Jacques Greene is an acclaimed Canadian DJ and electronic music producer known for his dance tracks, which often incorporate R&B and U.K. garage influences. Through several well-received singles on labels like Night Slugs and LuckyMe, particularly 2011's "Another Girl," Greene (along with artists like Disclosure and Kingdom) was instrumental in updating house for a post-millennial audience, merging the U.K.-born post-dubstep/future bass sound with contemporary R&B influences. Later in the decade, he released ambitious, eclectic full-lengths such as 2019's Dawn Chorus. He rounded up highlights from his early career with 2021's ANTH01, and issued the EP Fantasy in 2022. Born Philippe Aubin-Dionne, the Montreal-based producer began releasing tracks in 2010, producing a few tracks under the name Hovatron before settling on the Jacques Greene moniker. Night Slugs released his single "(Baby I Don't Know) What You Want" in late 2010 and included the track on the scene-defining Night Slugs Allstars, Vol. 1 compilation. The buzz around Greene continued to grow as he released The Look and Another Girl on LuckyMe; the latter EP's charming, Ciara-sampling title track became one of the biggest indie dance hits of 2011. Greene soon remixed songs by artists including Radiohead, Katy B, and Jimmy Edgar, appeared in Azealia Banks' "212" video, and continued his streak of successful singles. The 2012 EP Concealer was his first release on Vase, the label Greene co-founded with manager Joe Coghill. In 2013, Greene collaborated with How to Dress Well ("On Your Side") and a then-unsigned Tinashe ("Painted Faces"). The EPs Phantom Vibrate and After Life After Party appeared on LuckyMe in 2014, with the single "You Can't Deny" arriving two years later. Greene's long-awaited full-length debut, Feel Infinite, appeared in 2017. Two vinyl EPs, Fever and Focus, were released in 2018 and combined digitally as Fever Focus. Greene's second album, Dawn Chorus, was issued in 2019, with guests including Cadence Weapon, Julianna Barwick, and Oliver Coates. He continued issuing additional tracks such as 2020's "Thaw" and 2021's "Promise," and the compilation ANTH01 gathered some of his best-known tracks along with two previously unreleased selections. The atmospheric EP Fantasy appeared in 2022. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
