JASSS

For over a decade, the Spanish-born, Berlin-based artist JASSS has pushed at the boundaries of leftfield dance, approaching sound as a material to be stretched, fractured and reassembled in real time. Her productions, released on labels such as iDEAL Recordings and Whities, are defined by dense percussion and disorientating, intoxicating textures, drawing together seemingly opposing forces: precision and chaos, sensuality and abrasion, physicality and atmosphere. As a DJ, she channels this same explosive energy, colliding contemporary club and experimental electronics with striking dexterity and instinct. Her solo sets offer the deepest dive into that singular vision, while her back-to-backs, including one with Vlada at Dekmantel Festival, show how readily it meets other voices.
