Montreal producer Jacques Greene returns with his latest single, “Closer,” a collaborative effort with Melbourne-raised, London-based DJ and producer DJ BORING. Out now via LUCKYME®, the track continues Greene’s 2026 run of club-focused releases, following his recent collaboration with labelmate umru on “What You Say.”
Built for late-night dancefloors, “Closer” captures the chemistry between two artists known for balancing emotional depth with infectious club energy. Launching almost immediately into a soaring buildup, the track wastes no time establishing its momentum, delivering shimmering melodies, driving rhythms, and an uplifting atmosphere that reflects both producers’ distinctive approaches to electronic music.
For Jacques Greene, the collaboration was as much about friendship as it was about music. Speaking about working with DJ BORING, he highlighted the positive energy that inspired both the creative process and the finished record.
“Tristan [DJ BORING] is one of those people I feel so delighted to spot on a lineup of an event I’ll be at. The guy just radiates good energy. We made this tune at his studio in London a couple years ago. No time to waste, we start essentially halfway through a buildup. It feels like hanging out with the man himself, consistently fun, engaging, and a bit silly. Where there’s a will there’s a way, and if you need cheering up, find yourself an Australian like BORING. And keep him close.”
For more than 15 years, Jacques Greene has remained one of electronic music’s most emotionally expressive producers. Since breaking through with the acclaimed single “Another Girl,” he has consistently blended melodic house, UK garage influences, and atmospheric club production into a sound that brings genuine vulnerability to the dancefloor.
That artistic vision has evolved across a series of celebrated releases, including his full-length albums Feel Infinite (2017) and Dawn Chorus (2019). More recently, his 2025 collaborative project Verses GT with fellow LUCKYME® artist Nosaj Thing explored hazy, introspective club music, layering fragmented percussion and atmospheric textures into deeply immersive compositions that reflected what Greene described as “betting on headspace.”
Beyond his solo work, Greene has established himself as a versatile collaborator and producer across electronic and alternative music. His résumé includes the collaboration “Fold” with Bonobo, remixes for Radiohead, production work with Jessy Lanza and Tinashe, and touring alongside The xx, all while maintaining a distinctive artistic identity rooted in emotional storytelling through dance music.
With “Closer,” Jacques Greene and DJ BORING deliver a record that feels both effortless and uplifting. Balancing playful energy with polished production, the collaboration reflects the genuine friendship between the two artists while offering another compelling glimpse into Greene’s renewed focus on the dancefloor. As he continues to expand his 2026 catalog, “Closer” reinforces his reputation as one of electronic music’s most consistently inventive and emotionally resonant producers.
