Jessica Audiffred
Genre: Dubstep
Origin: Mexico
Dubbed “one of the hardest players in the game” (by Festival Voice), in only a few short years (since her introduction to the US market), Jessica’s North American resume already includes B2B showcases and tours with industry giants like Excision, sold out arenas with Riot Ten, monthly residencies across the country and rapturous dance floors slammed wall to wall in what Insomniac, Bassrush has likened to .”..dropped jaws and cracked skulls.”
A talent whose sound has long outgrown Mexico City, the alpha metropolis of her upbringing and rise to prominence, Jessica has managed to establish her own niche style within the Bass and Trap genre’s not only as a legitimate, sought after music producer but also as a captivating live performer, moving festival crowds at EDC, Lost Lands, Beyond Wonderland and Forbidden Kingdom year after year alongside world class acts and relevant talent.
Between neck breaking festival weapons appearing on Excisions new ‘Subsidia’ imprint and campaign defining music for Adidas (Latin America), collaborations with Walshy Fire (of ‘Major Lazer’ fame), Point Blank and many others, Jessica has been busy in the studio not only creatively but also as a music instructor who loves to share her studio secrets with her heavily engaged fan base.
In 2016, with great success Jessica introduced her ‘A Records’ imprint further expressing her concept and discernment for Electronic music. Skrillex & co.’s ‘Nest HQ’ celebrated her as a “Taste maker…soon to be a major staple in the global dance scene.” ‘Bassrush’ and ‘Your EDM’ hailed her “the undisputed Queen of Mexico’s Trap and Bass scene” and the ‘DJ Times’ referred to her as “a dominant force in Bass music.”
Before even having stepped foot in North America, Jessica’s heavy blog presence earned her the attention of industry titans such as Flux Pavilion, who in 2016 went as far as including her in his small list of top global acts for the ‘DJmag’ top 100 — signing her to his label, ‘Circus Recordings’ and offering her the opportunity to remix his acclaimed release alongside NGHTMRE, “Feel Your Love.” The following years saw Jessica’s relationship with Circus Records UK grow, celebrating the labels 10 year anniversary with a tour and a carefully crafted debut album which is set to release in the first quarter of 2022. All while championing Mexico’s first ever Bass-centric radio show ‘Back to Bassics.’
‘Run the Trap’ and ‘Audio Femme’ bet on Jessica’s future with no delay, as did ‘Your EDM’ who has listed her as one of the very few DJ’s to watch year after year. Awarded the title of “#1 DJ in Mexico” by ‘MDM’ via a landslide vote, Jessica is ‘Steppin’ into the new year with all the energy of her bass drops, sneakers laced and ‘Evil A’s’ at the ready and as ‘EDM Manic’ put it, the industry is expecting “nothing short of a revolution.”
