JON HOPKINS BBC 6 MUSIC INTERVIEW

Electronic producer Jon Hopkins has announced he will release We Disappear, a track off his latest record, featuring a vocal from Lulu James - on June 30th.

South Shields-based singer Lulu James is a rising talent, with style, flair and a killer voice to boot.  You might remember her singles Closer and Sweetest Thing, which have had radio play on 6 Music.

Since the release of Immunity, which earned Hopkins his second Mercury nomination, he has been travelling around the globe playing some of his biggest shows to date.

This included a sold-out performance at The Forum in London.  Meanwhile he also produced the track Midnight for Coldplay, which is set to feature on their upcoming album Ghost Stories this month.

He has also confirmed shows at The Great Escape, Field Day, Park Life and Beacons festival and will be taking his live show to Europe and the US this summer.

He dropped in to 6 Music HQ to have a chat about the new version of We Disappear and whether he has found time on the road to start work on an Immunity follow-up.

So how did he come across Lulu James… here he is…
