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!

Sad Song - Club Eat (S4M23 Remix)

"I didn't see myself in French electronic music." The Parisian artist talks about representation, Southern rap and Notting Hill Carnival's enduring influence on her music live from C2C Festival.

Crystelle Oyiri, the artist otherwise known as Crystallmess, has had a circuitous route through dance music. In this Exchange recorded live at C2C Festival with Whitney Wei, the  Ivoirian-Guadeloupean artist discusses how she never saw herself represented in French techno, where artists like Daft Punk reigned supreme. "When you don't see yourself, you can't tell yourself that [music] is what you want to do," she reflects. Instead, she fell in love with Southern rap and artists like DJ Screw, who ignited her passion for music before she began experimenting with beats for the dance floor.

Today, Oyiri is a full-time electronic music artist. A resident of NTS radio, she's also released on labels like PAN and created original productions for films and fashion brands, including Ottolinger. Her unique production style combines melodic techno, afro-trance, abrasive dancehall and what she calls "synthetic music"—genre-fluid mixes that switch effortlessly between pummeling techno cuts, high-speed electro and melodic trance. Listen to the conversation in full.

COMA is a collaborative mix series from the Global URL Nation, evolving every two months through contributions from GUN members. Each episode explores a sentient code that blurs the line between human and machine, revealing a reality transformed by COMA. This digital entity challenges our perceptions of consciousness and identity in a world where the virtual and organic collide. Through each mix, COMA forges a connection between thought and machine, immersing us in a symbiosis of sound and ideas, ultimately asking: who controls whom?&ampquot;
This episode&amp#39;s collaborator is muein, internet researcher, sculptor, and musician based in nyc.
