Crack Mix 509: Coffintexts

Live recording from my closing set at Nowadays on July 8, 2023. A 3-ish hour journey through complex rhythms, drum workouts, bass + breaks, post-dubstep, and some cheeky morning vibes. 

Big ups to @bake-all-caps and @no_sir for their killer sets that night. And a special thanks to @8circuitmusic for working some audio mastering magic.

today on release marks the astronomical end of summer and with that i am putting my first mixtape ‘nothing gold can stay’ into the world

approaching this mix i wanted to grapple with the ineffable emotions i experienced playing and being part of the dancefloor. as the seasons evolve this collection of songs have been my expression of where i have been and where i am going. i channel a magnitude of emotions that are impossible to explain with words. the tracks included are laced with memory, reflecting on love, time spent in nature and with friends, travels overseas, all stitched together amalgamating into an ode to the fading summer sun.  

floating through dreamy and dark corridors with lots of ambient, downtempo, triphop and shoegaze goodness included. tracks from Maara, my bloody valentine, Susumu Yokota, Cocteau Twins, Mazzy Star and more +++

the words can go on but caption now over, fragments of life from the last 6 months are included here -  i hope you enjoy :)

Will Jack (they/them) - fka Novail

Hailing from the Pacific Northwest and now based in Brooklyn, the promoter and resident of Portland’s Switch Dance Party, Will Jack, has been hard at work establishing themself in the queer dance scene. Will Jack has spent the last couple of years behind the scenes of DIY parties as a producer and floor manager all the while promoting nights of their own, studying the craft and honing their skills and philosophy of the rave. As a DJ, Will Jack plays for the time and space delivering multidimensional techno sets as consistently as they do a hot and cruisy house groove. Seen behind the decks in places such as Portland’s Holocene, NY’s Bossa Nova Civic Club, the Chernobyl Warehouse, as well as Brooklyn’s UNTER party and San Francisco’s STANK, Will Jack is a force to keep an eye on with a story to be told.

Notes on the Mix ///
"Big thank you to XOXA for the opportunity to contribute a mix to their series. Being raw and pure is core to my artistic style, so while I strive for quality and perfection, there are moments when I’m imperfect and work to do better. I’m a believer that the moment is always as intended, and while it’s riddled with suffering, it’s when I go against the grain of that suffering that I experience my most meaningful moments of growth. Being a human is messy and hard and because of that, many of us forget how lucky we are. Too many of us are literally fighting to survive. So with this mix, with the holidays, with the violence in Gaza, I hope to share some light, some groove, some horniness, some imperfection, some compassion and an opportunity to do better. I hope all of it comes together in a way that helps you move your body and explore your mind. Thank you for listening."

Ariel Zetina is as charming as she is talented—one of the many reasons she was named "Chicagoan of the Year for Pop Music" by the Chicago Tribune last month. A straight shooter with strong principles, her witty personality shines through on social media and in person. She radiates both best friend and boss energy.

Musically, she wears her heart on her sleeve, infusing her personality into her DJing and production. Her sets and mixes are adventurous, moving from hard to soft to playful with precision. From producing theatre shows and opening for Beyoncé to releasing her RA-recommended debut album on Local Action in 2022, the smartbar resident approaches each venture with meaning and depth. That LP explored the complex experience of being a Belizean-American trans woman, using fiery house and techno to express vulnerability and triumph. 

Ariel Zetina's multifaceted personality is on full display in her RA podcast. There's baile funk-infused techno, crisp drum & bass and plenty of tracks from queer producers from all sorts of scenes, including Michael Cignarale, StrikeStone! and Perfect Lovers. It's a grand statement of power, flow and seriously good taste.
