LA-based DJ and yogi Jessica Skye channels her flow state on emotive new single ‘Virgo Rising’, out 3rd March on Platoon.
‘Virgo Rising’ is the lead track from Skye’s forthcoming album Fluō State 001, coming later this year. A spiritual take on dance music, the track combines crisp percussion with a deep and melodic house groove, as emotive synths and ethereal vocals glide over steel drums to evoke an escape to a sun-kissed beach.
Jessica Skye has been making waves in the wellness and music scene for the last decade, touring the globe teaching yoga by day and DJing by night. Working the dance floors from London to LA, standout shows have included iconic venues and festivals such as Ministry of Sound, Creamfields, Lovebox, Parklife, Snowbombing, as well as Feel Festival and Sisyphos, and supporting the likes of Groove Armada, Nightmares on Wax, Dave Lee and Todd Terry.
While the worlds of DJing and teaching yoga might seem polarised, for Jessica, dance music is spiritual and the two worlds hold so many parallels. Her DJ sets and productions – whether music-focused yoga retreats or events from the top of glaciers and sunny rooftops to countless festivals and sandy beaches – are designed to hold a safe space for people to unwind, move to the music and find a sense of flow. Now based in LA, Jessica is an Apple Fitness+ trainer where she curates and leads yoga workouts, mindful cooldowns and meditations.
‘Virgo Rising’ is a deep, melodic and downtempo work inspired by the ebb and flow of yogic energy – a melodic house meditation that sets the tone for Jessica Skye’s forthcoming album.
