Song of the Week – 10.23.16 – Jacques Greene – “Afterglow” on @LuckyMe @jacquesgreene
by
Released digitally with vinyl featuring exclusive extended DJ versions of ‘Afterglow’ and summer
single and fan favorite ‘You Can’t Deny’ on LuckyMe
In August, Jacques Greene released the surprise single ‘You Can’t Deny’ to acclaim and adulation – the
first drop of new music that’s been two-and-a-half years in the making. It is a beautifully undeniable,
soulful techno record. That was followed by ‘White Ferrari’ (JG edit), a blistering track both in-line with his
past edits and RnB influence that reworked the Frank Ocean original from the ground-up, given away to
fans after being a staple in JG’s summer DJ sets.
Now the young, enigmatic producer returns with ’Afterglow’, a classic Jacques Greene club record, its
repeating mantra diving deeper into the night with euphoric, rather than hedonistic feelings for these
strange times. ‘Afterglow’ showcases Jacque Greene’s more meditative and heady side, complimenting
the brightness of ‘You Can’t Deny’.
The stunning ’Afterglow’ 12” vinyl is designed by Hassan Rahim (the American visual artist, art director
and recent winner of ADC Young Guns) and features exclusive vinyl-only extended DJ versions of
‘Afterglow’ and ‘You Can’t Deny’.
Jacques Greene returns to his home city of Montreal for the Turbo Crunk reunion (Oct 15) as a guest
lecturer (Oct 21) at Red Bull Music Academy and with an anticipated, RBMA headline show, previewing a
brand new AV performance in collaboration with Montreal’s Melissa Matos of Trusst (Oct 22) plus US
dates with Bob Moses (Oct 26, 27, 28).
Jacques Greene will be touring Fall / Winter 2016.
