Jane Remover
Jane Remover (born September 26, 2003; formerly known as Dltzk), is an American musician. She is most well known for her 2021 debut studio album, Frailty, as well as her pioneering of the "dariacore" microgenre on SoundCloud with her album of the same name released under Leroy. Biography 
Remover grew up with her parents and twin sister in northern New Jersey. She attended The College of New Jersey for one semester before leaving to pursue music full-time. She came out publicly as a trans woman in 2022. Career 
Remover's interest in music production stems back as far as 2011, inspired by dubstep producers like Skrillex, Kill the Noise, and Virtual Riot. She would later go on to produce different styles of EDM in the mid-2010s, citing Porter Robinson as her biggest influence. From electronic music, Remover's production became more trap-centric in around 2018; she cited artists such as Trippie Redd, Earl Sweatshirt, and Tyler, the Creator as inspirations. Guest production then became a large part of Remover's early career, with her being a member of multiple SoundCloud collectives such as PlanetZero and Graveem1nd. Her production gradually became more digicore oriented. In late 2019, Remover began self-producing and releasing her own works on SoundCloud. One of Remover's first solo releases, "What's My Age Again? ", gained popularity after being shared on Twitter. Her second EP, Teen Week, was released on  under the pseudonym Dltzk. The track "Homeswitcher" featuring Kmoe, reached 100,000 streams on SoundCloud within the first two weeks of its release. After the release of several more non-album singles, Remover began teasing the release of her debut studio album, Frailty, and releasing singles for it in June 2021. After the release of the tracks "How to Lie", "Pretender", and "Search Party", Frailty was released via DeadAir Records on . The album was acclaimed by publications such as Pitchfork, who placed the album at #47 on their list of the best albums of 2021. On , Remover announced the retirement of the Dltzk pseudonym, and introduced the name Jane Remover. On the same date, she released the single "Royal Blue Walls". In Remover's statement, she said "the stage name Dltzk has never sat right with [her]" and that it "reminds [her] of a period of [her] life [she'd] like to move past". She also announced that the Teen Week EP would be abridged, as she was uncomfortable with the project as it was originally released. This change went into effect on , and four songs were removed from the EP. Remover's second single released as Jane Remover, "Contingency Song", was released on . She was the opening act for Brakence's Hypochondriac tour from  to . On August 23, 2023, Remover shared the single "Lips" from her second album, Census Designated, which was released on October 20. On September 20, the album's title track, "Census Designated", was released along with an accompanying music video directed by Quadeca. Leroy 
Remover has released music under many pseudonyms throughout her career. The most notable of these aliases is Leroy, under which she created sample-heavy EDM mashups. These releases sampled a wide range of sounds, including pop songs of the 2010s, viral videos, and even Remover's own music. She released albums with the name "dariacore", the first of them on May 14, 2021, and the cover art for each album released under the Leroy moniker were screenshots from the TV series Daria, which led to the term "dariacore" being used to describe the unique production style that Remover used for these releases. The genre was described by Raphael Helfand of The Fader as "an entire genre in and of itself, taking hyperpop's silliest tendencies to their logical conclusions". Three albums were released on the account from  to , after which the moniker was officially retired in  with the release of a DJ mix titled "Leroy & Dltzk Memorial Service". The Dariacore series of albums have since inspired many artists to adopt a similar style of production, releasing short sample-based EDM tracks themed around popular media. On July 21, 2023, Remover released the fourth and final studio album under the Leroy pseudonym, Grave Robbing, which premiered on NTS Radio. Discography
