This latest 1 More Mix comes courtesy of the melodic, funky sounds of Tassone. Hailing from the scene down under, Tassone’s soulful sounds have more than regularly been heard through sound systems at clubs, festivals and warehouses in both hemispheres.
From shelling out at your typical Australian bush doof, jazzy cocktail bars to iconic venues like Sydney’s Home Bar, the aura around Tassone is one of inspiration and determination as she overcame challenges like gender discrimination in her local scene and delivered a speech at a UN conference on what it’s like to be a female DJ.
Following a successful British summer schedule which included headlining Motion in Bristol, she’s showing no signs of slowing down any time soon as summer in Australia is well and truly underway. Fresh from the release of her most recent Our Time EP on Soul Deep, Jessica will play a sizzling season of shows in her homeland including sharing the stage with the likes of Basement Jaxx, Faithless, LTJ Bukem and Dillinja at Day One on New Years Day in Sydney.
This all comes before a move to the UK to pursue her dream further and continue to be fierce by aspiring to work closer with femme-forward families like Just Be, EQ50 and Full Spectrum. This mix delves into numerous sub genres and the varying sounds resonate with Jessica’s musical origins which include 80’s rock, Latino, theatre musicals and accordion players in her grandma’s living room. The journey continued by discovering UK bass music in her teens and being introduced to jazz by a Seattle taxi driver.
We recently spoke to Tassone all about her time as an artist, what’s in store for the future, her thoughts on the drum & bass scene and much more. It’s full of twists and turns just like this melodic mix, so fetch your flip-flops, fan yourselves down, listen in, prepare for summery vibes and read our exclusive interview as we learn all about Tassone…
