J.Phlip

Jessica Phillippe is diehard, born with true grit and skills to pay the
bills. Despite her success with the dirtybird gang, she's still out there
in record stores on the regular... digging, uncovering precious gems and
weaving them into her dynamic sets with panache. She's a hard-working,
dedicated lady who refuses to compromise and aims to rock the dance
#oor without relying on the most obvious tracks. Production-wise she's
just as fearsome, lacing her tracks with a tough yet bouncy #avour. Her
prowess in both disciplines combined with her infectious sense of fun and
mind-boggling depth of knowledge make her one of the most revered DJs
on the global circuit today.
Ever since the purchase of a cheap set of belt-drive decks and a mixer on
her 19th birthday she really hasn't looked back and, a$er completing her
studies in Engineering, the straight-A student jumped head !rst into her
true passion, music. She won a DJ competition in 2005, toured the USA
and moved from her hometown, Champaign, Illinois, to the birthplace of
house music, Chicago. In the Windy City she endured the struggle that
many musicians go through on their pathway to glory but never lost sight
of her dream. A move to San Francisco resulted in more hard times, but it
wasn't long before her determination and natural talent won through.

Phlip's refusal to give up eventually led her to connect with the dirtybird
crew and make some real progress. Club and festival tours are now a
regular occurrence while releases on Claude VonStroke's highly respected
imprint, and elsewhere too, have established her as a reputable source of
dance !oor killers. People from Skream and Tiga to techno dons Surgeon
and Dave Clarke and a bunch of other in!uential heads threw their
weight behind her "rst truly analogue workout, 'Coe#cient', while her
latest tech-heavy banger 'Say My Name', which is has been doing immense
damage to clubs all over the world, has peaked the interest of Eats
Everything, Danny Daze and Huxley on the !oor, and taking to the
airwaves courtesy of B.Traits, Monki and 1 Xtra’s MistaJam . All that hard
work has put her up there with the industry's female elite; Nina Kraviz,
Heidi, Maya...
Go hear J.Phlip in action and you can expect to experience a full booty
workout and have your mind blown. You'll be surprised, energised and
occasionally weirded out. $is is a lady who knows her stu%, yet continues
to re"ne her cra&. Her aim is dance !oor lobotomy, all the while taking
the greatest pleasure in seeing the people get loose. A DJ not afraid to put
her vision out there, Jess is to thank for passing Eats Everything’s mighty
“Entrance Song” to Voitek and Greg (Catz n Dogz) at Pets and the later
introduction to Barclay (Claude VonStroke) and Dirtybird. She's
embarked on several tours of Europe and the US, attracting an evergrowing
fanbase with each electrifying performance. Spending 3 years
living and DJing in Berlin has helped Phlip to gain an understanding of
the European market – she was only supposed to be there for 5 months,
but ya know, there's some kind of time warp in Berlin that does that to
people.
2014 already involves more action than a James Bond movie with another
tour of Europe in full swing, dates all over the United States including
three residencies: Detroit, Miami and San Francisco – plus there's plenty
more production work in the pipeline. Hold tight for yet more analogue
awesomeness.
Don't take our word for it, go check her out yourselves... and be prepared
to lose your shit. $at's what's up.
