You Need to Listen to This Mix by the 'Queen of R&B Edits'
For our 13th mix in the series, Jordss, a London based DJ and radio host on Rinse FM mixes us a R&B dream. Named 'Queen of R&B edits' by Boiler Room Jordss is known for playing recognisable favourites with a twist and never scared to throw in a curveball or three. As a third generation Jamaican growing up in London Jordss draws influences from her Caribbean roots blended with gritty London garage beats and an undying love of R&B. Put those 3 things in a pot and you get a Jordss mix. Jordss is also founder of 'Girls Can't DJ' a community and database made to eradicate gender imbalance in the DJing community by encouraging women to learn how to DJ and promoting existing female talent.
What was your inspiration for this mix?
The thought of being on a group holiday with my friends inspired this mix. It's made for a sunny day lounging poolside in your villa with your mates or getting ready for a night out on the strip. I can fully imagine us poolside singing along, bopping our heads and gun fingering to this.
Share a music related favourite music related travel memory.
Crop over in Barbados is my favourite music memory and maybe favourite memory ever. There's something about Soca music that physically moves your body. That feeling of chipping through Bridgetown in my feathers dancing to Lil Rick with everyone in sight singing and dancing along will stay with me forever.
Where are you most looking forward to travelling to and why?
2020 is the first year of my life not attending any carnival at all, so Trinidad 2021 may have to see me. Chasing carnivals in 2021 is definitely top priority on my travel list.
