Jon Hopkins is a producer and musician known for his melodic electronica, dance, and soundtrack music. Born on 15 August 1979 in Kingston upon Thames, London, England, he has gained recognition for his unique style of writing and performing.

From an early age, Jon Hopkins showed a natural talent for music. He honed his skills as a producer and musician over the years, experimenting with different genres and techniques. His dedication to his craft led him to create mesmerizing compositions that blend electronic elements with intricate melodies.
Not only does Jon Hopkins produce original tracks that resonate with listeners, but he also delves into the world of soundtrack music. His ability to capture emotions through sound has earned him collaborations with renowned filmmakers and artists alike.

By turns devotional, empowering and nurturing, Jon Hopkins’ forthcoming Ritual is a 41-minute electronic symphony built from cavernous subs, hypnotic drumming and transcendent melodic interplay. Tense, immersive and ultimately triumphant, it is a culmination of themes explored throughout his 22-year career, and acts as the kinetic counterpart to 2021’s Music For Psychedelic Therapy.

A single piece unfolding over eight chapters, Ritual is personified by depth and contrast. Taking ceremony, spiritual liberation and the hero's journey as inspiration, it taps into an ancient and primal energy.

Featuring long-term collaborators Vylana, 7RAYS, Ishq, Clark, Emma Smith, Daisy Vatalaro and Cherif Hashizume, Ritual came together within the second half of 2023, but initial seeds were sown in 2022, when Hopkins was commissioned to compose for the stroboscopic Dreamachine experience in London. A project that felt ceremonial from the outset, this shorter piece was the embryo of&nbsp;Ritual, with Hopkins gaining inspiration from the feeling of intention that is inherent in the Dreamachine space.

Ritual&nbsp;is both emotionally and sonically heavy, whilst retaining a warm, live feel, where the juxtaposition between softness and intensity forms the core of the whole. So take time, prepare and immerse in Ritual for 41 minutes of uninterrupted listening: sonic divination of the most potent form.
