I. JORDAN AKA: Jordan Tek shares new single “Round N Round,” the track is off the artist’s forthcoming debut album I Am Jordan. “Round n Round” follows singles “Close To You” and lead single “Real Hot n Naughty”. This summer Jordan brings their DJ sets out on tour with stops at multiple festivals including Boomtown Festival, Pukklepop Festival and Field Day where they’ll present their debut live performance on the mainstage ahead of Shygirl.

On I AM JORDAN the UK artist celebrates a mode of self-discovery. “This album is about joy”, Jordan says. “It’s about my joy as a trans person, and trans joy generally, working with trans people, making all this fun music together.” With this goal, the record captures the bliss and dynamism of a wild I. JORDAN set. Using their decade of experience as a DJ and producer, there are giddy tributes to northern dance sounds like donk and hardstyle, euphoric trance and house, and plenty of space for exploration. Crucially, the record acts as a personal dance music diary, marking a period of upheaval. The album follows collaborative work with Fred again.., Planningtorock and SHERELLE, remix work for Fever Ray, Romy and Eliza Roze, and a handful of EPs.

Despite being self-titled, I AM JORDAN is a product of its community, as Jordan explains. “Everyone is interconnected, and the idea of being an individual is a bit of a myth…I wouldn’t be who I am without everyone else around me. My friends, especially friends who have supported me through all the transition stuff, my trans friends that I’ve relied on, Reddit group chats – it’s all so important. In the trans community, none of us do this on our own.”
