To celebrate the fourth of July, I played a magical playful high energy set to kick off the 4th of July festivities!  This set is full of yummy house tracks with strong female vocals and a few fun covers thrown in for good measure to get people groovin!

Nothing can prepare you for the finality of death, loss, and regret.  It's a feeling that leaves us hollow and helpless.  Yet, I believe in the power of music to transcend time and existence.  It's one of the purest forms of communication.  This lushpod honors my brother's life, as his essence returns to its source.  I imagine him listening to this in his headphones as he passes through this plane.  Thank you Wowie! Lushpod #59 features tracks from Dear Humans, Be Svendsen, &ME, Argy, RVNZ, Franky Wah, Harry Romero, and Ry X.

StephyV at New Bohemia NYE 2023 [Disco Donutz]

2022 was the year I discovered that Torie (no longer hates) loves breaks. Yep. So naturally, I decided to carry that one forward... Here's my set from that one damn sunny day we had in San Francisco amidst so much rain. What a way to kick off a new year: back on our beloved Dusty Rhino, still standing on a CDJ case to see over the decks, at the annual It's A New Day x Breakfast of Champions block party at The Great Northern.   

Enjoy an hour-long journey through all sorts of breaking-broken-beats n' things. 

There's much more to come.

"@lozgoddardmusic into new sonic territory on his Physical Education debut delivering four machine driven cuts rooted in analog hardware sounds, with high-energy rhythms and dancefloor intent. Leaving behind the sample-heavy textures and live instrumentation of previous releases, this EP leans more into synthesizers and drum machines, channelling the pulse of classic club gear with plenty of added bounce. Subtle nods to the sounds and moods of 90s and early 2000s video games add a nostalgic digital sheen—balancing playfulness, drive and warmth in equal measure."

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.
