UK dance music innovator I. JORDAN returns with a serendipitous collection of love songs exploring connection in all its forms. Announcing their latest project Free Falling due Oct 17 via Ninjatune, with today’s new single ‘Without You’ featuring Indian-Australian vocalist ASHWARYA. LISTEN HERE + PRE-SAVE EP HERE.

“I’ve accidentally ended up with an EP full of love songs. And I’m not mad about it!” comments the Doncaster-born, London-based DJ and producer, reflecting on their new five-track collection Free Falling, their first solo release since 2024’s critically acclaimed debut album I AM JORDAN.

What started as an exercise in growth, Jordan pushing themselves to work with vocalists, became something far more profound: a meditation on love’s many faces. Romantic love, but also chosen family, the euphoria of the dancefloor, the quiet devotion of visiting your grandma, and perhaps most importantly, falling in love with the act of creation itself.

Across five tracks, connection pulses through every moment. Out today, lead single ‘Without You’, born at 4am after a Paris gig and refined across global sessions with rising star ASHWARYA, captures the garage-inspired euphoria of unexpected connection.

It’s followed by ‘An Angel’, Jordan’s love letter to the creative process itself. Title track ‘Free Falling’ floats on Ell Murphy’s silky-smooth R&B vocals, its delicate instrumental providing the perfect canvas for lyrics about falling in love again. There’s a fragility here that Jordan treasures, a willingness to be vulnerable that runs counter to dance music’s often impersonal nature.

‘Thinking About You’ slows things down into introspective garage territory, a track Jordan sat on for two years before realising it belonged in the romantic universe they’d created here. The EP closes with ‘East Coast Line’, perhaps its most personal moment, written on the train from King’s Cross to Doncaster, traveling to visit Jordan’s grandmother who is a special person in their life, despite family being a complex subject for them.

The EP follows Jordan’s debut album I AM JORDAN, which celebrated collective ecstasy as a mode of self-discovery and received praise from the likes of Bandcamp Daily, DJ Mag, RA Recommends, NME, Them. and Mixmag who made Jordan their cover star. Since then, Jordan’s remixed Pet Shop Boysand Confidence Man, featured in a BBC documentary about club culture, launched their live show and toured the world several times, from London to Manchester, Tokyo to Sydney. They also recently delivered a stand-out livestreamed closing set at London’s iconic UNFOLD, listen here, and performed to a massive crowd at this year’s Bodymovements festival.
