The track that became known as “ray gun ID” and “that one ID from remote transmissions” finally sees its full release. As summer’s end approaches, G Jones now releases “Operator,” which also doubles as the lead single to his incoming EP, which is said to be titled Illusory Tracks. The fan-favorite ID turned surprise drop also announces the short player, which doesn’t yet a release date attached.

A highlight of his 2022 genre-bending AV set performances, “Operator” is the most highly requested single from G Jones since “In Your Head,” which landed on his debut album back in 2018.

“Operator has been one of my favorite songs to play in my sets over the past few years and I’m so happy it’s finally getting a proper release.”
– G Jones

“Operator” harnesses the throwback energy of acid and breakbeat hardcore. G Jones recontextualizes some of these timeless sounds through the lens of his own creative intuition in a three-minute number that surprises at every turn. From its rave-lore sonic elements to its repetitive ray gun samples and a beautiful melodic breakdown around mid-track, this is an instant classic from the signature G Jones sound.

Having recently wrapped up his sold-out IllusoryOS tour (his biggest to date) and now on the tail end of an absolutely massive festival season highlighted by plays at EDC Vegas, Lightning in a Bottle, Bonnaroo, Bass Canyon, Electric Zoo, Lost Lands, and Porter Robinson’s Second Sky (debuting G Jones b2b Virtual Self), G Jones has cemented himself as a juggernaut in the experimental electronic and bass music lanes.
