean genres punta and brukdown, and the queer club scene worldwide. These influences can be heard on 2020’s “MUAs at the End of the World” EP (Femme Culture); 2019’s "Organism" (Majía) and “Shell” (Head Charge); 2017’s “Cyst” (Boukan Records); and on mixes for Rinse FM, Dummy, Truants, and NTS. Her ruthless, cross genre DJs sets have been heard worldwide. She is a resident at the legendary house club Smartbar, and on Discwoman’s roster. Her plays "Pink Milk", "British Honduras Fantasy", "Mechanisms of Fidelity", and "Lovedrug" have been produced in Chicago, New York, Baltimore, and California.

"If you are interested in the future of club and dance music, look no further than Ariel Zetina. A popular rising underground DJ, Zetina has begun making a name for herself in the city’s club venues and across the country (through the power of SoundCloud) for her eclectic and progressive sets. Straightforward hip-hop or bro-oriented EDM are never on the menu during her performances (thank goodness). Instead, listeners and partygoers will be immersed in Zetina’s glitchy, strange, yet totally fun dance music. Zetina aims to use sound and text works to transform club settings and performance spaces, making them more socially inclusive and sonically forward-thinking.This year, Zetina launched an ongoing residency at the Hideout, best known for its iconic dance parties." - Britt Julious, Chicago Tribune
