Bio:
Jerrilynn Patton is probably the biggest thing to ever come out of Gary, Indiana since the Jackson 5. After briefly attending Purdue University as a math major, Jlin returned home, supporting herself by working in a steel mill. In 2008, after encouragement via online correspondence with DJ Rashad, she began making her own music. Though commonly classified as footwork, she was hesitant to release her track "Erotic Heat" due to its unconventional sound. But Mike Paradinas (µ-Ziq) and Planet Mu records would insist, releasing the track on Bangs & Works, Vol. 2 (2011), which brought notoriety and fame. In 2015, Jlin released Dark Energy to universal acclaim - and was named best album of the year by The Quietus and The Wire. In 2017, the equally acclaimed Black Origami was released, featuring collaborations with William Basinski, Holly Herndon, Fawkes, and Dope Saint Jude. Critics have drawn parallels to the early works of Aphex Twin, for the possibilities of both losing your mind on the dance floor and academic analysis. But there will be none of the B E L T S A N D E R during her performance at Sasquatch.

What to Expect:
Hard-hitting beats that will shatter your brain and rattle your spinal column into another dimension. You'll most likely find her later in the evening in the tent, but she is blowing up right now, so she may end up on the Bigfoot. Expect sweat. I've seen her twice, both in Seattle, a city notorious for its propensity to stand still during concerts - and the crowd was moving more than I've ever seen.
