Here’s a real “two great tastes that taste great together” that is as good of a finished product as it seems on paper, with electronic artists Jon Hopkins and Kelly Lee Owens teaming up for this terrific new track. Kelly explains how it came about: “‘Luminous Spaces’ initially began as a remix I did for Jon, which I also wrote vocals on top of. I sent the whole track to Jon for feedback and this lead to the start of a more collaborative effort, with him adding extra sound design/ production, and a new intro and outro, which I loved! The exchanging of ideas back and forth made it an extra special process for us and is why he decided to upgrade it to a full and proper collaboration. Our worlds truly colliding!”
Let’s get a whole album of this, ok? Listen below.
Kelly Lee Owens released a new 12″ earlier this year and will play London’s All Points East festival in the spring; Jon Hopkins released the Grammy-nominated Singularity last year and will tour the UK and Europe in 2020. His dates are listed below.
