Biography
Jacques Greene stands out as a Canadian electronic music producer and DJ whose work blends dancefloor energy with R&B and U.K. garage textures. Early singles issued on Night Slugs and LuckyMe, most notably the 2011 release “Another Girl,” positioned him alongside Disclosure and Kingdom as a key figure reshaping house music for listeners after the millennium by fusing post-dubstep and future-bass elements with current R&B sensibilities. He later explored broader palettes on the expansive 2019 album Dawn Chorus, assembled highlights from his initial output on the 2021 collection ANTH01, and delivered the EP Fantasy in 2022.
Born Philippe Aubin-Dionne, the Montreal artist first issued material in 2010, initially recording a handful of tracks as Hovatron before adopting the Jacques Greene name. Night Slugs put out the single “(Baby I Don’t Know) What You Want” at the close of that year and featured it on the compilation Night Slugs Allstars, Vol. 1. Momentum built further when LuckyMe released The Look and Another Girl, the latter’s title track—an engaging number built around a Ciara sample—emerging as one of 2011’s prominent indie-dance successes. Greene soon supplied remixes for Radiohead, Katy B, and Jimmy Edgar, appeared in Azealia Banks’ “212” video, and maintained a run of well-received singles. His 2012 EP Concealer marked the first release on Vase, the label he established with manager Joe Coghill. In 2013 he joined How to Dress Well for “On Your Side” and an unsigned Tinashe for “Painted Faces.” LuckyMe followed with the 2014 EPs Phantom Vibrate and After Life After Party, while the single “You Can’t Deny” surfaced in 2016.
His debut full-length, Feel Infinite, arrived in 2017. The subsequent year brought the vinyl EPs Fever and Focus, later issued together in digital form as Fever Focus. Dawn Chorus, Greene’s second album, appeared in 2019 and included contributions from Cadence Weapon, Julianna Barwick, and Oliver Coates. Additional tracks followed, among them 2020’s “Thaw” and 2021’s “Promise,” while ANTH01 gathered key earlier cuts alongside two previously unreleased pieces. The atmospheric EP Fantasy closed the sequence in 2022.
