Jan Loup

Jan Loup treats bass music just like a malleable substance: stretched, bruised and reassembled in real time. From her secluded Toulouse studio, she cultivates sound organisms that breathe and snarl: dubstep hollowed out to its pressure zones, drum & bass bent into darker contours, halftempo rhythms slipping between control and collapse. Nothing settles for long. Textures are allowed to fray, grooves to warp, atmosphere to thicken until genre becomes secondary to sensation.

Active since 2018, her path has been defined by motion rather than positioning. Known for refusing stasis behind the decks, each one of her sets is recalibrated according to context, crowd and room acoustics. One night leans heavy and obscure, the next skitters toward sharper, more agile structures, all bound by an instinctive sense of balance that keeps volatility purposeful. This elasticity has earned her sustained recognition well beyond French borders, where her consistency lies precisely in never repeating herself.

Parallel to her solo work which has been released on Nerve Collect, Jupiter4 or NAFF, Jan Loup is firmly anchored in collective dynamics. Through the Comité des Fêtes party and an ongoing soundsystem itinerancy, she’s part of an alternative culture that values shared tools, mutual care and a liberated vision of the dancefloor.
