for our @icarusartcar fundraiser at Monarch SF in April 2022, our resident DJs each chose a friend to b2b with - so i grabbed my east coast sista @itsmekatiemarie & we teamed up for this new duo project we're working on that we've aptly named // chaos theory // 

full transparency, as is par for course: i threw katie into the fire a bit when i told her i'd like to play *very fast techno and sum breaks sitting around 128-145 bpm* & she was also new to the v10 mixer (what a learning curve that damn thing is). the first few track transitions here are messy, no doubt - i was showing her how to use the mixer on the fly, we were getting into our groove, and, well, you know how chaos can go in a packed club w a lot of loud noises. but that's the fun of it, right? 

regardless - once we got into it, we damn went, and we piloted the shit out of that spaceship. 

enjoy some minimal house, techno, acid techno, & breaks + left-field garage soundin' stuff. strap in for a helluva ride cuz this one's a damn adventure with a helluva groove.

xx, 
torie & katie

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.
