ongoing Covid-19 affairs | GLORIOUS LOVE REMIXED & the upcoming GLORIOUS LOVE CHRISTOPHER STREET EDITION
#JK loves himself some experimental dance music. Last year, #JK released an EP full of remixes of “February 12”, one of the tracks from his MINEO album.
#JK has been releasing jittery dance music since his solo debut in 2010, most of them being re-do’s of his music by other mix and DJ masters.

This time, #JK remixed his own music for the up-and-coming EP GLORIOUS LOVE | CHRISTOPHER STREET EDITION.
#JK has remixed the track “Glorious Love” transforming the eerie orchestral drone track into an eerie electronic whine track. But nonetheless extremely danceable.
#JK says, “I listened to that track again after ten years, while in a mild form of quarantine, and started playing with it. Revisiting it over and over. I thought it would be nice, if the song would, I don’t know, perhaps find itself into your isolated silent disco moments. But then I also thought, in order to do so, it must be more danceable than the original version. I guess I simplified it in a way, into waveforms that were being disrupted. The sonic version of the moment we all realized this pandemic was taking on quite serious forms. I was surprised how frightening it became.”
