Educate Your Ears: Zorza


Set off on an enchanting sonic exploration with Zorza, the Toronto-based artist who’s making waves in the electronic music scene. Her eclectic blend of hard dance, techno, trance, and hyperpop has established a distinctive presence in the genre, further amplified by her engaging Twitch streams. Zorza is on the brink of defining a new genre dubbed ‘hyper-techno’ with the debut of her EP, ‘Hyperdream,’ out now on Collection Disques Durs.

“This EP is my take on trance music. Drawing inspiration from classic trance tracks and visuals of the early 2000s, I aimed to create a modern project that resonates with the sonic atmosphere of that era, all while remaining authentic to my fast, bouncy and hyperpop style.”


Our auditory tale unfolds with the titular track, “Hyperdream,” a sonic gem in the realm of techno that ensnares you with its tranquil yet driving beats. As the beats thrust forward, otherworldly soundscapes invite you to float into an idyllic state of rapture. Progressing to “4ever,” this piece evolves continuously, tipping its hat to the golden age of techno raves while injecting a dose of ethereal hyperpop. This synthesis gives rise to an unforgettable trance tune, replete with enchanting melodies and vigorous rhythms.

As the journey ensues, “Ashes 2 Dust” elevates the EP to an enthralling sphere of awe. Delicate and euphoric reverberations blend with complex techno rhythms, creating an auditory realm that lures the listener into a hypnotic and otherworldly escapade. The EP’s conclusion, “Endlessly,” captures a fairytale essence, submerging the audience in a narrative of passion and tranquility, wrapped in harmonious euphoria.

Zorza’s talents, heralded by industry heavyweights, have illuminated the stages of eminent events like Boiler Room Toronto, Electric Island, Piknic Electronik, and Shlomo’s Welcome Back Devil in Germany. Fresh off a triumphant global tour with appearances in New York, Lille, Lisbon, Paris, Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto, and Montreal, Zorza continues to blend genres seamlessly. Step into Zorza’s realm, where the worlds of Techno and Pop converge beautifully.
