Juanita's Mix 100 with Ciel @ciel_dj

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. a music maker with too much sincerity and a passion for sampling, film, and leftist politics

Q. What drew you to the music scene in the beginning and where do you hope to see it in the future?
A. Looking back at my life, I think everything from my birth led me on this path towards music. It was my first love. But as an only child, my experience with music growing up was always very solitary. I yearned to be part of a community radio station with Iikeminded music nerds, and it was working for a radio station eventually during my undergraduate that brought me toward DJing and rave culture. Back then I never thought I could do this full time, but once I got the chance to make a living doing this, I realized the scene was far from perfect, in fact it's very exploitative. I hope in the future we can find a way to fairly compensate music makers for the incredible gift of music they bestow upon the world, without becoming beholden to corrupt corporate & military interests. Artists can be hyper individualistic and self-interested, and I hope we can get better at looking out for each other instead of just our own paycheques.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. I wanted to present a different side of myself to international audiences on such a wonderful mix platform. Perhaps people outside of my home city of Toronto are less familiar with my downtempo sets, but it's been a significant part of my wheelhouse for years, and have gained even wider affection from me since I started doing a downtempo party in Toronto last year. Like I always say, 80-100bpm is the most natural tempo for extended human body movements. I also liked the idea of doing a mix that doesn't build in a predictable way, instead it waxes and wanes like the natural rhythm of life. So many of my favourite mixes build and release tension in a way that's very satisfying to listen to, the sounds intensify to a frenzy before disintegrating into nothingness. I wanted to play with that rise and fall and mix downtempo and dub with double time d&b in a non-linear way that is evocative of our most precious memories and tells stories we've only seen in dreams. Downtempo and dub also seemed like the perfect genres to play in the 100th mix for Juanita's, and in the lead up to my fav April holiday. :) I hope the listeners enjoy it.

JADALAREIGN @ The Lot Radio 04-04-2024

The last six months have found me seriously reconsidering my relationship to the dance floors I've grown up on, processing regret, guilt and shame for whatever part I've played in upholding the institutions that are holding us all back. Stark-realizations-I’ve-been-ignoring-for-literal-years type beats. 

This is a recording of me closing out our first weekend Sorry Records party at Nowadays from 3:30am to just after 5am on April 5th 2024. I must admit I kinda blacked out for this set and at first I felt as if I didn't exactly achieve what I set out to do. I love closing parties but must admit I found it particularly tough to DJ the way I want to and find a truly joyful and natural improvisational flow when I’m hosting the party and have been on my feet being social for 7+ hours.

Just like my first set at the club (which is archived as my Spontaneous Affinity mix), I aimed for this set to speak on my personal relationship to this music and the spaces that form around it. While that first set was about looking back, this one found me trying to address the present moment as well as express a genuine hope for the future.
