Coming July 2026, APO/THECARY is a 5-track EP, written and performed by DEĀ EX MACHINĀ — the musical moniker of Torina Gedler. The EP, produced by Grammy nominated (“Love Cure (feat. Lachi)”/ The Colors in My Mind by Chris Redding) and Wavy award-winning producer Medusa (“Danny Phantom”/ Residuals, “King of Prom Queens”/ S.O.B. Story), as well as sync industry star Colby Lapolla, chronicles Gedler’s rise from internalized ableism toward self-actualization, confronting layers of damage inflicted on them by perfectionism and people-pleasing tendencies to pave the way for radical joy as a Disabled and Queer person existing in a country where autonomy and basic liberties face mounting threats.
