Jess Hands is heating things up ahead of London’s Body Movements Festival with an exclusive mixtape, sharing the energy and vibes she’ll bring to the stage! Since her breakout set at Percolate’s women-only festival Risen, Jess has quickly emerged as a key player in the UK’s underground electronic scene. Known for her emotionally charged, bass-heavy sets, she has supported renowned artists like Octo Octa and Eris Drew, securing her place among the festival circuit’s rising stars.
With performances scheduled at iconic venues and festivals worldwide, including Body Movements and Outlook Festival in Croatia, Jess continues to captivate audiences in both intimate clubs and larger settings. Her eclectic sound—rooted in UK bass and leftfield techno—offers an intuitive, dance-driven experience that resonates deeply on the dancefloor.
