walk to her room at the Hard Rock Hotel Maya Riviera before her second set at Holy Ship! Wrecked, a four-day electronic music festival. When she started making music, she says, she would microdose quarter-tabs of 25i, a synthetic hallucinogen similar to acid. Her whole brand was initially going to be centered around being \u201ca party girl who just gets fucked up all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            That\u2019s not really who QRTR is today. Sure, at Holy Ship! Wrecked, she and I stay up until 3 a.m. most nights on frozen rum drinks. But she\u2019s also a widely respected sound designer who left a coveted full-time job on HBO\u2019s <i>Succession<\/i> to DJ full time. She\u2019s a devoted student of the scene, someone who\u2019ll engage in a two-hour conversation about dance music history while eating salmon filets in my room.

But instead lives in a strange purgatory between EDM and more esoteric dance music \u2014 two scenes that have always had an uncomfortable relationship. It\u2019s a conflict reflected in this year\u2019s Holy Ship! lineup, a fairly even split between DJs influenced by megastars like David Guetta and underground artists drawing from a transatlantic tradition of everything from house to techno, club music to breaks, and beyond. <\/p>\n<p>            Two years ago, QRTR wasn\u2019t in the scene full-time. An NYU Tisch grad, she\u2019d been working in sound design before working as a post-production coordinator on <i>Succession<\/i>. She released her debut album, <i>Drenched<\/i>, in March 2020, making a dent in Brooklyn, and quit her day job a little over a year later to go on tour with melodic techno DJ <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ericluttrell\/?hl=en\">Luttrell<\/a>. That August she released <i>infina ad nausea<\/i>, her sophomore record, fusing IDM, outsider house, and drum\u2019n\u2019bass \u2014 though her use of vocals (occasionally her own) kept it feeling accessible. The lyrics felt relatable too: \u201cAll I wanna do is stay home, get stoned, no phone alone with you,\u201d artemis orion sings on \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"

Wrecked as she does her release schedule: She uses her first set of the week to please the crowd by delivering more mainstream edits of pop music with a touch of her leftfield taste.

With a mezcal and pineapple in hand (the resort didn\u2019t stock grapefruit juice), she tries to amp herself up.  \u201cI just try to dance and get excited,\u201d she explains while looking at herself in the mirror walls of the artist lounge. She\u2019s about to open up the stage for Overmono and TSHA, two U.K. acts whose music she\u2019s been playing in her own sets all year. This is one of the biggest lineup looks she\u2019s gotten thus far, and she\u2019s feeling the pressure.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"content_block flush image\" id=\"content_block-242280\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1440,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/QRTR_HolyShip2022_1228_053352-278__ginajoyphoto_qzenvk\/qrtrs-life-between-two-worlds.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/QRTR_HolyShip2022_1228_053352-278__ginajoyphoto_qzenvk\/qrtrs-life-between-two-worlds.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/QRTR_HolyShip2022_1228_053352-278__ginajoyphoto_qzenvk\/qrtrs-life-between-two-worlds.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/QRTR_HolyShip2022_1228_053352-278__ginajoyphoto_qzenvk\/qrtrs-life-between-two-worlds.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/QRTR_HolyShip2022_1228_053352-278__ginajoyphoto_qzenvk\/qrtrs-life-between-two-worlds.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/QRTR_HolyShip2022_1228_053352-278__ginajoyphoto_qzenvk\/qrtrs-life-between-two-worlds.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/QRTR_HolyShip2022_1228_053352-278__ginajoyphoto_qzenvk\/qrtrs-life-between-two-worlds.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/QRTR_HolyShip2022_1228_053352-278__ginajoyphoto_qzenvk\/qrtrs-life-between-two-worlds.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/QRTR_HolyShip2022_1228_053352-278__ginajoyphoto_qzenvk\/qrtrs-life-between-two-worlds.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/QRTR_HolyShip2022_1228_053352-278__ginajoyphoto_qzenvk\/qrtrs-life-between-two-worlds.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/QRTR_HolyShip2022_1228_053352-278__ginajoyphoto_qzenvk\/qrtrs-life-between-two-worlds.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"QRTR\u2019s life between two worlds\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-242281\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            Once it\u2019s her time to go on, the side of the stage fills with A&amp;Rs and artists, probably wondering who exactly QRTR is and why she\u2019s making so much noise in the scene lately. This is the girl who was personally asked by Fred again..\u2019s team to support him for his secret Brooklyn pop-up show a few months ago and was just announced as support for two dates on ODESZA\u2019s stadium tour.<\/p>\n<p>            The stage is in a smaller room within the lobby of the resort, reminiscent of the sweaty Bushwick venues that make her feel at home. Dressed in a black crop top, Adidas track pants, and combat boots, which she uses to stomp around the stage, she seems totally self-assured. She\u2019s in full focus, engaging with the crowd, ignoring the feigned cross-armed apathy of the industry types behind her. <\/p>\n<p>            Their resistance breaks when QRTR\u2019s set finishes. She\u2019s mobbed, and it takes 10 minutes for me to get through the crowd to talk to her. When I do, she\u2019s soaked in sweat and grinning, wide awake. She turns her back on the mob and walks straight to the front of the dancefloor.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-242340\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-242303\" class=\"content_block paragraph embed triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TFI7834680816&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"482\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-242341\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Arielle Lana LeJarde<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
