India Jordan

British DJ and producer India Jordan makes lush, euphoric dance tracks, effortlessly switching between styles such as filter house, atmospheric drum'n'bass, and giddy U.K. garage. Releases such as the 2020 EP For You reflect Jordan's lifelong passion for club music, as well as their personal journey and self-discovery.
India Jordan grew up in the Northern English town of Doncaster. Attracted to fast, energetic dance music, they gravitated towards trance, happy hardcore, and drum'n'bass, but had a hard time connecting with the club scene at first. They moved to Hull for university and joined a DJ society, becoming president in their final year. Jordan relocated to London during the mid-2010s and became immersed in the city's queer clubbing scene. Along with DJs and producers like Deadboy and Yamaneko, Jordan was a major part of New Atlantis, a monthly social event and label focusing on ambient and new age music. Their first production, "See Four," appeared on the 2017 New Atlantis Volume 1 compilation. While Jordan continued making ambient music as a side venture, their career took off when DNT STOP MY LV, an EP of dance tracks combining all of their influences, was released by Local Action in May of 2019. This was soon followed by the singles "WARPER" and "H.U.R.L."/"F.U.R.L." (in collaboration with longtime friend and frequent DJ partner Finn). The self-dedicated For You, an eclectic, celebratory six-song EP informed by Jordan's self-care practices, was issued in 2020. ~ Paul Simpson
