Ariel Zetina is a Chicago-based DJ and producer whose highly charged techno and house at adventurous speeds has been released by labels like Sweat Equity, Boukan Records and CLUB CHAI. The Smartbar resident has made a name for herself beyond the Chicago club scene through her cross-genre club selections that adapt and reflect the mood of each event she performs at. Her upcoming EP for Majía explores themes such as the body, distance from the ocean, acid house and her roots in Belize. Ariel's mother is from Belize, and Ariel spent a number of summers with her mother's family in Belize City growing up. Her mother's mother is from mainland Belize while her mother's father is from the Belizean cayes in the Caribbean Sea. Originating from mainland Belize, Punta and Brukdown are both musical genres Ariel grew up with and are considered national genres. Because of its place in the Caribbean, soca is huge in Belize.
