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!

In a brand new Rhythmic Culture podcast, guest curator ZULI shines a light on Cairo-raised/Berlin-based artist Assyouti.

ZULI: "Assyouti was an obvious choice for me; his knowledge of music spans an extremely wide range of genres and I've seen him go b2b with absolutely anyone in any context and deliver every single time; he's a proper DJ. The guy lives and breathes music, so the list of accolades already under his belt at only 24 years of age (as both a DJ and producer) come as no surprise to me or anyone who knows him. Definitely one of the most promising young names to come out of Cairo."

We continue our six week run of weekly SORRYMIXs with an absolute barnstormer set from "singer, seamstress, dj, and party girl" Maenad (@alana_maenad) recorded live from 7am to 10am at @tossdbk in Brooklyn back in July. 

I met Alana on the internet back when she was living in Pittsburgh. We bonded early over Jimmy Buffett, house history, and big vocal dance tracks. She's since relocated to New York City and I've really enjoyed getting to know her and her boyfriend Gabriel ever since. We did a super fun episode of BOYDZONE together on @8-ballradio but I had somehow never seen her DJ for a crowd until this set that just destroyed me it was so good 😊

tossd is a really killer new-ish DIY party run by Will Jack (@willjackthedj) and Perfect Health (@perfecthealth) that has been putting together some super sweet and intentional local focused lineups lately that are a real treat. I was thoroughly impressed by the scope and attention to detail of their party and absolutely blown away by Alana's joyous butt movin powerhouse of a set, paired with great sound, wicked lighting by pal @violet_flux, and a much appreciated padded dancefloor. Many thanks to Will and Gio for being down to let us host this recording as well - highly encourage supporting tossd's future parties (got one on 9.28 with a sick lineup! https://ra.co/events/2001450).

Now a Pittsburgh resident, she continues her lifelong journey of communicating through the sounds of the mother drum.

This two hour mix is a recording of her fantastic opening set from January of 2020. She never fails to perfectly capture the moment with her style and flawless programming.  Enjoy!
