In 2012, Brooklyn-based sonic field researcher, electronic alchemist, and club chaos conduit Dylan Shir birthed the performative moniker Via App. Known for their cutting affect and acrobatic versatility, Via App’s sonic arsenal includes both live and DJ sets, infusing the dance-floor with a polymorphic ecstasy. No stranger to the international circuit, they’ve performed at festivals, venues and events such as Primavera Sound, Unsound Festival, Rewire, Panorama Bar, Saulë, Tresor, All Club, Contact Tokyo, Frequent Defect Beirut, Cxema, Zvuk, Sustain Release, MoMA PS1, and Moogfest. Via App has recorded mixes for and been featured in publications like Resident Advisor, Crack Audio, FACT Magazine, Dazed Digital, and Rinse France; released music with BANK records, Break World Records, Tresor, DJ-Kicks, Country Music, Parkingstone, SVBKVLT, Al Gharib, and PTP; and spawned official remixes from Osheyack, N1L, and Club Eat. Shir’s notable collaborations include COIL’s Drew McDowall, Bookworms, Juliana Huxtable, Isabella, and Shyboi. They also play live electronics in Tongue in the Mind with Juliana Huxtable and Jealous Orgasm. The band released their debut EP with PAN in May 2024, and their subsequent Full Length LP will follow in 2025.
