FUCKBEATZ by JESSXO

ARE YOU READY TO GET SWEATY?...

FROM UNITED JUMP FRONT CAPTAIN AND CO-CREATOR JESSXO COMES (OR SHOULD I SAY CUMS...) FUCKBEATZ! WITH 5 TRAX OF JUMPSTYLE, HARD HOUSE, AND CLUBTEK MEANT TO MAKE U GROOVE IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHTCLUB, THE BLARING RGB LIGHTS OF THE RAVE, OR GETTIN' IT ON THE CRIB. FUCKBEATZ IS A LETHAL SHOWCASE OF A UNITED SOUND BETWEEN JUMPSTYLE, TECHNO, CLUB MUSIC, AND HARD HOUSE SOUNDS!

One of the first conversations I ever had with Jess was me, being a typical young, angsty dj who had been fighting for a place in the rave scene we had both newly found ourselves apart of. I specifically remember this moment at which I had told Jess "I hate techno" to forward my personal aggressive spirit that I relinquish through my personal creations with jungle, drum and bass, and hardcore sounds. Jess, over the course of the years leading up to us really starting UJF, told me at that point two-ish years ago "one day I will make you love it."

There were times we used to go home after raves, watching all these other djs which we now call friends and family, hoping that, with any luck we could be playing alongside them some day, and we would sit in Jess's bedroom and just dj together for hours until the sun came up. It was in those moments where I experienced a lot of clashing, and combining of different sounds that I previously had been too scared to approach. It was also in those moments where Jess introduced me to jumpstyle as a genre, and showed me all this music which began a long-spanning obsession with bouncy kicks, weird synth stabs, and goofy club vox samples.

I personally think that JESSXO, more than anyone, embodies the lethal-force and message of UNITED JUMP FRONT as a label. There was this point at which I had felt like the rave/electronic music scene that was established in Brooklyn was very divided between people who were pushing the sounds established in the mid-late 2010s, the Hardcore revival, blogwave-style breakcore, and hyperpop-influenced dance music, and those focused more on techno, club grooves, and slower bpm dance music. I watched JESSXO shift from being a masterful DJ of hardcore and internet-centric sounds into a very serious, aware, and powerful DJ of club, techno, and jump music. In watching her make that transition, together, we noticed this ability she had to play within both sectors of our scene, and build a bridge of sounds we all shared in common, that started with jumpstyle. Techno DJS would reach out to me and Jess talking about jumpstyle and hard house, talking about Jess's sets playing music "they've always loved been was never sure about playing." Hardcore/Rave djs in our community began speaking to us about hard house and newstyle, and we saw this passion for the force of jump that put everyone on the same page.

TO PUT IT SIMPLY: United Jump Front, everything it stands for, everything we do, and our intentions with what we do, started with the blending of all these different genres that existed within our scene, that truly, to me, began with all those times I watched JESSXO go "this is some shit called jumpstyle"

If you have seen JESSXO's recent releases, then you'll understand why I say this tape is no different. Her current style in techno, schranz, and club music really shines on this tape with a lethal combination of her classically established sound in jump: You know when you hear a JESSXO song every single time they come on the function, you know what her kicks sound like, you know what her synths sound like, and you know that NO ONE ELSE is carrying her arsenal. FUCKBEATZ is the ultimate culmination of a the last few years of JESSXO's development as a producer, dj, and label-runner within the Brooklyn rave scene.
