After the Hurricane of fun and adventure that was the Big Freedia show, the RRR crew brings you the sounds of Jubilee. We decided to take a break from tending to our terrariums to, you know, like get Lok’d out to some tunes…I mean it will be Cinco de Mayo after all, right?

DJ Jubilee

The Brooklyn-based DJ Jubilee, whose real name is Jessica Gentile, is one-third of the crew behind Flashing Lights, NYC’s best (and only) house-techno-disco rave in a Chinese restaurant. With Nick Catchdubs and D.J. Ayres, Jubilee hosted Flashing Lights in assorted venues around the city for more than a year before landing at 88 Palace, a Chinatown dim-sum joint. The monthly dance night pulls in huge crowds thanks to bass-heavy jams and well-known guests (including A-Trak, Flosstradamus, and La Roux). We spoke to Jubilee about switching from TV to raves, convincing people to come to Manhattan, and what exactly Rave Juice is made of.
