For February this year DETOUR staying true to form, continues to bring you expansive and immersive nights of DJ + Live sets that will keep you on the edge of your set. On 15th, we'll be welcoming Chicago's Zvrra along with the turn of Pittsburgh's very own XC-17.

Zvrra:
Since 2020, Zvrra has been breaking through the ranks and rising to prominence. Records such as her self-released Flow State techno EP bagged her high praise in all the right corners with Luke Slater, Umfang, Inigo Kennedy, Dustin Zahn and Ben Sims being among those to support her works. British techno linchpin Shifted is another who took notice, saving her a sought-after slot on his imprint Avian for her debut LP Bizzaroland. Released at the end of 2021, the absorbing, tension-driving nine-tracker spans ambient, techno and noise, and fi rmly secures Zvrra’s reputation as an artist in a world of her own in concocting distinct, intricate soundscapes. Beyond self-releases and record label dispatches, her music features on HBO Max’s South Side series as well as a TV commercial for the streaming giant.

As for DJing, Zvrra’s shrewd selections have largely been heard across the airwaves with regular guest slots on Rinse FM and The Lot, as well as being tapped by Dekmantel for its crowd-pulling podcast series. And as her productions continue to thud across dance floors, she’s eager to clock in behind the booths of hallowed clubs and festivals worldwide.

While music production has taken precedence over video game development, in the near future fans of her sonic ammo will be able to explore her three-dimensional creations as she’s developing games with plans to release them on Steam, Xbox and other major platforms.

XC-17:
Returning to the booth and representing Dyspheric we have DJ, producer, visual artist, and event organizer XC-17. As a DJ XC-17's are sets bold and spontaneous, creatively spanning a range of genres.

Lately they been spreading their sound to multiple venues across the eastern boarder ,and broadening their sound while opening their ear up to cities and sounds that grew their love for music ,and dancing ,and as a rave child turned producer dj alonna aka XC-17 knows how to get your body jumping and heart pumping.

We hope to see you on the dance floor.

XC-17 (@stephanie-alona-helen) is a DJ, producer, visual artist, and event organizer based in Pittsburgh. They are a founder of the Dyspheric (@dsypheric-leesss) series, which got started with livestreams during lockdown and has since evolved into a mix series and live events. Their DJing is as energetic and adventurous as their ethos: when it comes down to it, it's about being creative, having fun, and making space for everyone.

"This mix was about trying to showcase different music I love, in a way that I love to hear. I just really love so many genres. I felt like making something I will listen to any time of the day, and that I will like any time of the day, and I guess just feels close to me in a way. It gave me enough room to really just mess with things and have fun and be creative with it."

Spontaneous Affinity #043: XC-17

Zvrra is a multi-genre music producer, DJ and video game developer based in the Chicago area. Zvrra has been producing music for 18 years and credits the prolific dance music soundtrack of 2003 video game Midnight Club 2 for her love of techno. Her music explores a multitude of genres and styles ranging from techno and house, to hip hop, to tribal and industrial, often blending styles and crafting intricate concept albums.

Zvrra has garnered much attention in the dance music scene for her 2020 release “Flow State,” a hypnotic 4-track techno EP that has been supported by acts such as Shifted, DJ GIRL, Ron AD and more. Flow State was featured in Bandcamp's Best Electronic Music January 2021 round-up, acclaimed by Joe Muggs as “bass-heavy, crackling with textural detail, sensually enveloping.”
