Hard, fast, and completely divisive - this set was the one I played at the fantastic Curiosity last year. It's been on my mind ever since; the CDJs and mixer were all types of screwed up, but somehow you can barely tell in the playback. Many, many hard trash bangers in this one.

Keerd's mom, this one is for you.

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.

Starting as a guitarist in high school, I fell in love with electronic music at 16 and began attending raves. This passion continued into college, where I discovered DJing. Along with college friends and San Diego community members, I co-founded the Afternoon Umbrella Friends, a collective that allowed me to explore different styles and find my artistic identity.

Playing at Umbrella Weekend is a highlight of my career, and I look forward to delivering uniquely crafted sets in that space. Now primarily focused on music production, I DJ only a few times a year while building my studio and honing my skills. Currently, I am working on releasing my first EPs to share my sound more widely.

My musical journey began with the psychedelic rock of Pink Floyd, the soulful melodies of the Black Pumas, and hip hop beats. These early influences laid the groundwork for my evolving sound. In the electronic realm, the dark bass music of the Deep Dark and Dangerous label and Digital Vagabond shaped my approach to depth and bass. Live electronic artists like Pretty Lights, Griz, Gramatik, Glitch Mob, and Four Tet inspired me to blend live instrumentation with electronic elements. Techno from Berlin, Australia, and Mexico added a dirty, psychedelic edge to my music.


Musical Style:
My house and techno style is a dynamic blend of driving, dark, and psychedelic elements. It pulses with relentless energy, keeping the dance floor moving while creating immersive soundscapes. Progressive elements ensure each track is a journey, evolving and transforming as it unfolds. By bending styles and genres, I push the boundaries of house and techno, integrating diverse influences to create a unique sonic experience that challenges expectations and invites exploration.
