Jane Remover (born September 26, 2003) is an American rapper, record producer, and singer-songwriter. They made their debut with Teen Week in 2021, a progressive pop and digicore EP with themes of adolescence. The same year, they released their debut studio album, Frailty, a coming of age album following the similar themes of Teen Week, but encompassing a wide range of genres.
After coming out as transgender, they released their second studio album, Census Designated, in 2023, a shoegaze and post-rockconcept album inspired by a "near-death experience" on a road trip. In 2025, they released their third studio album, Revengeseekerz, with influence from digicore and EDM, and later that year released their second EP Heart, which featured more pop-focused songs, a majority of which had been previously released as singles throughout 2024.
Remover's interest in music production stems back as far as 2011, inspired by dubstep producers including Skrillex, Kill the Noise, and Virtual Riot. They would later produce different styles of EDM in the mid-2010s, citing Porter Robinson as their biggest influence. From electronic music, Remover's production became more trap-centric around 2018; they 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 them being a member of multiple SoundCloud collectives including PlanetZero and Graveem1nd. Their production gradually became more digicore-oriented.
Career
2019–2021: Early work, Teen Week and Frailty
In late 2019, Remover began self-producing and releasing their own works on their SoundCloud. One of Remover's first solo releases, "What's My Age Again?", gained popularity from being shared on Twitter after its release in 2020. On February 9, 2021, they released the song "Back Off!!!" with Kmoe and Juno on ArtbyFORM's All Nighter Vol. 6, a charity compilation album produced within 24 hours which received praise from Porter Robinson and Pitchfork.
Their debut EP, Teen Week, was released on February 26, 2021, under the pseudonym Dltzk (stylized as "dltzk"). The track "Homeswitcher", featuring Kmoe, reached 100,000 streams on SoundCloud within the first two weeks of its release.
After several more non-album singles, Remover began teasing the release of their debut studio album, Frailty. Starting in June 2021, three singles were released for it: "How to Lie", "Pretender", and "Search Party". Following these, Frailty was released via DeadAir Records on November 12, 2021. The album was acclaimed by various publications, such as Pitchfork, who placed the album at #47 on their list of the best albums of 2021, with the Fader stating the album established them as "the face of digicore".
On June 27, 2022, Remover announced the retirement of the Dltzk pseudonym, and introduced the name Jane Remover. On the same date, they released the single "Royal Blue Walls". In Remover's statement, they said "the stage name Dltzk has never sat right with me" and that it "reminds me of a period of my life I'd like to move past". They also announced that the Teen Week EP would be abridged, as they had become uncomfortable with the project as it was originally released. This change went into effect on October 10, 2022, and four songs were removed from the EP.
Remover debuted on the British record label PC Music, run by A. G. Cook, on July 21, 2022 with a remix for "Honest" by Umru and Cecile Believe. Later in the year, their second single under the name Jane Remover, "Contingency Song", was released on November 16, 2022. They were the opening act for Brakence's Hypochondriac tour from November 26 to December 20, 2022.
In March 2023, Remover became an official resident of NTS Radio, where they performed monthly hour-long sets, entitled "Wait Watch This", on the station's second channel. They retired their residency in December 2024. On August 14, 2025, they appeared on the station once more, performing a mix for "deadAir - Transmissions" titled jane_remover_paintjob.zip.
On August 23, 2023, Remover announced their second album, Census Designated, and shared the lead single, "Lips". On September 20, the album's title track, "Census Designated", was released with an accompanying music video directed by Quadeca, and the album was released on October 20, 2023. The album saw their move away from bitcrushing and sampling towards a "blend of shoegaze and bedroom pop", guitar rock anthems with slow buildup and deafening noisy climaxes. A Pitchfork review of Census Designated compared this iteration of their sound to music acts such as Ethel Cain, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, and yeule. During the Census rollout, Remover released a collaboration with the musician Underscores, "Uncanny Long Arms", on September 22, 2023 as part of her second studio album, Wallsocket.
In February 2024, Remover began the Designated Dreams tour, co-headlining alongside their labelmate Quannnic. Playing 12 dates across the US, the tour promoted both artists' albums released the year before, being Census Designated and Stepdream, respectively.

Side projects
Leroy
Leroy is a side project by Remover, under which they create sample-heavy EDM mashups. These releases sample a wide range of sounds, including pop songs of the 2010s, viral videos, and even Remover's own music. They released a series of albums with the name "dariacore", the first of them on May 14, 2021. 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 "taking hyperpop's silliest tendencies to their logical conclusions". Three Dariacore albums were released under the pseudonym "leroy" from December 2020 to May 2022, after which the moniker was officially retired in June 2022 with the release of a DJ mix titled "leroy & dltzk Memorial Service". This series of albums has 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 studio album under the Leroy pseudonym, Grave Robbing, which premiered on NTS Radio. Remover made a surprise return in June 2025 after a near two-year hiatus, releasing multiple Leroy singles on their SoundCloud account[non-primary source needed] and subsequently releasing Status Update Music, the pseudonym's fifth album, on May 14, 2026, the five year anniversary of Dariacore.
Venturing
Venturing is a side project of Jane Remover. It initially started as a fictional indie rock band created by Remover. They released several tracks under the Venturing alias onto SoundCloud throughout 2022 and 2023, before releasing Arizona, their official debut EP as Venturing, onto streaming platforms on May 19, 2023. Remover officially announced the project's debut studio album, Ghostholding, on December 5, 2024. It was released on February 14, 2025. On February 13, 2026, Remover released the single "In the Dark" under the alias. Remover released the EP Nowhere under the alias on July 31, 2026.
Personal life and views
Remover attended The College of New Jersey for one semester before leaving to pursue music full-time. They formerly made music under the pseudonym Dltzk. After coming out publicly as a trans woman in 2022, they created the name Jane Remover, as they left their deadname behind. In early 2025, Remover stated that they are non-binary; in a 2025 interview with NME, they said: "I'm not not trans, but I'm not a trans woman." In February 2026, Remover said that they go by any pronouns, but prefer they/them.
Remover is a participant in No Music for Genocide, a musician-led boycott movement protesting Israel's military actions against Palestinians by removing their music from Israeli streaming services. In August 2026, Remover posted an Instagram story stating that they would not perform at the M3F Festival unless the Israeli band Temper City was removed from the festival's lineup. One of Temper City's members, Eytan Peled, was a member from the Israel Defense Forces. In September 2026, the M3F Festival posted an updated line-up in which Remover no longer appears, with their former spot being replaced by record producer Flying Lotus.
