After 25 years behind the decks, J.Phlip still hasn't figured out how to crush the art of pretending she's doing something when she's not-so she just keeps busy actually mixing. She has built her rep on fearless, genre-melting sets packed with bass, acid, punk-electro, bootytech-whatever she damn well pleases. She flips the script-and sometimes the bird-as easily as she flips from 4/4 kicks to breakbeats, taking you on a sonic joyride with zero regard for speed limits. A founding Dirtybird original since 2006, J.Phlip didn't just help shape the label's sound-she nurtured its ride-or-die community, fiercely protecting its scrappy, open-hearted ethos. From the legendary SF Golden Gate BBQs to building Dirtybird Campout from the dirt up, she's been central to one of dance music's boldest and most beloved collectives. She's lit up everything from Movement Detroit to EDC, Fabric London to Space Ibiza, Coachella to your grandma's basement.

But screw the industry name game - sometimes Jess just wants to jump rope like it's middle school. She'll show up with ropes at festivals and kick off a Double Dutch session open to anyone. Her favorite spot is the Friendship cruise where shes backed by her East Bay ride-or-dies, the Twerkaholicz. Their booty-powered madness nearly broke Dirtybird Campout as they rolled in on a gold-plated "Twerkulator" bus, after J.
Phlip herself brought them into the flock in 2019. At Outside Lands, they co-created a show so far outside the box of today's "Dance Music / DJ culture" it shoved it off the rails - colliding fast-BPM beats, ass-jiggling acrobatics, and pure absurdity into a crowd-screaming blowout. Treefort in Boise got it! - the dancefloor snapped into two hours of unfiltered mosh-raving. Jess isn't here for your sunny-day vibes or safe dance moves. After far too many lost years-dragging herself through pandemic fallout-she's back to start some shit.

No one knows how to push the boundaries of House music quite like Mz Worthy. With a deeply intuitive understanding of production, she’s shown reverence to the traditional form of classic House even while tripping off the mark & sinking into euphoric, less-charted territories of booty-clapping bass. Attaching “Mz” to her name, Mz Worthy marks the new era of her career. With a new relationship to DJing, she connects with her music and her audience like never before. 

Despite over two decades in the scene, she continuously felt disconnected from the world and her fans. After years of repressing feelings of gender dysphoria, Mz Worthy came out as transgender in 2020. Describing the discovery as pieces of a puzzle coming together, Mz Worthy has invited her fans to join her on her journey in finding herself. Feeling a sense of freedom like never before, she has become more expressive in her music and mixing. 

Mz Worthy is no stranger to the world of electronic music. Energized by the early American rave scene, she bounced from city to city before finally landing in San Francisco. It was here that she put down roots and established the Dirtybird party alongside Claude VonStroke & Justin & Christian Martin. She released her breakout track “Irst Te” off Dirtybird records back in 2007, followed up by bangers like “Shy Look” (2012), “Tric Trac” with Eats Everything (2011) and “Dip” (2013). 

Worthy once again proved her notoriety as a producer with her 2014 debut album, Disbehave. Released off her very own label, Anabatic Records, the critically acclaimed album defies genres and pushes the boundaries of the traditional House sound. She followed the record up with a 2-part remix album, featuring Will Clarke, Walker & Royce, Thugfucker, Stanton Warriors, and Yolanda be Cool among others. She has since released on top labels, such as Defected, Exploited, Insomniac, and Toolroom.

Having played the massive Coachella, Dirtybird Campout, Burning Man, and Ultra festivals, Mz Worthy has the insight to play for her audience every time, cultivating intense positive energy and an energetic dance floor camaraderie. She invites her audience to embrace their true selves, just as she is.

Open to showing and teaching the trans experience, Mz Worthy is a light for other LGBTQ artists. This is only the beginning for her as she reintroduces herself to the scene.
