Listen to Jon Hopkins’ outstanding debut Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1

For those who are (somehow) unaware of Jon Hopkins and the absolute beauty he makes, as you’ll hear Pete Tong explain in the introduction to his debut Essential Mix, he’s a twice-nominated Mercury Prize winner while being a DJ, producer, composer, and performer, writing film scores and creating collaborations with the likes of Coldplay and Bat For Lashes while continuing to produce his own works of art.

It comes off last year’s release of his album ‘Immunity‘, which saw an ‘Asleep Versions’ EP drop just recently with alternate versions of tunes from the record featured on it. Here’s what he said about his Essential Mix:

“It feels amazing to be part of a mix series that has been going for 20 years, and to join a line up that has included so many people whose music i admire,” he wrote. “I put a lot of work into this, trying to showcase the tracks that have influenced my recent album and live shows, and trying to build a real musical structure and journey over the 2 hours. I really hope everyone enjoys it.”

Hopkins’ mix includes an unreleased song ‘Interlude’ by the man himself alongside music from Recondite, Untold, Dan Deacon, Skudge, Boddika and more. This is stunning, and yet again: no words.

Catch him at next years Laneway Festival alongside Flying Lotus, Rustie, SOHN, Seekae, Caribou and plenty more.
