Name: Ariel Zetina (@arielzetina)
Pronouns: she/her
Location: Chicago, IL
 
Influences: the queer Chicago club scene mostly, and all the queer club scenes in other cities that are our own little transnational community. My mom is Belizean so Belizean music is super influential on me. And I love anything with a kickdrum tbh.
 
Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: Rumors (@rumorschi), my collective in Chicago that I co-founded and run with an amazing group of other curators-we also run a mix series. I’m also a resident DJ at Smartbar for almost 6 years now, and I run a party at Hideout in Chicago called Ariel’s Party. I’m a part of the roster at Discwoman as well.

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
I think the goal in deejaying and producing should be to deejay like no one else, produce like no one else, and take your time. And put the work in!

Magic 8 Episode 107 - 6/29/24

Im stoked to have finally had Drupe Jam, the third member of NYC's own Ladiez Drink Free, on the show. Drupe Jam is such a fun DJ, always pulling out surprises. 

Recreational DJ started out with an hour of groovy house tunes, all from New York DJs and labels. Drupe Jam took over the second hour with Spanish-language post-punk, pop, and dance grooves.

Magic 8 Episode 107 with Drupe Jam

hailing from Berlin, dj lealucifer brings a diverse selection of cunty underground club music, blending atmospheric, breakbeat and bassline-heavy trax in her sets.

Introduce yourself:

Just your local NYC nightlife dinosaur, fossilized and fermented. Still slaying though.



What was your inspiration for this mix:

I’ve been working in Upstate New York this year, where I have a monthly residency at this awesome little cocktail bar called Martine. All the local DJs play there. I’ve done almost exclusively 120-130 bpm bitchy house music sets, open to close. It’s been a nice change up from my usual style in NYC. I made this mix to showcase this new side of me. There’s a different pace of living up here and I love making mixes based on the different regional styles and genres I’m around. Some of the parties I’ve enjoyed so far are Sole Rehab, Buddy Buddy, and Pep Rally in Toronto.



Favorite DJs of all time:

Joey Beltram, Leonce, Lakuti, Donis, MORENXXX, L-Vis 1990, Jubilee, Anna Morgan, AceMo, X-Coast, Bok Bok to name a few



If we were going to a party and needed to get the pre-game turned up what would be the song you play?:  

02-52-03 by RP Boo



Where was the first place you played?
 Bossa Nova Civic Club, always and forever



In and outs for 2024:



In:
The Killer
Universal Healthcare
Tuition Free College
Rose Hip Oil
Monogamy



Out:
Brat
Red 40

Advice to the new upcoming DJs:
It’s about being heard not being seen.



What's next for you in 2025?:
I got accepted to a Psych NP program back in the city starting this Fall. In the meantime I’m just DJing, making music, working in the psych ward, publishing research, living my best Hannah Montana lifestyle
