IBSXJAUR was born from the meeting of JAUR (pop singer-songwriter) and INFRABASSESATURE (electronic music producer). The duo embodies the underground nightlife dancefloor, blending drum and bass with raw, melodic and fearless pop. The project emerged from an unlikely encounter in a garden in Paris, during a free party interrupted by the police. That moment led to a first collaboration in 2022, with IBS taking part in JAUR’s solo project, becoming the starting point for the official creation of IBSXJAUR. Like a sudden storm, IBSXJAUR appeared without warning on the emerging scene, making a resounding impact. After several electrifying performances (Festival Emergente, Sobe à Vila at Vodafone Paredes de Coura, Festival TiMilha, The Great Escape (UK), Serralves em Festa, among others), the duo quickly captured the attention of the underground circuit and the most eager music lovers in search of new sounds. After three EPs, they released their debut full-length album — “SANITY “— at the end of 2025. A record that explores the fusion of drum and bass, breakcore and hyperpop, released by the Portuguese label Cuca Monga. The album explores the complexities of mental health, navigating personal challenges and social pressures. With intense and frenetic rhythms, it reflects the feeling of stress and helplessness in the face of the speed of the modern world. It addresses themes such as anxiety, depression and the creation of an alter ego, tackling subjects often considered taboo.
On stage, their concerts are explosive. “SANITY” becomes even more intense live. IBS, with the melodic foundation, and JAUR, with her impeccable voice, convey in every movement the urgency of the times we live in, while inviting us to break free from those constraints through dance, in a perfect union between artist and audience. With a sound marked by aggressive synthesizers, dense basslines and melodic vocals, the project asserts a unique sonic and visual identity, inspired by free party culture, DIY ethics, and the creative contrast between the two members of the group.
Inspired by artists such as The Prodigy, Paramore and SOPHIE, “SANITY” is a 12-track album that breathes the anxieties of a new generation that grew up in a digitized world in constant upheaval. It expresses an urgent unrest — that of a youth confronted with deeply generational issues.
Despite its darker tone, “SANITY” balances its narrative through a burlesque approach that softens the discourse and offers a more lucid and accessible perspective.
“IBSXJAUR have shown that they are not just creating music; they are sculpting experiences, transforming electronic sound
into pure energy, and turning each show into a space of connection, introspection and release. (…) The duo is one of the
most fascinating forces in the new Portuguese electronic scene — intense, intimate, and absolutely unforgettable.”
