Jess Farley caught our ear from her killer Ran$om Note mix. Beyond being a great selector it turns out she’s also pushing some real positivity into the scene by promoting an event called ‘Rhythm Sister’ aimed at helping women develop within dance music through parties, DJ workshops and beyond. We caught up with her below.
“Hiyaa! I’ve just got back from ADE and had a fairly hectic summer, so many festivals! I only started playing out this year so lots of my free time is spent at my decks or digging for music, loving it. I also work in artist management and at Love International Festival and I’ve just started a female music project called Rhythm Sister which is a DJ collective and network to encourage girls to get involved in music. So yeh things are very busy!
The mix was recorded in my bedroom in my PJs as standard ha.
Winter is coming! So I went a little moodier with this one. I enjoy loads of genres and love putting different music together so it flows and almost has a narrative to it. I’m obsessed with finding music from all over the world, I love breaks and I’m really into synthy, chuggy, percussive stuff atm, so it’s a blend of all that I guess. Oh and some self indulgent disco at the end ;)
I have a few Rhythm Sister events coming up and I’m playing Motion Bristol (with you guys!) on the 26th of Nov and Magic Door in London on the 10th December. Genuinely think I’m still depressed after Brexit so I shall be flying out of here and somewhere hot for Christmas ha.”
