Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Hello, I'm a producer and DJ going by the name of Ciel. My real name is Cindy, my pronouns are she/her, and I'm based in Toronto, Canada.

How do you deal with being nervous before a gig? 

Try not think about it :) It doesn't always work, but i find it happens from time to time if I'm really exhausted from not sleeping on tour and my brain has naturally shut off. If I can't stop thinking about it, I will try to select the first track from my vinyl bag and have a vague sense of what Rekordbox playlists I plan to play from. I ad-hoc all my sets because I love picking tracks in response to the audience's energy, but sometimes that is a lot more stressful for me and I find myself doom scrolling the USB. Devising a strategy, even if I end up not following it, does a lot to soothe my anxiety. 

Where do you see yourself musically in 2044?

I don't know what the future holds but I hope to be a full time composer of film and TV scores when I'm in my 50s and no longer want to tour constantly.

If you could have anything on your rider… What would you choose?

An indica-sativa hybrid joint (no tobacco), nice bottle of orange wine, German flat peaches, and a bathroom in the booth (anything is possible, right?)

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

Less celebrity worship, less influencer culture, less fame & money-chasing, more focus on behind-the-scenes folks (whether DJs or producers or labels) who foster community and tirelessly build their local scenes.

Favorite Quote: „Music is not produced in a vacuum; it responds to the conditions in which the composer and performer finds themselves. Hence, a pragmatic understanding of music's societal impact plays a pivotal role in understanding the evolution, sophistication, and spiritual matrix embodied throughout the various transformations and migrations of Black music.“
- The Embodiment of Sound, Satch Hoyt (2022)

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
I'd love to see even more kindness, excitement over other people's success and sharing resources among peers. Participation in nightlife stands in inseparable relation to class oppression, gender and race relations. Work on collectivizing the means of musical production, knowledge and status. Working in nightlife can be challenging. So make sure to work out regularly, drink enough water, take breaks and be mindful.

With this mix MI$$ JUNIA asks for you to please learn more about and consider donating to:

❁ The BSWC (The Black Sex Worker Collective) (https://www.blacksexworkercollective.org/home)

❁ Hydra Café (https://www.hydra-berlin.de/cafe)

The rights of sex workers – especially Black, trans and other severely marginalized populations – are constantly under attack, with state and police repression as well as precarious living conditions being on the daily agenda. Our communities are not immune to harmful SWERF [Sex Worker-Exclusionary Radical Feminist] rhetoric and sentiments which is why I want to keep giving valuable institutions such as The BSWC and the Hydra Café visibility.

@elmosquetero nos ha dedicado nuestra cuarta publicación con una sesión que comienza con ritmos eclécticos, downtempo, hasta ritmos más club con rasgos de Indie Dance, rock y disco. Con producciones de Youkounkoun, Leonor, Mr BC, Arabian Panther, Mijo, Theus Mago o Iñigo Vontier, entre otros.  

"Traté de seguir un hilo conductor de principio a fin sin ser monótono. Mi objetivo era jugar con los contrastes: alternar lo dulce con lo mas duro. Podría decir que este set es ecléctico, mitad espontáneo y preparado que trata de borrar las barreras, y fronteras, esquemas pre establecidos o definidos." 

Diego Mouchet es un DJ, guitarrista y cantante, franco-boliviano amante de todo tipo de música electrónica. Vivió en La Paz, Toulouse, México D.F, Buenos Aires y Lyon antes de llegar Paris. Forma parte del sello alemán HEARec, como Director Artístico, y ha estado organizando y tocando en eventos de Francia y Bélgica durante todo 2019 y principios de 2020.

This super mix comes with productions by Youkounkoun, Leonor, Mr BC, Arabian Panther, Mijo, Theus Mago or Iñigo Vontier, among others.  

"I tried to follow a common thread from beginning to end without being monotonous. My aim was to play with contrasts: to alternate the sweet with the harder. I could say that this set is eclectic, half spontaneous and half prepared, trying to erase barriers, and borders, pre-established or defined schemes". 

Diego Mouchet is a French-Bolivian DJ, guitarist and singer, lover of all kinds of electronic music. He has lived in La Paz, Toulouse, Mexico City, Buenos Aires and Lyon before arriving in Paris.
