Arts of the Working Class teamed up with Chicago based artist Ariel Zetina to bring you this week's playlist of soft ambient and bouncing techno to carry you through the highs and lows of COVID-19 lockdown week three.
Zetina's playlist, Fuschia, opens with a lo-fi ambient track from Ana Roxanne, features a moody guest appearance from London's Shygirl and includes a track from Alice Coltrane's classic 1972 album World Galaxy. Be sure to check out "Compact Mirrors at the Bottom of the Sea" off Zetina's new EP MUA at the End of the World, which came out last month on Femme Culture.
“Fuchsia is soft and bright. Ambient music and dance music keep me grounded, so I tried to marry two genres that seemingly don't relate to each other.” - A.Z.
