Jon Hopkins celebrates 10 years of Immunity with remastered version
The album was nominated for a Mercury Prize in 2013.
To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of his fourth studio album Immunity, Jon Hopkins has shared a remastered digital version. The physical release will be available on October 6.
Hopkins had previously been known as an enigma to fans while working with the likes of Brian Eno and Coldplay as well as being nominated for awards for his work scoring films. Immunity is regarded by many as his seminal album, making him not only an elusive electronic music producer, but one with a dance-floor pedigree as well.
“Immunity was written between late 2010 and early 2012,” he explains in a press statement accompanying the new reissue. “I poured everything into it, taking so much care over every element. This record changed my life. I went from playing 500-cap venues to 5000-cap in less than a year. The whole thing was a whirlwind and has since given me the freedom to follow any creative route that comes to me. Making and releasing it was a very special experience.”
Hopkins also describes his hesitation with remastering the record, not wanting to “mess with it.” He eventually ended up adding more “breathing space” while keeping the “grit and intensity it always had.” Listen to it the newly reissued LP below.
