JSMN: The Brooklyn Producer Mastering the Art of Physical, Groove-Driven Techno

JSMN (Jasmine Mann) is a Brooklyn-based DJ and producer originally from Detroit who is currently redefining the international techno circuit through a relentless focus on percussive movement.

JSMN has fast become synonymous for bridging the gap between hypnotic hardgroove and high-energy techno. Channelling the rhythmic energy of her competitive Bhangra background, her sonic architecture revolves around rolling percussion and textured layers that stack and shifts over time. Rather than relying on standard tropes, she focuses on building a sense of unstoppable momentum. This atmospheric yet functional approach has led to a string of high-authority releases on labels including Kaligo Records, Crudo Audio UK, and DONKER. These records, alongside a guest mixes for Tronic Radio, have positioned her as a leading emerging player in the modern hardgroove revival.

“Her sets are built on rolling percussion and textured layers that stack and shift over time. The focus stays on movement and pressure, keeping things driving and physical.”

JSMN’s live schedule reflects her rapidly expanding global footprint. In North America, she has headlined major rooms in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, including performances at Brooklyn Storehouse, Elsewhere, and 99 Scott. Her international reach includes high-impact sets at London’s E1 and The Cause, alongside a significant appearance at Terminal V Edinburgh. She has shared lineups with industry titans such as Anfisa Letyago, François X, AIROD, T78, and Lilly Palmer, collaborating with elite promoters including TELETECH and Insomniac.

As a visible figure in the techno underground, JSMN brings a perspective informed by the universal language of rhythm. She continues to leverage her Detroit heritage and London club experiences – including sets at Royal Highland Centre – to push the boundaries of hypnotic techno. With her technical precision and clear artistic vision, JSMN is positioned as a defining force in the 2026 landscape.
