To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Jon Hopkins’ seminal fourth
album, Immunity, a newly remastered version of the record is now
available.
A confident, dramatic record defined by an acute sense of physicality
and place, Immunity felt and still feels, like the accompaniment to a
journey of creativity, a trip inside Hopkins’ mind. It brought together
everything he had learnt and experienced already but also paved the way
for the evolution of his future records, most recently, 2021’s Music For
Psychedelic Therapy.
Immunity was a turning point in Hopkins’ career. On its release in 2013,
Immunity announced itself as a powerful, multi-faceted beast, packed
with the most aggressively dancefloor-focussed music Hopkins had ever
made. However, Immunity was never just about the techno behemoths - of
which there were several. Hopkins wanted the album to help people to
reach different states of mind. From graceful and mournful piano notes,
stirring choral drones, he was always seeking new melodic routes to aid
this and his desire to use physical, real-world sounds as the basis for
many of the album’s rhythms allowed him to craft one of the most human
electronic albums.
