Jesse Rivera

From the moment Jesse went to his first warehouse party he was drawn to house and techno music. Learning to DJ helped him discover the sounds of Chicago and get to know the music being created in the city close to home – Detroit. After getting his first set of turntables, he purchased a keyboard and sampler to learn production and try to make something he could play. It wasn’t until a few years later when Jesse moved to Chicago that he was able to share some demos with his soon to be business partner and get his music released. This would also be his first time being a label owner. In 2015, after many releases and remixes, Jesse partnered up with a new team to start another label – Bassment Tapes.
