Chicago-based artist, resident DJ and co-founder of Dark Heaven, Vorp fosters catharsis in blending raw techno, acidic electro, bass heavy breaks, all with left-field underlying nuances. Performing everywhere from intimate bars, clubs, and underground raves, he has shared the booth with artists such as Matrixxman, Sterac, and Nikki Nair.

He immigrated at a young age from Minsk, Belarus to Louisville, KY, where his musical upbringing was rooted in classical piano. Chicago's underground electronic scene and queer community have relentlessly influenced him after 11 years of calling the city his home. 



As an organizer and A&R of Dark Heaven, he aims to facilitate inclusive spaces with thematic events while uplifting underground DJs and artists on the label. Keep an eye out for the label's 3rd release coming out the first week of September, featuring a 4-track split EP with Biemsix and Stecks.
