Establishing the mood with a cosmic riser and glitched vocal ad-libs of the title of the track, building into a dimensional EDM-adjacent soundscape, Jessi Lowkey opens Give You Up with dynamism, surrealism and a touch of subversion.
The opus expands into a dancefloor-friendly anthem, tapping into an empowering theme that feels familiar, yet fresh. We appreciate the boundless energy of the synths, the celestial frequencies, and the refined vocal production.
The ebbs and flows are masterful, designed to maximise the euphoric experience, and just after the mid-way point we also experience some bubble synth sounds which tap into a hyperpop adjacency before a 90s club style piano leads us through to a gated finale.
We learn that Sydney-based DJ and producer Jessi Lowkey is quickly rising through the UKG, bassline and house scenes with her energetic sound. Give You Up is designed to blend euphoric Tomorrowland-style vibes with rolling basslines, capturing her signature mix of emotion and energy.
It is no surprise that Jessi has already charted in Beatport’s UKG Top 100, gained support from BBC Radio 1Xtra and UKF, and shared stages with major names like Defected World Tour, DJ Q, S.P.Y, and KLP.
Born in London and now based in Sydney, Jessi grew up immersed in funk, soul, UKG, house, DnB, and the UK rave scene. She’s passionate about strengthening female representation in the DJ world. Her fast-growing career has seen her play alongside Belters Only, Cloonee, Gene Farris, Horse Meat Disco, Melanie C, and many more.
Naturally, we love what Jessi Lowkey is creating, and have added Give You Up to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to stream her wider discography, including Build Me Up, and Jealous Girl, and anticipate future releases from the star.
