One of the greatest artists of all time finally joins one of the greatest mix series of all time. Sounds like a deal.
Considered by many the greatest Progressive House DJ of current times (and for some, all time), Guy J is ready for the next milestone in his unstoppable career. Unextinguishable like ignited magnesium metal, Guy, at the current all-time high he is, will mix the next edition of the legendary Global Underground mix series.
Landing on November 7th, the label will release #GU48 Guy J – Córdoba, the latest project from a key figure in Electronic music. This collection follows recent successful releases from artists like Danny Tenaglia, ANNA, and Joseph Capriati, and for sure carries on the legacy of some of the most iconic GU compilations in history: Sasha, Paul Oakenfold, John Digweed, Lee Burridge, Deep Dish, and many more.
The vast majority of the tracks on #GU48 Guy J – Córdoba are compositions, remixes, or edits that Guy J himself has created. The album is a collection of his own work, with a large amount of previously unreleased material. The album features two distinct mixes: a thrilling club mix and a graceful downtempo mix, showcasing the full range of Guy J’s talent. For the first time, a special Collector’s Edition will include an exclusive bonus 12-inch marbled vinyl featuring a single that will not be available anywhere else on vinyl.
Guy J expressed his excitement about the project, saying, “I’m incredibly happy to be a part of the Global Underground mix series and to join the DJs who were so influential to me and made such a historical impact on the global electronic music scene. These two mixes are a tribute to the music that shaped me. I hope these tracks become the soundtrack to wonderful memories in your life, as they are in mine. Thank you for everything. With a lot of love, Guy”.
Andy Horsfield of Global Underground added, “We are genuinely thrilled to have Guy J join our historic City series with his exceptional Córdoba album. This is an immediate, timeless classic that fans will enjoy for years to come.”
To provide a preview, a separate Guy J EP will be released on 17th October. This EP contains three new, unreleased tracks that are perfect for the dancefloor and will serve as a lead-up to the full album release. The complete tracklist for the album, which will feature many new tracks and remixes, will be announced in the coming weeks.
Where Guy Is Currently At
Guy is, arguably, living one of the best stages in his entire decades-long career. After retiring his trailblazing label Lost & Found halfway through 2023 after exactly 100 releases, last year he brought a new imprint to the light: Early Morning. Having released new music under his main alias, and also under the more melodic Cornucopia moniker, he’s truly mastered the art of lifting goodies from his endless ID Hilbert’s-Grand-Hotel-like archives (if you know you know).
And don’t get me started on Argentina. Having made Buenos Aires my spiritual home and hanging out with so many devoted Dance music fans, I can assure you Guy J is more than a king over there. People go crazy over his five-hour sets, and he, in turn, delivers killer curations for his favourite country in the whole world, all four decks playing simultaneously. One standout moment year-round was when he closed his Córdoba set in February with a remix of ‘Need To Feel Loved’, while each and every DJ who had performed that night at the We Are Lost festival was vibing behind the booth.
For the photoshoot for the upcoming Global Underground compilation, Guy J even caused traffic to stop as numerous fans approached him for photographs and signatures, showing just how much he’s loved in Córdoba and the entirety of Argentina.
