This week's Exchange was recorded in November 2021 as part of our Full Circle series, which celebrates women in electronic music. DJ, producer and community organiser JADALAREIGN sat down with two of Resident Advisor's staff writers, Kiana Mickles and Nyshka Chandran, at our New York office. 

JADALAREIGN was raised about an hour north of New York City, in a musical household soundtracked by funk, soul, hip-hop and R&B. Growing up in a predominantly white neighbourhood impacted how she operates today—her work prioritises cultivating community, as community wasn't always something she felt she had. 

After playing instruments, studying fashion and ending up in a corporate job, JADALAREIGN became increasingly engaged in music through her side hustle as the music director for an entertainment blog. In 2015, she took her first DJ lesson and felt instantly drawn to the craft. Gradually, she grew more and more immersed in the New York scene. 

Today, JADALAREIGN is a booker for leading New York club Nowadays, using her role heading up the Friday night programming to create more space and opportunity for people of colour in dance music. She also runs a workshop series called SKILLSHARE, which supports other women of colour, as well as queer folks, non-binary people and trans people, wanting to learn about the ins and outs of the music industry. In 2020, she launched In Sessions with Sam Law and FIVEBOI, a digital production camp that, when it first launched, reached around 300 people daily from 30 different countries. 

In this Exchange, JADALAREIGN discusses her work and community projects, how New York's dance music culture has changed in recent years and the importance of the scene's players engaging in honest reflection to increase diversity. She also touches on the value of mentorship for marginalised creatives and what can be done to prevent artists of colour feeling tokenised.

Tracklist:

EX.604 JADALAREIGN

The Irish singer-songwriter and producer turns in a smooth mix of songs that resonated during times of change and heartbreak, with emotive vocal performances, calming instrumentals and romantically-charged lyrics inside.

SORRYMIX28! Sorry's own Tony G (@t_o_n_y_g) closing set at our first Nowadays party <3

"Recently relocated to Chicago, Tony G is a Rochester-born producer/dj with releases on labels like toucan sounds, Eto Ano, and EAT DIS, as well as collaborated with folks like DJ Manny, Bored Lord, Haruka, DJ Delish, Sonia Calico, Max Watts, DJ GIRL, and MoMa Ready. His close listening/open format freak party Giambrone and Co was one of our favorite club nights in NYC — inviting guests like Kiernan Laveaux, Davis Galvin, T.Wan, WTCHCRFT, Sobolik, and Nishkosheh for all night b2bs with Tony himself. Recently, Tony has joined forces with Chicago based DJ and deep midwest talent sold (aka Glorbis) for a new party called Hodgepodge in his new home city. Tony will be making his Nowadays debut with us and we couldn’t be happier to have him on closing duties."

So excited to have Recreational DJ (aka Ryan Vasta) on the show for a LONG overdue Zone transmission that ended up being a legit blast-and-a-half.

Ryan's one of the kindest people I've met in years... His tireless devotion to DIY community, hard work, and palpable love has made 8 Ball feel like a home to me and many others 🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱

Ryan also has a stellar show called Magic 8 on 8 Ball Radio with like 100+ episodes and tons of brilliant guests like @devoye @evelynonthetrack @honey-bun-sounds @bodegabruja @suciaworldwide @boo-lean @latenitesbookclub @bossy_boots @shannon1dj @dee_diggs @escaflowne-iii @umfang @t_o_n_y_g @nextdimensional and yours truly (@nickboydnyc) 🎱
