DJ Dory
As a young pianist-turned-punk rock teenager, Dory first discovered house music in Chicago's all-ages juice bars. However, it was the move to San Francisco in 1996 that thrust her into the thick of dance music culture. Many late nights and afterhours later, she is now rocking dance floors from Europe to the South Pacific, consistently winning over new fans with her intelligent blend of groovy house, minimal and techno. Equally at home at a warehouse party or a super-club, she has played events at diverse places from Pacha in London, to Streetparade in Zurich, to a beachside underground in Playa del Carmen.
Dory now calls Los Angeles home, having spent the past 10 years in California where she has produced both one-off and weekly events. This past year Dory made appearances from coast to coast, and Desyn Masiello named her a "top up-and-coming artist," inviting her to play at his label showcase at WMC. Locally she appears at Giant, Avalon and Monday Night Social, and she is a resident of San Francisco-based Listed Productions, which produces creative, non-formulaic events around the country.
