J.Phlip

After 25 years behind the decks, J.Phlip still hasn’t mastered the art of pretending she’s doing something when she’s not - so she keeps busy actually mixing. She built her reputation on fearless, genre-melting sets packed with bass, acid, punk-electro rave, booty, or 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 un-shape the label's sound - she cultivated 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 (6x times at the fest) to Fabric London, Space Ibiza, and EDC (Vegas & Mexico), all the way to Bass Coast, Shambhala, CRSSD, Lightning in a Bottle, Splash House, and Coachella - always bringing her signature risk-taking, delightfully weird energy behind the decks.

But screw the industry name game - sometimes Jess just wants to jump rope like it's middle school. She shows up at festivals with ropes in hand and kicks off Double Dutch sessions 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 Festival SF, they co-created a show so far outside the box of modern DJ culture: 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, Phlip is back - and she's here to start some shit.
