Melbourne producer JUJO steps into 2026 with 'Currents,' a five-track EP that distils years of emotional and musical evolution into his most focused statement yet. Out now via French imprint Sidekick Music, the release sees the ARIA Award–winning producer leaning fully into the space where dancefloor euphoria meets introspection, with closing track ‘iSLAND’ emerging as the project’s emotional anchor.
Best known for balancing glossy house nostalgia with a deeply personal edge, JUJO draws from the melodic uplift of 2010s festival dance music while filtering it through a more reflective, lived-in lens. Currents uses water as a recurring metaphor - for movement, vulnerability and emotional flow - but it’s ‘iSLAND’ that offers the EP’s final release of tension.
Created with Yung Shōgun after touring Asia together, ‘iSLAND’ ultimately took shape during a solo trip JUJO made to a Thai island, where the EP found its ending. Warm, groove-led and quietly soulful, the track blends house and R&B into something unforced and restorative. It’s a song about boundaries, clarity and choosing peace - less hands-in-the-air climax, more deep exhale.
Across 'Currents,' JUJO revisits older material (‘Currents’, ‘For U’) alongside newer moments of momentum, but ‘iSLAND’ feels like the point where everything settles. The emotional weight lifts, replaced by a sense of calm resolution, the sound of stepping away from the noise without losing the pulse.
'Currents' positions JUJO in a new phase of his career: still club-minded, still melodic, but more self-aware than ever.
