HOPKINS, JON

Originally released in 2009 Insides is Jon Hopkins's third solo album, following on from Opalescent and Contact Note. It paved the way for both Immunity (his hypnotic breakthrough solo album) and Diamond Mine (his collaboration with King Creosote) which attracted Mercury nominations and for his recently released fifth solo artist album, Singularity. Cited by The New Yorker as "One of the most celebrated electronic musicians of his generation", Hopkins has forged a reputation for music that marries the dance floor to the devotional, and for live performances that are visceral, generous and charged with a rapt, sensuous beauty.
