Idoru
Origin: None
IDORU is the anti-idol in an age of cult-like self-adoration. Her rebellious sonic signature and personal philosophy embrace the cyborgification of humanity, where human creativity and AI intertwine, forging a sound that’s both otherworldly and deeply real. She channels the chaos of our hyper-connected world into dark, groove-driven soundscapes—a spellbinding blend of Detroit minimal techno, futuristic industrial textures, electro beats, and Italo melancholy.
Detroit-raised, IDORU has moved across many cities and states in the US, with one constant mantra: music is sanctuary. Replicating “dancefloor voodoo” in each track, her music aims to transform the club into a space where identity dissolves, time stops, and you’re free to get lost, escape, or find absolution. She went from childhood piano lessons and teenage bandcamp playing the trombone, to digging for hip hop, funk, 80’s electronic and metal records in each cities across the US. Now, she is co-founder and at the helm of Manta Recordings, alongside label partner, Sian.
IDORU has consistently released dance hits in her genre, proven successful with fellow DJ supporters, garnering top positions in several dance charts. She has also been remixed by a talented lineup of revered names like Boys’ Shorts, Panther Modern, Damon Jee, Darlyn Vlys, Sherø, Jennifer Touch, Mala Ika, Local Suicide and Musumeci.
