Jon Hopkins is set for his own residency on BBC Radio 1. Jon will be paired with George Fitzgerald, along with a host of other new special guests which include Flying Lotus, Katranada, Skream, Hannah Wants, Heidi and Solomun.
Jon did a special one-off show for Radio 1 back in November and had this to say: ‘It feels amazing to join a line up that has included so many people whose music I admire. I put a lot of work into this, trying to showcase the tracks that have influenced my recent album and live shows, and trying to build a musical structure and journey over the two hours.”
You can catch the show on Thursday nights from 10pm to 1am on BBC Radio 1.
Check out Jon’s recent special performance of Breathe This Air for Guardian Sessions:
“Every day I wake up and smile,
Twenty four hours lie ahead of me.
I vow to live each moment fully
And look at all beings with compassionate eyes.”
“I see ambient music as a positive force in our world. It can’t change it but it might be strong enough to inspire people, to help them heal and to spread optimism.”
