Reinier Zonneveld and HI-LO continue their superb collaborative work with another pair of bangers on Filth on Acid. ‘Samsara’, out via Filth On Acid, comes just in time to ring in the new year with it’s fat-bottomed bassline bound to heat up dancefloors worldwide. After another goldmine of a studio session, Reinier and HI-LO will drop ‘Nirvana’ on January 6th.
This pair has served up plenty of winners already such as Saw Of Olympus, Balearic Mornings, Existencia, and String Theory. Now once again they bring all their experiences to the studio after having had a huge 2022 as solo artists with plenty of big tunes and headline shows all over the world.
Nirvana and Samsara are two cuts that encourage you to lose your mind on the dance floor while dreaming amongst the melodies. Samsara has machine gun synths that fire like lasers across the uplifting trance chords. The drums are so heavy they will rattle the walls and it all makes for a powerful tune. Nirvana has a real sense of techno funk with intoxicating Middle Eastern vocal sounds over hard edged drums and with bright synth work.
This is a brilliant way to kick off 2023 in top techno fashion.

Today, Jon Hopkins reveals a transcendent new collaboration with Brazilian techno producer ANNA. Evolving over a month-long trans-Atlantic collaborative process, “Deep In The Glowing Heart (Night Version)”, feels like an explosive release of energy, inspired by Hopkins’ return to regular DJing this year. With early versions of this track being premiered to huge crowds by both artists at their DJ sets across the world – including ANNA at Coachella, and Hopkins at Fabric – the Night Version is now available to hear widely for the first time.

The original version of “Deep In The Glowing Heart” is found on Jon Hopkins’ latest studio album Music For Psychedelic Therapy, released in November last year. Talking about the song, Hopkins said there is a feeling that “music can cleanse you, music can guide you through”. The Night Version takes you on a very different journey.

Hopkins says of the collaboration:
“I first came across ANNA’s music through her track Hidden Beauties, which I found myself playing in DJ sets all the time and always goes down so well. I then asked her to remix Singularity and the results were so amazing I was super keen to work with her again but in a more collaborative way, rather than just handing over stems. We went back and forth a lot and it flowed really well. I love how this one turned out, it’s such a meeting of our two styles.”

ANNA adds:
“It is a big honor to be able to create music together with Jon. His music is part of my daily life, part of my meditations, my long walks and contemplative moments. My remix for his track ‘Singularity’ had a huge impact on my career and getting to know Jon better since then, and collaborate on this version of DITGH, it feels like our relationship has come full circle!”

Music For Psychedelic Therapy was Hopkins’ first full-length since sister albums, the GRAMMY-nominated Singularity (2018) and Immunity (2013), it was a departure in sound from these records; “an album with no beats, not one drum sound, something that is closer to a classical symphony than a dance / electronica record.”

Alongside festival appearances this summer, Jon Hopkins is pleased to present several special playback events where there will be an immersive playback of Music For Psychedelic Therapy in full. Having run several of these gatherings previously in London, Austin and Los Angeles, upcoming dates include Wilderness Festival and Ireland’s Body & Soul Festival.

Jon Hopkins has recently composed the score in 360 spatial sound for Unboxed Festival’s Dreammachine. Similarly positioned to Hopkins most recent album, Dreammachine is a multi-sensory experience based on Brion Gysin’s original flicker device and aims to unlock the mind through lights and music.
