Jon Gurd's 'Lion' is out now. --- DJ and producer Jon Gurd releases his ten-track LP ‘Lion’ today on Anjunadeep. The album release comes after four singles, which have seen support from the likes of electronic heavyweights such as Solomun, Stephen Bodzin, Alan Fitzpatrick, Adriatique, Gorgon City, and Shadow Child. A respected selector and producer, Jon came through the UK underground in the early 2000s as resident DJ at the legendary Slinky in Bournemouth, warming up for the likes of Mauro Picotto and Paul Van Dyk. His early productions were championed by Paul Woolford, Sasha, Lee Burridge, James Zabiela, and Sander Kleinenberg, and Jon soon found himself travelling the world performing alongside the artists he’d been opening for not long before. 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. “These two events completely changed my motives for making music, and made me wonder if I was to even carry on doing it at all”. After a hiatus, Jon’s music became faster and darker, described by Resident Advisor as “jet-black techno”. He collaborated with Alan Fitzpatrick and Reset Robot, and won support from the likes of Adam Beyer, Loco Dice, Scuba, Nicole Moudaber, and Pan-Pot. 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’. “I was extremely fragile, trying to piece my life back together after what you could probably describe as a complete nervous breakdown, not sure of my sound or what I was trying to achieve, but was just going with the feeling... Getting that EP signed kind of made me sit up and take notice. It felt as though a clear path was forming. This led me to make the album Lion, and when I look back on my career in many year’s time maybe releasing Lion on Anjunadeep will be the big milestone, let’s see. It certainly feels as exciting!” Written in late 2019, and inspired by themes of loss and rebirth, ‘Lion’ is a deeply personal album born out of a tumultuous period that has shaped Jon’s life. “It felt like a release of emotion when writing it. It’s about exploring the emotions that we go through as humans… the emotions that come and go, our place in the universe, being grateful for being here, spreading love and helping people get through tough times.” ----- In support of Jon's son, Jon and Anjunadeep are raising money for UK charity KIDS.

I want to make healthcare a place that people are excited about fixing, and step one of that process is just explaining to people what those problems are. I want to discover how to normalize meeting friends through the internet. Now my view is, “How can I find the right person to help me get through this obstacle?” I think simply spending time with people at your own career level that you think are high potential people and just staying near them and working with them on as many things as possible is the way to go. ​ I think a lot of people try to create a very manicured version of themself online, and then when you meet them offline, there’s this huge delta.

The worst thing is how intellectually isolated we all are, how few people there are with whom we can share the insights that we find the most exciting, even among other mathematicians. For me personally I feel very frustrated that there is this huge part of my emotional life that most of the people whom I care about have no access to. ​ In a decade’s time, I hope I’m working on projects that I can’t even imagine now and have found a way to be a part of larger mathematical and public conversations.

—with that eager, amateur’s love. Sometimes the ideas that mean the most to you will feel true long before you can quite formulate them or justify them. Or it might even be in actual school. In my classes, I ask the students to find a poem they like and to get it by heart. To see someone in their late teens or early twenties, often by gender or ethnicity different from the author, shaping his or her mouth around those sounds created by somebody who is perhaps long dead, or perhaps thousands of miles away, and the students bringing their own experience to it, changing it with their own sensibility, so that they’re both possessed and possessing—those moments have been very moving to me.
