[Mix] NAP DNB presents NAPCast 189 – Arietta

This week we’ve got another desert dweller in the one like Arietta. Any time a submission comes in from someone from the southwest, they always come with the business. Arietta is no stranger to handling her business either. With over a decade of classical musical training, she lends her ear to the decks with much the same skill and precision as a traditional instrumentalist. Arietta comes heavy with the bass attack and lets is ride it’s way up and down your spine for this hour of heat. Only her careful use of phrasing can release you from this weighty banger. Arietta dabbles in breaks too, so I will be sure to dig deeper into her catalog to get a taste of that goodness to (and so should you, duh)! After you’re done enjoying this, add Arietta to your “watch list” since she’s currently working on her first EP that’s guaranteed to show her passion and purpose through sound. Arietta is also blazing a path of her own using electronic music projects to build social/political awareness around them. All of the biggest ups to her for this move – we need more of this action in our world, and not just for the sake of drum and bass.

EDM Identity: ARTIST SPOTLIGHT || ARIETTA

Back in the beginning of the year, an ID Spotlight hit our inbox that was from one Candelaria Alvarado. Usually, these are more geared for fans, and less so DJs, but I found myself diving into her musical productions and falling in love with her sound. Having been involved in the electronic music scene since 2006, well that was her first party at least, Arietta has made a massive name for herself over the years. With a history stemming in the world of jazz, it was no surprise that she quickly picked up music production and DJing. Drum & Bass is her genre of choice, and you should definitely check out the quality vibe she puts out in her sets in the guest mix below. She has recently relocated from Phoenix to Boston, so we figured what better time than now to chat with her about her work and introduce you all to her today!
