Jon Hopkins is criminally underrated. My god what a genius.

[pipapolleke]

this isn't music anymore...this is an higher state of being

[smellyoldsock]

With an endless array of music on Youtube to fulfill my demanding musical addcition I continually find myself back at Jon Hopkins, especially this set.

[lesmartels]

One of my favorite jogging songs. Once it starts pounding in my ears, I enter another world, I isolate myself and GO further and further, with an ease that wasn't there a few minutes before. THAT song gives energy. Open Eye Signal and Everything Connected have that same effect on me.

This is literally eargasmic, hypnotic experience when you listen to this with Sennheiser headphones. Feels like floating in a different universe holy shit.

[AryaPhoenix]

I can't get over how fucking amazing this piece of music is. As someone said, it totally feels like floating in another universe. Like, how do you even come up with something like this? Jon Hopkins is a genius.

When you're a kid, you understand nothing, so everything feels like magic. As you age, you begin to understand things better, and the magic wears away.

I do not understand how someone can make this track live lol. Thanks for making me feel like a kid again.

I remember when the vinyl Immunity was released. Never heard the songs, got it as a blind buy. It's spinning and this song came on. Blew me away. Outstanding. What a moment. The whole album is just wonderful but this track alone is incredible and will be impossible to top.

[biancaturner]

amazing to see how he builds the song up from kudos

[nesovicmarko]

I can actually see Jon as a Hindu god with 8 arms and 8 kaos pads

[SonyaStichbury]

Unbelievably good, chills every single time.

[paulfenton]

Beautiful. I personally have no idea what precisely Mr. Hopkins is up to in this video; how much is live performance and how much is simply editing is perhaps up for debate, but for me, that's irrelevant. What matters is that he has composed an utterly sublime piece of music which he is reproducing/interpreting here for us all to enjoy immensely. Lovely stuff.

[pdfoerth]

since it's covid and we can't get a concert, i think it's time mr. hopkins does another KEXP set :D

[maurover]

not even just music, or maybe music at its highest, I feel like my body is making love with my soul in a way which is not even just love, or maybe it is love at its highest. And no drugs involved!!!

[batuhangurses]

words just aren't good enought to describe this song.... that's incredible

[mattpavlic]

How he's able to do this live blows my mind

[chrisconnor]

this is like something out of a cyberpunk novel. incredible

[kansaspottery]

better than the standard studio version, takes its own sweet time unfolding...very powerful. Reminds me of out of body experience during sex

[sdschroeder]

Holy shit 3 Kaoss Pads that's insanely dope

[brianwatson]

I love the adds, it helps with the immersion.
