JAX JONES SHARES NEW SINGLE “STEREO” FEATURING EMEI
Jax Jones (real name Timucin “Timz” Lam) continues to evolve his Y2J! era returning with new single “Stereo” featuring Emei out today via Astralwerks. The pop anthem follows singles “Bad Boys” featuring Rebecca Black and sooyeon and “Back In My Bed” featuring MEYY as well as Ado collaboration, “Stay Gold” for the latest Beyblade X series. Listen to “Stereo” HERE.
Global dance phenomenon Jax Jones and American alt-pop sensation of Chinese heritage Emei make a force duo on “Stereo.” Emei offers up her commanding vocals to Jax’s thumping production, delivering a heavy-hitting new track immersed in Euro club nostalgia.
“I’ve always been such a fan of Jax! So, when I heard Stereo for the first time I was so excited to be a part of such a banger of a song. The track feels nostalgic and timeless and I’ve been jamming out to this one for months now and I can’t wait to finally show everyone what we made together.” – Emei
“Stereo” continues to see Jax Jones celebrate maximalist subculture and expand on his collaborative spirit. To celebrate, he did an exclusive set and live performance of the track for the very first time with Emei from London’s most iconic landmark, the View from The Shard (TVFTS) last night where they broke the world record for Highest Single Release.
Reflecting his expanded worldview through curiosity, exploration, and personal growth since relocating to Bangkok and connecting with his own Asian identity more, Jax Jones enters a new chapter of collaborations and bold ideas. The Y2J! era is Jax’s turn-of-the-millennium-inspired journey into vibrant sonic landscapes that are both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Y2J! fuses the euphoric energy of early 2000s clubland with the intensity of Southeast Asia’s booming underground electronic music scene. Drawing inspiration from the high-energy pulse of Dance Dance Revolution, Y2J! bridges global sounds, blending festival anthems with basement rave energy while paying homage to his East-meets-West upbringing.
At its heart, the Y2J! era is deeply tied to Jax’s heritage and story. Growing up, he was influenced by the R&B, hip-hop, and dancehall played by his Nigerian stepfather and the summers spent in Penang with his Malaysian-Chinese family, where he bonded with his gong gong (grandfather) over local food and spent hours creating music. These experiences instilled a love for multi-genre music-making rooted in his identity. Through Y2J!, Jax honors this legacy while carving out new pathways for cross-cultural exchange.
Y2J! sparks an exciting turn for Jax Jones which sees him breaking the rules, having fun and championing the power of collaboration to create something truly fresh with “Bad Boys” being remixed by one of Berlin’s biggest players in the electronic scene MCR-T and budots pioneer DJ Love. From London to Penang to Bangkok, music for the main stages and for underground raves, Y2J! is a testament to an artist embracing his global influences and lived experiences to push his music - and himself - further than ever before.
