"Every opportunity to learn something new is what's going to grow your craft as an artist." The Toronto star talks discipline and gaining self-confidence as a producer.

Cindy Li, AKA Ciel, always seems to be one step ahead. The label head, DJ, producer and activist has a hard-won career that dance music producers dream of—when she's not playing underground institutions across the globe, maintaining radio residencies, planning her own parties or collaborating with her favourite artists, she's thinking about what's next. "I'm the type of person that I'll stay up trying to finish everything rather than going to bed knowing that I didn't finish everything on my list," she tells RA's Nyshka Chandran in this week's episode.

The Toronto resident is a conservatory-trained pianist who uses the discipline she learnt from a lifetime of lessons to balance DJing and production. "For me, it is challenging to juggle both because they use very different parts of my brain," she describes. A deep digger whose love for atmospheric textures and '90s grooves influences her fresh take on UKG, tech-house and jungle, Li has been putting out music since 2017. She has various EPs and singles under her name, plus several joint releases with the likes of Dan Only, D.Tiffany and Priori but says she didn't always have the confidence for a solo full-length.

"I never thought I could write an album," she admits. But after playing live for the first time at MUTEK Montréal in 2021, that changed, leading to the 2023 release of Homesick, her debut album. "Don't ever let fear influence your decision-making," she says, describing how that show pushed her to overcome lingering doubts in the studio.

Fake Rust is a three track EP that weaves together Middle Eastern instruments, Latin influences, and hints of tribal rhythm.

The title Fake Rust came from a trip I took with artist and dear friend Jacqueline L. Palma and her daughter to the desert in Coahuila. There, we scanned stones covered in lichen. At first glance, the textures looked like rust, but in truth they were alive, quietly transforming the surface of the rocks. That illusion stayed with me: something appearing aged or corroded, but actually vibrant and breathing.

This EP carries that same paradox (raw, percussive, and earthy), yet built for movement, connection, and energy. Fake Rust is a reminder that what looks like decay can instead be growth, and that the dancefloor, like the desert, is full of hidden life.

This two-track EP blends electronic music with the rich sonic heritage of Peru. Featuring sampled vocals and traditional Peruvian sounds, each track pays tribute to the country's cultural roots. The main track, "Doña", stands out with a powerful vocal sample from the Peruvian Amazon, creating a deep and evocative sonic journey — a meeting point between the ancestral and the contemporary.
