Jerilynn Patton (US) is one of the most prominent female footwork producers of the current generation, pushing the genre forward and ‘moving the genre beyond the dancefloor’. Her critically hailed 2015 debut-album, Dark Energy, combines feverish rhythms with mangled vocal snippets. The music sounds forceful, yet ripples with colour; an intense, solid sound with rugged rhythms that stop and breathe and roll out in unusual staccato patterns.
