JEN PAYNE

Kildare-based DJ and producer Jen Payne is breaking down boundaries in the Irish music scene, racking up 140K monthly listeners on Spotify alongside her weekly radio show on Spin 1038 where she showcases DJ talent from all over Ireland.

Her 2022 track 'Pon De Replay' soared up the charts on another download site, making her the first female artist in the UK & Ireland to deliver a solo Tech-House Top 10 track on the platform, and now sits at a modest 1.6M streams on Spotify. Jen's releases have been regularly spun on Capital Dance, RTE 2FM, Spin 1038 & Beat FM and supported by FISHER at his residency in Hï Ibiza, and Afrojack spinning Jen's 'Freed From Desire' on the MainStage at Tomorrowland 2023, and many more major stations.

All eyes are on Payne this year with her being named as one of RET 2FM's Rising Acts of 2023. The past 12 months alone has seen Jen release her Danny Howard-approved "Feed Your Soul" mix, a killer techno recreation of the classic "Toca's Miracle", and a supremely addictive deep-house jam "Fired Up", and most recently her own take on the infamous Irish track "The Galway Girl", in collaboration with original writers Mundy and Sharon Shannon.

"I love the rave bangers but I also love to play tracks people can sing along too! My dancefloor mission: to have you singing and sweating in rhythmic harmony." - Jen Payne

Jen performed at festivals all over Ireland this summer, including warming up for Sonny Fodera at Cork's "One Day Festival", Longitude, Forbidden Fruit, Sea Sessions, Indiependence and Electric Picnic, and club shows throughout London.
