If all you know about Ibiza is that a bunch of DJs play and basically live there every summer (except last summer.and this summer) then you might be surprised to know that the world-famous Balearic party island is also home to a football club, UD Ibiza. The team was recently the subject of a five-part documentary,
Club Ibiza: The Sessions, for which electronic titan Carl Cox one of Ibiza s much-beloved former DJ residents created the title track, “Sand, Moon & Stars.” It doesn’t take long for this track to transport you beachside at sunset with its shakers and glittering arpeggios, while expansive synth strings in the background create a visceral, almost panoramic effect you see and feel the sand encrusting your feet, the ocean spray on your face, the deep rhythm in your stomach, and the unfettered joy of everyone around you as the giant ball in the sky dips below the horizon.
While at FIU, Aronin made her introduction to dance music.
“When I was around 19 or 20, I discovered Miami Music Week. So I quit my waitressing job the day Music Week ended and started pursuing PR,” Aronin says. “From PR, I started doing events, and from events, I started working in nightclubs.”
Throughout her college years, Aronin held various positions across the nightlife scene. She was a promoter for Bardot s Slap & Tickle party and produced merchandise for III Points. Naturally, in that environment, she found her way behind the decks.
Aronin worked her way up to a residency at Bardot, where she hosted Yo! Yo! Girl! The party featured an all-female lineup whom Aronin personally taught how to DJ. She would also play III Points in 2015 and 2016 and then Ultra Music Festival in 2017 all while hustling to support herself.
