Jackie Jr.

Never staying in one rhythm for too long, Jackie Jr. keeps dancers guessing, balancing energy and emotion, rhythm and texture, with a warmth that invites you in. Rooted in Amsterdam’s deep electronic lineage, he learned to step onto the dance floor with open ears and no fixed expectations. Inspired by the UK’s ever-shifting club landscape, his sets carry a sound system sensibility: bass-driven, spacious, and alive with movement. Blending this with a lifelong affinity for hip hop, he channels the sampling spirit of US scenes like Baltimore and Jersey club, weaving in playful nods to pop culture and everyday life. As co-founder of Kurashi, a collective linking the Caribbean and Latin America with Europe, he’s developed a wide musical lens, one that hears connections between continents as easily as between genres.
