Jacques Greene Returns to the Club: Third Studio Album ‘jg’ Announced
Electronic music visionary Jacques Greene is set to make a definitive return to his roots with the announcement of his third studio album, titled jg. Departing from the conceptual depth of his earlier work, this 11-track collection is engineered with a singular focus: the dancefloor.
A Shift Toward the Dancefloor
The Canadian producer has explicitly designed this project to resonate within club environments. Reflecting on the creative process, Greene noted that the record represents a departure from abstract thematic structures. Instead, he leaned into an intuitive approach, crafting music for the specific spaces he inhabits and the communities he connects with. This pivot toward high-energy, club-ready soundscapes marks a significant evolution in his discography.
The album, arriving via the esteemed LUCKYME label on October 16th, includes previously unveiled tracks such as the DJ Boring collaboration “Closer” and the umru-assisted “What You Say.” To celebrate the announcement, Greene has dropped a fresh single, “Presence,” which further cements the project’s rhythmic intensity.
Collaborative Depth and Discography
jg serves as the successor to his acclaimed solo LPs, 2017’s Feel Infinite and 2019’s Dawn Chorus. It also follows his recent 2025 creative partnership with Nosaj Thing under the moniker Verses GT. The new album boasts an expansive list of collaborators, highlighting Greene’s ability to bridge different corners of the electronic scene. Featured artists include:
- DJ Boring
- umru
- Ouri
- Jonah Yano
- SAM-E
- SEES0000
- CFCF
- crushed
- Sølv
As the electronic music industry continues to see a resurgence in club-focused production-with global dance music revenue projected to reach over $11 billion by 2027-Greene’s decision to prioritize the dancefloor aligns with a broader industry trend of returning to communal, high-fidelity listening experiences.
