Finding herself leaning heavily on the minimal aspect of her already fine tuned taste. Jessi took to Romania regularly attending festivals and events to drown in the unique sound of Ro-minimal where she found a likeminded network that presented the opportunity to flex her musical muscles to dance floors across Romania.
