Anjunadeep is all set to welcome one of the U.K’s finest DJ/Producer Jon Gurd to their family with his ten-track LP ‘Lion’. ‘Lion’ is a deeply personal album born out of a tumultuous period that has shaped Jon’s life.

 

His burgeoning DJ career was put on hold in 2010 when Jon went through two life-changing experiences – the suicide of his older brother, and his young son’s diagnosis of severe epilepsy. After a hiatus, Jon’s music became faster and darker, described by Resident Advisor as “jet-black techno” Following another break from music, Jon released an EP on Sasha’s Last Night On Earth imprint, which he cites as a transformative milestone, which led him to create ‘Lion’.

Opening single ‘Together’ blends melodies with surging live percussion – a prime example of Jon’s other-worldly sound. Dedicated to his older brother, ‘Lion’ is the culmination of Jon’s experiences as a brother and father; his encounters with loss, and his subsequent progression as an artist and human being.

Jon Gurd’s ten-track ‘Lion’ LP is scheduled to release on August 14.
