“Stereo” by Jax Jones ft. Emei captures Y2K dancefloor nostalgia and cultural resonance in one hit.
In his latest musical offering, Jax Jones revisits the euphoric energy of early 2000s club music with the vibrant new single “Stereo,” this time joining forces with rising alt-pop vocalist Emei. Released via Astralwerks, the track dives deep into the Y2J! theme — an era that fuses nostalgia with personal discovery.
Jax’s rich production lays the groundwork for Emei’s soaring vocals in a piece driven by pulsing basslines and Euro club motifs. The chemistry is evident and intentional, as Emei shares: “I’ve always been such a fan of Jax! So, when I heard Stereo for the first time I was so excited to be a part of such a banger of a song…”
The track’s debut was anything but standard. The pair performed it live for the first time from The Shard in London, breaking the world record for the Highest Single Release — a spectacle perfectly aligned with the bold, sky-reaching sound of the single.
Jax Jones’ Y2J! movement isn’t just about sound — it’s a sonic autobiography. Raised by a Nigerian stepfather and with roots in Malaysian-Chinese culture, Jax draws from family, memory, and cultural duality to build a world that feels inclusive and electric.
