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.

Howdy! I'm from a small town in Louisiana called Lafayette. I began spinning a little over a decade ago in my living room and my teacher was the book "Djs for Dummies".  It's been an interesting journey. 

Growing up, I always carried the big ass stack of CDs to parties and would always become the "dj". I took many years (and cities) before the idea of trying to actually become a DJ hit me.
 I have always love to dance and spent my teens/ 20's doing just that. You go to a club and see that one drunk bitch dancing by themselves at 9pm in the corner... that was me. I worked in many different bars and was exposed to many different Djs and their styles. The first mixed set I ever heard was Bad Boy Bill, GHC 4....I had no idea I was listening to a god. Seems so funny now! My break into dance culture was with break beats. It was pretty much the only kind of dance music that was played in Laffy, LA. As I grew and traveled, I learned what circuit music (tribal house with a lot of diva/top 40 vocals) was and that gay men really enjoyed it. I did too, for many years. It wasn't until 2010 that I really started to get into EDM. It could be trancey bath-house tracks, big room, or mainstream; I was all about it. I played that for many years and was really into that scene.
 I moved to Austin in 2014 and started to learn their sounds, which included a lot of Barry Harris and tracks that I think of as "bouncy club" music. I learned that while also diving deeper into mash-ups which incorporated EDM and every other genre of music, including hip-hop, rock, classical, and beyond. I thank Dj's from Mars for all of those incredible tracks. 
It wasn't until the pandemic of 2020 that I was exposed to deep house/tech-house/techno/ect in a way that got me hooked and inspired me to start playing with it. I had always considered it boring..I just needed to hear it spun correctly. 
These days I can go all over the map depending on my mood and/or crowd. I don't like being stuck in a box where I only play one genre of electronic music when there are SO many to navigate! 
 Thats a little history of my musical journey. It's ever evolving and growing.
Most of my sets get pretty aggressive, just FYI. I seem to be unable to make an actual chill mix... Ill get it one of these days. 

Hope you enjoy my sets as much as I love dancing and jamming to them. 
Cheers!
