Jon Hopkins - Welcome to Littlebig!

November 14, 2008

Get aquainted with the new superstar of electronic music. Composer, pianist and a self-taught studio wizard Jon Hopkins makes big, bold music using walls of synths, twinkling melodies and amorphous bass rumbles. His skills are impeccable - from Herbie Hancock to David Holmes, contemporary choreographer Wayne McGregor (Random Dance), lo-fi folkster King Creosote, not to mention his current tourbus buddies Coldplay, have all called upon the 28-year-old Londoner's handiwork as a producer and composer. Oh, and he's been collaborating on various projects over the past 5 years with Brian Eno...

Hopkins new album Insides (with a March release date soon to be announced by a very well known label!) is a luscious treasure with more than enough to satisfy the most hardened technoid critics and your Mother all at the same time. Check his myspace here and listen to Vessel - you'll see what we mean. It's going to be BIG.

Hopkins begins a US/UK tour as main support for Coldplay, before preparing for his own launch into the wider sphere in 2009, conducted with passion by your friends here at Littlebig. Email info [at] littlebig.org.uk for more...
