Since her first steps, she always liked to express her complete self trough dancing to music. Her passion for sounds followed her everywhere, specially during her studies in visual arts.

DJ @pleurire creates dj sets with a praxis of threading paradoxal narratives, ones where duality meets continuum and consonance meets dissonance. With their carefully curated mixes, they ask the question: how to reconcile the irreconcilable? Their multi-faceted selection intends on bending common sense, exploring liminal affects, channeling archetypal energies and unveiling the tragicomic string puller from behind the curtain. The pathway is autotelic; the process derives its own meaning and purpose from within. * Tracklist: K Wata - What Do U Want (Soft Mix) Exael - Calico Caniba Ronen - Uphill Circuitry Zvrra - Untitled Dauwd - La Nota Peverelist - Aztec Chant Nico - Juno Actress - Leaves Against The Sky Boronko - Soul Zvrra - Inside Feral - Dimension D Actress - Raven Loraine James - Random2 Blown ft.

Riv is a multimedia artist juggling many projects in their early stages. Fka aso ani (genre bending weirdness), she now goes by the aliases Demi gorl (queer party tunes) and R.ivy (ambient and chill beats). She’s been using her song creations to amplify the joy and peace she obtains from self care practices. She recommends pairing her ambient music, eclectic spiritual beats and wildly unpredictable techno experiments with candle lighting, crystal energizing and closed-eyed interpretive dancing sessions, respectively. This bright, gritty techno stepper of a mix is a portion of an informal 2021 recording. S/O DJ Coteries for hopping on the decks a couple times. The cover art is a manipulated image of a flower pot Riv decorated under the moonlight with repurposed beads from worn out 90’s sandals while amidst a power failure. The day after, she dropped it on the floor and it broke beyond repair. She offers a cheers to this cover art for making that disappointment feel less dire. Follow her on soundcloud @asoa
