about
From polyrhythmic techno to techy minimal drum & bass, the past 13 years have found the Brazilian-American producer Andre Lira, aka Doctor Jeep, exploring dance music from a global lens. In his mid 20’s, he quickly gained notoriety as one of NYC’s most eclectic young selectors, blending everything from the UK sounds of Dubstep, Jungle, and Garage to regional American sounds like Miami Bass and Baltimore Club. With DJ sets mixing the past, present, and future of dance music in some of North America and Europe’s best clubs, and festival appearances at Outlook, Bass Coast, Bonnaroo, and EDC, he has proven to adapt to any vibe and make it his own style of party. Production-wise, Jeep’s music has been described as “a sound somewhere between the forward-thinking bass mutations of Cosmic Bridge, the grinding 808 electro of Swamp81, and the breakbeat-heavy stylings of early 90′s UK rave music.” In the past decade he's released through a wide range of international labels such as Colombia's TraTraTrax, Berlin’s SPE:C, NYC's Trouble & Bass (R.I.P.), his own imprint DRX, and many more. He’s been featured in worldwide media publications like Pitchfork, Resident Advisor, Mixmag, DJ Mag, and XLR8R for his genre-hopping mixes and ever-evolving production style, and with DJ support from a diverse set of tastemakers such as Four Tet, Ben UFO, Special Request, and Objekt, to Diplo, Claude VonStroke, Maya Jane Coles, and beyond, the future looks bright for this multifaceted producer.
