People think that electronic music has to crush you with a decadent drop or intense buildup; not the case with Jon Hopkins. The adulty digital maestro released an absolute banger of a track with “Emerald Rush.” Not to be outdone, but the debut single is accompanied by a vibrant anime video directed by Robert Hunter & Elliot Dear. One good turn deserves another, and with the first bit of new material since 2013, Hopkins announced the release of his latest project, “Singularity,” scheduled for release May 4 via fabled music label, Domino Records.
