January’s mix is the set I mixed at Tutu Tuesday, recreated as a studio mix (I forgot to turn the recorder on :) ) It’s warm, relaxed, flowy, and deep - at times, an escapism from the wet weather and dark skies, and at times, a reflection of it.

At tutu, we had a surprisingly good turnout despite the crazy downpour, which seemed to end abruptly an hour before doors opened. I think people just felt cooped up and wanted to get out of the house and dance with friends.

This is the first studio mix I’ve made in quite a while, and I was starting to forget how fun these are. This year, I’d like to set aside more time in the future to prioritize making these. Though this is a recreation of a live set, it’s similar to the structure I like working with in studio mixes - an exploration of my range of musical interests, with some ambience and space bookending the beginning and end.

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.
