Jon Hopkins - "Collider"

VideosadminComment

Electronic music producer Jon Hopkins drops some visuals for the song "Collider," which is one of the many great tracks from his latest full-length, Immunity, which you can catch a review for below.

The story here seems to follow one girl reliving a nightmarish night at the club that involves some epileptic fits--I'm assuming they're drug-related--and one of the most aggressive make out sessions I've seen in a while. The last third actually becomes slightly uncomfortable to watch as our female protagonist struggles against the grip of some fellow clubgoer who looks like he's trying to help her--uh, I think.

Natasha Khan & Jon Hopkins - "Garden's Heart"

London electronic music producer Jon Hopkins has been hard at work on the score for the upcoming film How I Live Now. At one point, he decided to team up with Natasha Khan, a.k.a. Bats for Lashes, for a one-off single to be featured in the movie's soundtrack. The result is a beautifully-sung ballad that manages to be lush despite of its sparse bassline foundation.

The song  is accompanied by a gritty, yet fantastical music video helmed by Khan, starring Saoirse Ronan, the film's lead actress. It will also be made available for digital download on October 7 via Parlophone.

Electronic music producer Jon Hopkins drops a hypnotic, new single from his forthcoming album, Immunity, which will be on Domino Records at the start of June. This track is beautifully layered, and I'm just loving the grit and the groove of the beat on this thing. Enjoy!
