Jess Bays - DJ & Producer

Описание: #djpodcast #photographypodcast #jessbays #podcast #dancemusicpodcast

In this episode of Frame the Beat, I’m joined by a very special guest and good friend — the incredibly talented DJ Jess Bays.

Jess is a true force on the global dance scene, lighting up dancefloors from Ibiza to Brazil, Australia to the USA. She’s commanded massive festival stages including Parklife, Latitude, Reading & Leeds, and We Are FSTVL, and her tracks are regularly picked up by major players like Defected, Warner, Universal, and Sony.

You’ve likely heard her music blasting across the airwaves on BBC Radio 1, Kiss, and Capital — and when she’s not behind the decks, Jess she’s been behind the mic as a presenter on Rinse FM and Capital Dance, with frequent guest spots on Kiss and Radio 1. Simply put, she’s everywhere — and she’s smashing it.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Jess on press shoots and capturing her electric energy at live events, and over time, we’ve built a solid friendship. That means this episode isn’t just about the music — we’re diving into deeper conversations, stories from the road, and what drives Jess behind the scenes.

Tune in for a proper natter — it’s one you won’t want to miss.

Trigger warning - please note; we do touch on tough subjects such as eating disorders and addiction.
