An epic new single from Jon Hopkins tops my playlist this week. It's available from Domino Records and currently for sale on iTunes, but for the true music lovers out there, it will also be put out on vinyl in June. A fan of Hopkins’ work, and known for her beautifully emotive, atmospheric vocals, it seemed right for rising star, Lulu James, to contribute vocals to We Disappear. The pair met when performing at Unknown Festival in Croatia, then soon after put down vocals at Hopkins' London studio. He then built a new version of the track – dark, moody, and absolutely awesome.
