Jon Hopkins is a London-based electronic composer, producer and remixer. After two solo albums for London label Just Music, he collaborated with Brian Eno on 2005's Another Day On Earth. It was through Eno that he was introduced to Coldplay in 2007. This led to a production credit on Viva La Vida, opening slots for the band on tour, and the inclusion of his track Light Through The Veins as both intro and outro for the album.
The following year saw the release of Jon's third solo album, and his first for Domino Records, Insides. The album reached no. 2 in the electronic charts on US iTunes and allowed Jon to tour with such acts as The xx, Royksopp and Four Tet. Jon then worked with Eno again on The Lovely Bones soundtrack, a project which led to his first solo film score - 2010 cult hit Monsters. A haunting sci-fi road trip by first-time director Gareth Edwards, Hopkins' electro-acoustic score was built around string performances from legendary arranger Davide Rossi.
Hopkins and Eno then joined forces with guitarist Leo Abrahams, for Eno's Warp Records debut, Small Craft On A Milk Sea, an album of fifteen dark and dreamlike instrumentals born out of a two-week period of improvisation. Released in November 2010, the album has already been hailed as one of Eno's finest collaborations. Jon's album, Diamond Mine, a collaboration with singer King Creosote, was nominated for the Mercury Prize in 2011 and has led to sell-out tours around the UK and US. He was working on his fourth solo album.
