It's been a minute since I've posted a mix (yeah yeah I know), but this night was too special I couldn't not release it. This is my set straight from Public Works on April 21, 2022 opening right before the juggernaut that is Damian Lazarus. Strap in, take the ride.

Torie’s sound is multifaceted – to say the least. Coming from a global upbringing and current home base in the San Francisco Bay Area, she has been curating sonic adventures as a DJ and event producer for a decade. Torie interweaves elements of breakbeats, house, minimal, dark & driving techno, garage, acid, and drum and bass – balancing a line between heavy-hitting basslines and soulful vocals with ear-catching melodies.

She believes in the power of groove and always plays with one core intention in mind: to bring newfound life to the dancefloor.

– (she lives by the ethos of "i'm just here to play music & do cool shit with my friends").

As a core lead of Inquiry Collective and Inquiry Records, a builder & maker with Burning Man art cars ICARUS and Dusty Rhino, a resident DJ of You’re Welcome SF, and a co-founder of Dance With Haha, Torie draws inspiration from the dusty plains of the playa, the curious explorations of the Mojave desert, the underground dancefloors of SF, & the interstellar endeavors of ICARUS & its motley crew.

Torie has performed with KiNK, Superflu, Justin Martin, Overmono, Maya Jane Coles, Smilk, Anja Schneider, Tale of Us, Patrice Baumel, Marbs, Mikey Lion, Porky and Evan Casey, Rinzen, Dance Spirit, Eskuche, Marques Wyatt, Tycho, KMLN, Sabo, Justin Jay, Hoj, Kevin Knapp, Shiba San, Joeski and more. 

You may have also seen her with renowned crews like Space Cowboys, Distrikt, Ego Trip, and Desert Hearts – at the annual Breakfast of Champions block party on New Year’s Day for six consecutive years – or on the festival circuit at events including Lightning in a Bottle, Outside Lands, EDC Las Vegas, Northern Nights, Desert Hearts, The Untz Festival, Umbrella Weekend, Enigma, and Outside in Equinox. 

In 2025, you can find Torie throwing renegades and pop-ups with the Inquiry crew across California in clubs, deserts, undisclosed locations and beyond… as well as performing in SF, SD, Reno, LA and more.

The idea of brining new, old, international, local, young, veteran, and fresh talent in to our living room, the dancefloor of our favorite SF venues, is what we’re here for, and we’re so happy you’re here to come along. This night’s not about who you are, what you do, where you’re from – it’s about where you are right this moment, who’s next to you, how hard you’re dancing, and how wide you’re smiling. There’s only one you, say YOU’RE WELCOME.

A small town boy at heart, Benjamin was born and raised in Colorado, graduating from college in the small mountain town Durango, CO. With influences of everyone from Sasha to Prince, Whitney Houston to Dj Harvey his sound is best described with two words...lust and love. After making a name for himself behind the decks, playing alongside heavy hitters the world over, and working to throw and host absurd theme parties that were consistently sold out and ample amounts of strange…..he decided it was time to pursue the life of happiness for real, packed his bags, quit his career teaching, and moved out to San Francisco. Since then he’s shared the the bill with names like Damian Lazarus, Honey Dijon, Adam Ten, Sasha, Dj Tennis, James Zabiela, Pete Tong, Polish Ambassador and more. Plus, smashed the stages of Desert Hearts, Lightning In A Bottle, Sunset Campout, Northern Nights, Burning Man, and nearly every club in the city. He’s the man behind ‘You’re Welcome’ which is responsible for the luscious, and vibey The Garden Party, bringing in some old and new favorites from all across the world. His vision, taste, and drive have catapulted him to a consistent name stay in the SF underground.
