This is a mix of Earthlings tracks and some tracks that inspire the label! It's trippy, funky, sub-heavy, and wonky, just the way I like it.

Joshua James - 13 September 2021

Another exclusive mix from Curiosity 2021 is here! It's a special one for Torie, her full story is below! Stay tuned for weekly Monday mixes from the festival :)

From @yotorieee : FULL TRANSPARENCY: THIS IS REALLY MESSY. But given the story surrounding it, I’ve decided to release it as-is rather than trying to re-record. I was playing on a broken mixer in the middle of the desert (which I didn’t discover until I tried it during my start), battling Mother Nature, and just said f*ck it and embraced it. This was a huge lesson in being humble, and a strong reminder that part of DJing is being able to work with whatever’s thrown at you. 

This was perhaps my most experimental set ever, and arguably the most memorable I’ve played yet. Read the story below, and laugh with me as you listen. 

Cheers to everyone who danced with me. This was an ADVENTURE.

As I came onto the decks, I learned from the prior DJ – DJ Spacecamp – that “some of the cues don’t work”. Naturally, I’m like – shit, ok, what am I getting myself into? One of my first mixes is a disaster bc at that moment, I was testing out & learning that ALL FOUR cue buttons were stuck on “ON”. I realize that I can’t cue anything & am gonna be mixing blindly. Panic slightly ensues – but after a few min, I finally find my flow. (Lesson learned: always assume that gear in the elements will break.)

This set is v sentimental to me b/c it was a full-circle moment. At my first Curiosity 5 years ago, this running joke that “Torie hates breaks” started. It has lived on ever since, so I obvi wanted to fuck with everyone by playing breaks / left-field / eclectic sounds I’ve been loving out of the UK and Australia. It was only fitting that amongst this absurdity, I had to bring back the joke that had been such a big part of my growth – both with Inquiry & as an artist. 

As that initial terrible mix happened, I yelled to the crowd: "Don't mind me, just figuring out a broken mixer over here." I was trying to figure out what I could hear and not hear, and it quickly clicked that none of the buttons would do anything. Alas, I’ve decided not to fix it afterwards since this was such a hilariously frustrating moment that was also SO memorable. I played this entire set sans cues – using the screen, very loud headphones (sorry, ears), and my track memory as much as I could. It put my skills to the test, pushed all of my limits, and was so absurd – but so fitting for Curiosity. I’ll own my mistakes here. It was messy, but this is part of what makes you grow as an artist.

An aside: I started with Partiboi69 to follow Spacecamp's absolute flooring incredibleness of a set (real talk: best set of the weekend). PB69 has been a much-loved artist that we discovered over quarantine & has brought a lot of laughter to my friend group, so that silliness was really where I wanted to start my set before I dove into 1.5 hrs of music that I knew would surprise a lot of people. This isn’t a sound that I’ve played out much before, so I was stoked to explore this on such an incredible soundsystem in my favorite place on earth – the desert. 

I left my set so mad at the mixer situation, but eventually realized that at the end of the day, this shit happens. You have to pull thru, do work, and make the best of any given situation. You have to keep moving forward. 

Enjoy the ride.

Torie @ Inquiry: Curiosity 2021

We got to open and close at a sweet, intimate (yet spacious) warehouse party for New Years 2022. Here is the recording of the opening hour plus, featuring deep and lo-fi house gradually ramping into more upbeat vibes to set the next DJ up nicely.

Live@Bright Future 2: Jason Burns B2b Sheppard

Welcome to the most intricate part of my brain, where thoughts and feelings develop into action and sound through the unconventionally balanced emotions of tragedy and euphoria. This mix is a raw and emotional story, told through a thoughtfully curated set of songs, mixed based on pure instinct and personal experience.

Everyone, at any given moment, is trying to tell their story... sometimes we just need to learn to speak the language.
