Two days ago I was triggered by @iamevilradio who posted about Jon Hopkins (post here) as part of his little project to bring forward interesting videos of music tracks he really likes; Mostly techno, but also some other genres. Must say: Some very cool video clips! And about the music itself? Well, this guy is known for going for the quality stuff!

Getting curious? Check his channel, and when interested in the cool music videos, go through his posts of last week, about seven of them.

Now back to why I write this post: Jon Hopkins

Immediately after hearing the track in the previous mentioned post, I started to check his other works at Soundcloud... one of my goto music sources, together with Spotify (I have a subscription with them), Bandcamp and sometimes YouTube.

Listening to some works of this guy - clicking through his works for half an hour - resulted in goosebumps! WOW! This guy is good!

To allow me to work while listening, I prefer to listen to sets; The hunt for a cool one was on... Went back years and years, since I wanted to hear what he has done in the past. Two recordings did please me a lot, of which the one I listened to several times by now is included below.

I really like to hear this guy live! Fortunately he is programmed at coming Dekmantel festival, early August. Unfortunately, I'll be in Poland, at Garbicz festival; Also very cool and looking very much forward to coming edition, but no Jon Hopkins :(

He'll be at Sonar Reykjavik in April; Never been to Iceland; On my TODO list; So maybe shall book a trip?... orrrrr... I simply go to an event called Catch 2019 which is on at Tivoli in Utrecht end-ish March - just a half an hour drive away from my home :)

In the mean time, I'm enjoying the set below very very much!
