Enjoy this new mix from our ravey and wavy Chicago baby @ARIELZETINA ahead of Papi Dreams on Friday October 18th in Brooklyn. We caught up with Ariel in Chicago with a few questions of our own. 

PJ: What would be your favourite venue, past or present, to DJ at?
AZ: My dream is to go on Rihanna’s world tour and hit Jacksonville, FL (I grew up right outside of it) and Belize City, Belize (where my mom’s family is from)! 

PJ: You just DJ’d four nights in a row — what are you up to on your day off?
AZ: I kept telling everyone I pretty exclusively spent August and September trying out new recipes, watching ANTM, and making music while I wasn’t deejaying! Recently I’ve been watching lots of cute anime when I’m not deejaying though. 

PJ: Whats your favourite environment to produce music in?
AZ: I produce almost all of my music from my bedroom studio. I think there is a privacy and intimacy I can achieve there. But I think I might feel differently if I had my own studio because having a bedroom studio comes with lots of challenges.

PJ: Thoughts on deep dish pizza?
AZ: So thin crust is actually the true authentic Chicago pizza!! Most deep dish is awful and unseasoned but I really like Pequod’s, it’s definitely the deep dish that goes all the way off.
