Magic 8 Episode 72 with Dee Diggs

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!

Metrist - 15 December 2023

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."

LU2K INVITES ZARINA - 08 Juillet 2024

"Log 000023-2241

We woke up from cryo sleep a few weeks back as we arrived to the Tuldorah system. Things have been slow as we adjust to being awake. It's been nice to play Go with Zaid. And Anh is fun to be around, though they sing a lot when doing their chores and it's kind of driving me nuts. Space can be hella boring at times. But today, looking at the planets of Tuldorah in the navigation pane, I felt that sense of wonder that got me into this in the first place.

Log 000341-0953

The year hadn't been very fruitful. We explored yet another planet that ended up being a gas giant. But today, our radar picked up the signal of a previously unidentified rogue planet, which we have named Ortali. It seems to have lined itself up to orbit around the Tuldorah system. This behaviour is fascinating and something we agreed our expedition should research more deeply. We have set the coordinates to Ortali's proximity. While we get there, we'll continue to chart some orbital models and run scans of its surface.

Log - 000405-1444

We haven't seen much from Ortali yet, but we are eager to keep exploring. Its surface is unlike anything we have seen before. In appearance it is chitinous, but upon interaction it is incredibly dense and solid. We have discovered several tendril-like lifeforms that sprout from the surface. They are gelatinous, hairy, and gently ondulate. They are not hostile. We have taken some samples to analyze their composition. I can't wait to see what hides in other regions of Ortali.

ᯊ ೈᾖ ꔘ�ꥄ⨕ㆬ⠨-鯦ᙶၦ

I am deep into the chasm. Things seemed safe enough but I suddenly got separated from Anh and Zaid. I try to make my way back but the path seems to change every time. The life forms are becoming much denser, they seem to be reacting to my presence. I can't shake this feeling of being watched, puppeteered even. It sends shivers down my spine. I feel like Ortali... is alive."

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

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!
