Today [7th May] Belfast-based DJ/producer Jordan Nocturne (FKA Jordan) returns with psychedelic disco dub ‘22BB’. A hedonistic cut that doesn’t take itself too seriously, ‘22BB’ is peppered with vocals that pay tribute to disco icon Donna Summer. Following his coveted Nocturne Edits releases selling in their thousands, plus a string of EP’s on revered labels including Phantasy and Huntleys & Palmers imprint Belters, the return to his own imprint marks the start of a new chapter for Jordan Nocturne, and the blossoming Nocturne platform. 

Speaking on the single Jordan Nocturne says,

“There’s a bit of an early Soulwax influence in this one - it's disco but with a choppy electronic edge. There has always been a big disco presence in my all-night residencies that I've not really highlighted in my own music. But more than that it’s just a fun club track - a reminder not to take everything so seriously. I went as far as getting the sample re-sung - so it’s all fully original.”

Having spent 2020’s lockdown rebranding Nocturne, the label is now a platform for rising and established artists, and a force for good. Teaming up with illustrator Andreea Ilisăi, the label has been raising money for Trussell Trust and Disasters Emergency Fund with two genre-defying From Belfast With Love compilations featuring a wealth of local talent, and through sell-out lines of gorgeous prints, totes and T-shirts. Recently releasing sublime and hypnotic releases from the likes of Brighton’s Tech Support and Philadelphia duo Zillas on Acid, the Nocturne sound has evolved along with Jordan’s.

DJing in clubs since he was just 13 years old, 15 years down the line the producer/DJ/promoter and label head is a seasoned professional; Jordan is both a key player in the Northern Irish and Irish club-spheres and an essential cog in East Belfast’s wider creative community, as well as a celebrated producer and DJ in the global dance music scene. After running his own after-hours party series turned label, Nocturne, and holding down a sell-out, weekly residency across the city under The Night Institute (with scene stalwart Timmy Stewart) for over 5 years, Jordan’s approach to DJing and raving is all about inclusivity and authenticity with egos left at the door.

Pre-pandemic Jordan could be found playing esteemed underground spots and coveted venues across the world from Wilde Renate and Paloma Bar in Berlin, New York’s Good Room, Culture Box in Copenhagen to La Cheetah in Glasgow and Circus, Tokyo to name but a few, and turning in mixes for tastemaker fans including Beats in Space, Truants, Ninja Tune’s Solid Steel, DJ Mag, BBC Radio 6 Music and more. With his life in music lending to an encyclopedic knowledge of music, and productions blending discerning ear for detail and the tacit knowledge that comes from over a decade on the dancefloor, Jordan Nocturne is a force to be reckoned with.

Stay tuned for more news and music soon. 
‘22BB’ is out now.

Jordan Nocturne - 22BB

Today [4th June 2021] Belfast-based DJ/producer Jordan Nocturne (FKA Jordan) shares euphoric single ‘Gemini Boy’ - a hedonistic club cut that conjures up hazy dancefloor memories. The follow up to
psychedelic disco dub ‘22BB’ supported by BBC Radio 1, BBC6 Music, and more, this is the second single from his highly anticipated forthcoming EP of the same name. 

Due for release 2nd July on his own imprint Nocturne, Gemini Boy, Jordan Nocturne follows up the demand for his cult-status edits, with
three tracks of original dancefloor cuts, plus a jungle leaning remix from Studio Barnhus' Kornel Kovacs nodding to his early days as a teenager in Stockholm’s drum & bass scene. Traversing electro, disco and synth-pop territories with ease is a testament to his status as one of Ireland's most exciting producers right now. The glorious EP marks the shape of things to come from Jordan Nocturne - genre-blending,
kaleidoscopic sounds informed by his life in music and a refreshed approach to his output; stemming from changes in his life, time spent in the studio with a piano and a range of new synths, and reflections
on those inimitable, magic dancefloor moments while the world was on hold.

Jordan Nocturne - Heat It Up (BLTRS015)

Percolate welcome good friend and dancer, Hammer to contribute to the second offering on our newly formed label with a pumping four-track belter, 'Marble Arch EP'.

Hammer opens the EP with '99er', embarking on a bubbling, spooky expedition into swampy pads and glistening hats encompassed by drapes of house-y hoots and driving lines.

Mind Bin veers into a sci-fi frenzy, seasoned with gleaming electro sparks and cavernous basslines.

On the flip, Marble Arch kicks off on a quicksand dune of shaking hats and punchy synth jabs, paving the way for the final cut. 

Jordan steps in with his midas touch, reworking ‘99er’. Delving deep into the groove with his signature sound, the chugging number nods to a melting pot of electronica and retro influences.

Jordan’s schedule these days includes stops in Berlin, New York, Japan & London. But his reputation has been built on over a decade of relentless work closer to home.

As resident & promoter at Belfast’s weekly The Night Institute, and before that a curator of the city’s not-quite-legal, late-night parties, Jordan has played many roles within his local scene alongside the countless hours behind the decks. It has afforded him a legitimacy that is becoming a rarity in the electronic music community, placing him at odds with the common thirst for overnight success stories.

Releases on Scottish stalwart Huntleys & Palmers sit comfortably alongside Jordan’s own label efforts, with his Nocturne imprint steadily solidifying its ‘staple’ status. The demand for his best-selling edits series resulted in multiple re-presses, while his music has enjoyed support from Midland, Gerd Janson, Erol Alkan & Kornel Kovacs to name a few.

Alongside Boiler Room performances and mixes for Ninja Tune Solid Steel, Beats in Space & Feel my Bicep, Jordan continues to maintain the strong DIY ethos that lies at the heart of his insatiable work ethic.
