@JanLoup is a DJ/producer based in Toulouse, France. Considering music as an aural, spiritual and emotional experience, she looks at it as a way to reconnect with herself. In a world of digital loneliness and hardcore consumerism, she tries to sublimate these moments of deep-seated nature through trance and dance. Responsible of a handfull of bass music oddities finding home on labels like @worst_rec, @Bigscience, @AirTexture, @sofaclubrecords or @Comicsansrec, Jan Loup is also a captivating DJ. Her mixes are magic spells changing people from a state to an another and her contribution to the serie is no exception. She chose the cubomedusa theme to explore a transcendental range of percussion and organic textures. Get lost in the venom.

Cubozoa, or box jellyfish, are cnidarian invertebrates distinguished by their box-like body. Some tropical species are extremely painful and sometimes lethal to humans because of their venom. The box jellyfish's nervous system is more developed than that of many other jellyfish. They possess a nerve ring around the base of the bell that coordinates their pulsing movements. 
Cubozoa are also unique in the possession of true eyes - complete with retinas, corneas and lenses. Some of them are constantly oriented toward the surface in order to use vegetals or other terrestrial signals as landmarks during the navigation. 
Although the notoriously dangerous species of box jellyfish are largely restricted to the tropical Indo-Pacific area, various species of cubozoa can be found in various regions as far as the Mediterranean Sea, Japan, California, South Africa or New Zealand. 
According to some studies, the marine industry promotes the cubozoa’s expansion because they used to cling on the underside of the boats or to be drawn by the ballast water before getting rejected in another part of the world. This phenomenon, combined with an extremely effective defense system, can explain the abundance of cubozoans despite climate change.
