Jess Jubilee is something of a genre-busting powerhouse. Not only did she grow up on the sounds of Miami Bass, Breaks and Grime, but as one of New York’s most eclectic, exciting and ear-splitting DJs, she’s channeled it into a new genre all of her own. You could call it “jump up and down like you’ve never partied before when you hear it” music, you could call it what you get when you put bass heavy electro and happy hardcore into a blender and mix it with a forty of malt liquor. Now, in addition to serving as part of the explosive Flashing Lights party coming out of NY, a blogger for Trash Menagerie, Production Manager at famed nightclub Studio B, Jess has also just put out the straight-fire “Paypur EP” with colleague Udachi, which you can and absolutely should support on Beatport HERE. I talked to Jess a bit about booty bass, where the hell the music industry is going, bad advice, badmovies, and whether or not aliens are going to stop stealing her weed anytime soon. Read on!
