Zarina @ Bossa Nova Civic Club -- November 2022

@zarina0 (Sarah Zarina Hakani), a Shi'a Muslim multidisciplinary artist from Atlanta, GA and is based in Brooklyn, NY. From MoMA PS1 to her friends' living rooms, Zarina keeps things warm and playful through her hometown selections, blissed-out vocals, and genre-bendy dancefloor explosions.

She volunteers with @8ballcommunity, is the artist-in-residence at @risolab, and co-founded @reconstructedmag, a creative magazine centering queer, Black, and Shi'a Muslims.

In this mix, Zarina guides listeners through a steep trek and gives us the tools to traverse with gentleness when warranted and raw energy when demanded. It's cautious, but it's a celebration. <3

Daytimers x LGBTQIA+ History Month: Zarina

Zarina (Sarah Zarina Hakani) is a Shi'a Muslim multidisciplinary artist from Atlanta, GA, based in Brooklyn, NY. From MoMA PS1 to her friends' backyards, Zarina keeps things warm and playful through her hometown selections, blissed-out vocals, and unpredictable explosions.  

Recorded during Ramadan, this mix holds the complexity, nostalgia, and future-building power of the month. Zarina blends genres with power and purpose. Expect some electro, hard drums, bollywood, breaks, and more as you traverse through a soundscape that calls to the hypnotic stillness, textured reflection, and wacky celebration leading up to Eid. 

Zarina volunteers with @8ballcommunity, is the artist-in-residence at @risolab, co-founded @reconstructedmag, and a partner in party series @lifesavers_nyc.

Lifesavers with K Wata and Zarina @ The Lot Radio 07-14-2023

"Four years ago, I released a mix on Nowruz for the new year, and I listened back to it as a prompt. March 2020 and March 2024 are enveloped by unimaginable displacement and loss, and we are called on to plant and water seeds of resistance as we move into spring. While this mix features my classic deranged three minute blends, they’re contrasted by complex syncopation and seismic switch-ups that more accurately create a container for the unknowns of the new year. Within this mystery, there’s a hyperactive optimism, reflected by the dark but celebratory second half of the mix. Expect acid, dabke, breaks, and the usual genre-busting rumblings."

We’ve paired Zarina's mix with a still from artist Diane Severin Nguyen's film If Revolution is a Sickness (2021). Nguyen's film considers the legacies history leaves behind, and how those legacies—written by winners and losers, the strong and the weak—affect children and young adults' perception of power. We think the film and the mix have a lot in common.
