Today, Jon Hopkins reveals a transcendent new collaboration with Brazilian techno producer ANNA. Evolving over a month-long trans-Atlantic collaborative process, “Deep In The Glowing Heart (Night Version)”, feels like an explosive release of energy, inspired by Hopkins’ return to regular DJing this year. With early versions of this track being premiered to huge crowds by both artists at their DJ sets across the world – including ANNA at Coachella, and Hopkins at Fabric – the Night Version is now available to hear widely for the first time.
The original version of “Deep In The Glowing Heart” is found on Jon Hopkins’ latest studio album Music For Psychedelic Therapy, released in November last year. Talking about the song, Hopkins said there is a feeling that “music can cleanse you, music can guide you through”. The Night Version takes you on a very different journey.
Hopkins says of the collaboration: “I first came across ANNA’s music through her track Hidden Beauties, which I found myself playing in DJ sets all the time and always goes down so well. I then asked her to remix Singularity and the results were so amazing I was super keen to work with her again but in a more collaborative way, rather than just handing over stems. We went back and forth a lot and it flowed really well. I love how this one turned out, it’s such a meeting of our two styles.”
ANNA adds: “It is a big honor to be able to create music together with Jon. His music is part of my daily life, part of my meditations, my long walks and contemplative moments. My remix for his track ‘Singularity’ had a huge impact on my career and getting to know Jon better since then, and collaborate on this version of DITGH, it feels like our relationship has come full circle!”
Music For Psychedelic Therapy was Hopkins’ first full-length since sister albums, the GRAMMY-nominated Singularity (2018) and Immunity (2013), it was a departure in sound from these records; “an album with no beats, not one drum sound, something that is closer to a classical symphony than a dance / electronica record.”
Alongside festival appearances this summer, Jon Hopkins is pleased to present several special playback events where there will be an immersive playback of Music For Psychedelic Therapy in full. Having run several of these gatherings previously in London, Austin and Los Angeles, upcoming dates include Wilderness Festival and Ireland’s Body & Soul Festival.
Jon Hopkins has recently composed the score in 360 spatial sound for Unboxed Festival’s Dreammachine. Similarly positioned to Hopkins most recent album, Dreammachine is a multi-sensory experience based on Brion Gysin’s original flicker device and aims to unlock the mind through lights and music.
Powerhouse Peterborough promoters Mixology announce Darius Syrossian, East End Dubs, ALISHA and more for their third UNDER event at Nene Parkway Flyover in August
For the past decade, Mixology has built an electronic music promotion that is one of the most revered in the East of England. Each event attracts world-class DJs whilst also showcasing the best local talent Peterborough has to offer, having run over 100 events in all including the legendary Mixology Warehouse event at Peterborough Arena, which Peterboroughians still count as one of the best events ever hosted in the city. Artists such as MAUR, ALISHA, C.O.Z, Micah Baxter, Volaris, ADR and Roobinz have all played their first gigs at Mixology and have since gone on to be recognised nationally and internationally.
UNDER is situated in idyllic, unique surroundings that juxtapose the concrete, industrial wasteland and the beautiful, scenic landscapes in the distance of the River Nene and Nene Park itself, with the DJs playing out beneath the Nene Parkway Flyover. Following the phenomenal success of the first two events, with huge sell out shows featuring Skream and Solardo, Mixology continues their UNDER concept into the summer with some exciting announcements still to come.
Says the team; “In our 10th year we aim to curate arguably the best Mixology events since our inception. We hope you’ll join us for UNDER on Saturday 13th August and what is set to be another sensational event in the heart of Peterborough!”
Headlining the next UNDER event is none other than the phenomenon that is Darius Syrossian, making his fourth appearance at Mixology. Driven by an insatiable passion for music over 20 years, Darius has dedicated his life to sharing the best house and techno records from his unparalleled library of tracks, as he continues to pack dancefloors all over the world. Expect to hear some upcoming, unreleased Moxy Muzik material as well as gems from Darius’ extensive archive.
East End Dubs meanwhile is one of the most talented and revered selectors in the UK today. A DJ’s DJ whose passion and talent over the past 15 years have had floors locked into his stripped back but characterful grooves from the dubbed out genres of house, garage and tech. He is imbued with the same urban grit, late night menace and subtle sense of mischief as the East London streets from which he takes his name and his self titled label ‘East End Dubs’ has become a much talked about outlet that has found its way into the bags of serious selectors like Raresh and Riccardo Villalobos.
Just over 7 years ago, ALISHA played her very first gig at Mixology. Fast-forward to today and ALISHA’s DJ career has been ascending at a stratospheric rate with a residency at WHP, a regular on the BPM bills, Paradise, Elrow, Glastonbury and Parklife. Having racked up over 1m streams across all digital streaming platforms to date and a string of releases on the likes of Kaluki, Libero, Nothing Else Matters, Relief and WYLD, expect a set delivering high-octane energy with a sound that underpins deep rumbling low-end basslines, driving grooves and stripped-back percussion.
Also on the line-up will be Mixology residents James Chan & Dan Clare (MAUR), Spalding’s own Lee Haslam, House Proud’s Russell James and Toby Graham & Louis Jones. Sign-up to the mailing list now to get notified for future events, priority tickets special offers at www.under.events

Cocoon label head and global techno influencer Sven Väth’s is to play two exclusive dates at Ibiza’s all new Club Chinois. The world renowned DJ will play longer sets under the banner of Catharsis on 21st June and 27th September.
Arriving in February this year, Catharsis was German pioneer Sven Väth’s first solo album in almost 20 years. It is a record inspired by Sven’s interest in the physical and spiritual processes that take place when we dance and it shows he is still right at the sharp end of the techno scene. The stylistically diverse record captures all the essence of Väth’s many different sounds over the years from minimal to techno, electro to ambient.
It came on his vital Cocoon label which is also the name of his world famous parties in Ibiza. They introduced the island to techno more than 20 years ago and have always been its beating heart ever since. Sven is of course at the centre of it all as a DJ who can play for hours on end and always keep the crowd enthralled. His deep knowledge and mastery of musical storytelling across all forms of techno is second to none. For that reason, he is sure to make these two dates hugely special as he goes from big and euphoric sounds to stomping grooves, tough techno to more lush and melodic sounds. No trip to Ibiza is complete without seeing this master at work.
This year, he plays in a more intimate space than usual for the White Isle as the all new Club Chinois – which has taken over and fully redesigned what was HEART Ibiza – allows dancers to get up and close and personal. The space is bathed in lush gold tones, with cutting edge light and sound and stylish design to offer an all new kind of experience.
These special dates will see Sven play a couple of longer than normal and unmissable sets.
