Jessica Audiffred

Jessica Audiffred plays REALM PDX on Saturday, October 10, with RayBurger on the bill as well. Audiffred is a Mexico City-born DJ and producer who's spent the last few years establishing herself at the forefront of global bass music. If you've caught her before, you know the sound: it's a genre-blending mix of bass house, dubstep, and the kind of festival anthems that work just as well on a dance floor as they do in a massive crowd. She's played some of the world's biggest festivals and venues, and this is one of those dates that brings that scale down to a local room.

One thing that sets her apart from a lot of what you'll hear in the bass scene is that she doesn't rely on pre-programmed sets. She builds her performances on the fly, which means no two nights end up the same and the energy shifts based on what's happening in the room. That's a big part of why her sets feel more like a live performance than a playback.

Beyond the DJ booth, she's the founder of A Records, a label she started to champion Latin electronic talent. She's also the artist behind Rave New World, her acclaimed debut album, which gives you a good sense of where her sound comes from and where it's heading.

RayBurger joins her on the lineup, so there's more than one act to catch. The show starts at 9 PM at REALM PDX, 615 Southeast Alder Street in Portland, and tickets run from $20 to $30.
