Phlip It & Reverse It…

J. Phlip is one of those rare gifted DJs who I love to listen to…”, says Claude Vonstroke. J.Phlip is Jessica Phillipe from Illinois, in fact from a town just 2 hours south of the City of House to be precise. She’s an official member of the dirtybird crew and is currently Claude Vonstroke’s right-hand woman, warming up for him at a string of big name events with her genre-bending sets. In short, J.Phlip started out on a $100 roughed-up set of old belt drives, secured a residency in San Fran., signed to dirtybird, then caught the Berlin bug in Spring 2010 and is supposedly now in Europe.

Collaborations and remix opportunities with the dirtybird family truly show off her production. Most notable is the bass-heavy 2009 hit California; a collaboration with the main man himself. To get a bit more familiar with her style, there’s also her original dirtybird release Rumble Rumble from 2008, or more recently, Droppin Bomz On Your Momz from May this year. She has strayed away from dirtybird at times and Beatport can show you a number of other releases for labels such as Airdrop, Full Flavour and Nightlight Music.

The J. Phlip SoundCloud page houses at least half a dozen great mixes for promo, Proton and Buzzin Fly. What really inspired this post is a vinyl-only mix called The Other Side; highly sentimental, it’s her last vinyl-only mix, recorded in 2006 when she was still in college. There’s a little bit of everything spread across the hour and it still sounds so fresh:
