London-based artist I. JORDAN is an unstoppable force of high-energy, high-emotion music, who since deciding to release their own original music in 2019 after a decade of holding down DJ residencies and promoting DIY parties has taken the world by storm. Over the past four years the Doncaster born artist’s ever-evolving and expertly produced releases paired with formidable DJ sets around the world has placed them firmly at the forefront of dance music.

It comes as no surprise that 2022 was a massive year for I. JORDAN. Following the release of a collaborative single with hit-maker Fred again.. in February, a nomination for Best Producer at the annual NME Awards, and three North American tours this year alone, they show no sign of slowing down. On top of a jam-packed tour schedule spanning from Marseille to Mexico City; from Primavera to Glastonbury they’ve released a series of three highly emotive and lovingly paired double-singles, all of which reflect a deeply personal twelve-month journey for Jordan and a continued understanding of their ever-changing self. “Always Been” saw the artist announce their official name change and step into I. JORDAN, marking a true celebration of who they are in the moment. The club-ready “Hey Baby” and contrastingly downtempo “I Had the Best of Times” further demonstrated their vast talents as a prominent DJ and producer.

Throughout 2021 they appeared on the front cover of both DJ Mag and NME, signed to Ninja Tune for the release of ‘Watch Out!’, and stole the show at many high profile festivals, as well as a four-show residency for Manchester’s Warehouse Project and a pair of ticketed London headline shows. On top of that, they won Mini-Mix of the Year at the BBC Radio 1 Dance Awards, delivered their first Essential Mix and hosted their own four-show BBC Radio 1 residency, which saw them focus on their own musical journey but also shine the spotlight on their community, with one show 100% focused on
non-binary and trans artists. Prior to this, their 2019 EP ‘For You’ released on Local Action was unanimously praised as one of the best releases of the year. The EP, inspired by growing up queer in the North of England, saw them cap off a flagship year winning ‘Best Breakthrough Producer’ at the DJ Mag Best of British Awards, and ‘Breakout Star of the Year’ on Pete Tong’s iconic BBC Radio 1 show.
