Jubilee's festival flavours and gnarly bass made her a champion in 2016

Kicking things off with a follow-up to last year’s ‘Magic City’ compilation, a showcase of the best in Miami bass-inspired music and an insight into her armoury of records, the Brooklyn-based DJ’s also been touring heavily in Europe and North America, both alone and with the Mixpak crew. “It’s been a pretty crazy year. Living in New York you’re always busy and with all the stuff I’ve done, it’s been a lot. But it feels like everything’s starting to pay off.”

But Jubilee’s year doesn’t end there, as she’s just released her debut album ‘After Hours’, a culmination of two years work and “the biggest thing I’ve ever done.” It’s a party-focused record, full of festival flavour and, in a year where dancehall has increasingly become a reference point for titans like Drake and Rihanna, it blasts with deep soundsystem rumbles while also touching upon elements of Miami bass, ghetto house and acid grooves.

With a winning performance at Red Bull Culture Clash, dropping records from Gaika, Palmistry, Wildlife! and Konshens, as well as regular parties at New York’s Trans Pecos, it’s been a colossal year for Mixpak. And Jubilee has been a very big part of that. “Being with my crew is always the best,” she says – but with or without them, Jubilee has been unstoppable.
