RAVE SCOUT #065: VORP 

@vvvorppp is a Chicago-based artist, DJ, resident, and co-founder of @darkheavenco, an event company curating immersive and thematic events. At a young age, Vorp immigrated from Minsk to Louisville, KY, where his musical upbringing was rooted in classical piano and post-hardcore bands. 

Vorp is not bound to any specific genre, finding catharsis in blending raw techno, acid electro, bass breaks––all with left-field underlying nuances. Chicago's underground electronic scene and queer community have relentlessly influenced him after a decade of calling the city his home. Anticipating the launch of Dark Heaven's record label with a VA compilation and the debut of an EP in 2023, he aims to promote underground artists while fostering a signature sound.
