Video: Jon Hopkins live at Skif Festival 2010

Have stayed up way too late watching this on occasion. No idea what sort of equipment he is using but he is going to town on it like a man possessed. Possessed by fucking awesomeness. In between slugs of beer. What a legend. And a dreamboat to boot. How can he make songs so hauntingly beautiful yet so fucking banging at the same time?! Too bad you can't hear the crowd, I'd say they were going flip mode. Now,  be warned, the sound cuts out for a second around 6'30" but stick with it, it's only for a moment and then it really gets going.

Jon Hopkins Mix - Swoon alert

Jon Hopkins, musical dreamboat. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I want Jon Hopkins and Four Tet to get married and have perfect music babies that I can babysit - with my ears. 

The M83 tune on this is amazing -'Run Into Flowers' (Midnight Fuck Remix By Jackson) as well as the Four Tet remix of Nathan Fake's 'You Are Here'. Which is so good I'm going to have to listen to it again:
