Artist: Nicolas Jaar

Como habitual, fica por cá o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. A semana começou com sons quentes vindos dos antípodas para animar ainda mais o bom tempo europeu. Os Panama, banda ao estilo Cut Copy, abriu a semana com o tema "Magic", o primeiro single desta banda australiana. De seguida e modo maravilha apresentou-se o novo single de

As the weather gets hotter, so does the proverbial temperature of a given week's outpouring of fresh singles. With that said, now that we're not quite one month out from the summer solstice, this past sennight was of a pleasant prolificacy and quality, featuring appearances from DOOM, Rick Ross, Nicolas Jaar, Childish Gambino, YACHT, and more, plus the first posthumous number from Whitney Houston. As per always, we wish you well with the following 10-piece. -Mike Madden Staff Writer Childish Gambino Feat. Heems - "Tell Me" [...]

The only time I post about Essential Mixes are when they're truly special. Today, I am proud to say we've been given such a mix by New York's hottest producer of the moment, Nicolas Jaar ( download here ). Trust me when I say this mix is nothing short of breath-taking. Jaar takes the listener on a sublime aural journey by splicing cinema and music into a product that Pete Tong describes as "nothing short of stunning." The mix may not be EDM in many respects; the selection is [...]

Minimalist/electronic producer Nicolas Jaar has teamed with Stephen Spielberg's daughter Sasha to re-create Leonard Cohen's 1971 track "Avalanche." "Avalanche" is a part of Jaar's innovative $40 aluminum music cube Prism . You might recall this isn't his first foray into making music with celebrity daughters . Stream: Nicolas Jaar & Sasha Spielberg – Avalanche (Leonard Cohen Cover) |

Nicolas Jaar tiene un gusto muy particular por colaborar con hijos de famosos. Primero fue con Scout La Rue, la hija de Bruce Willis y Demo Moore, y ahora acaba de lanzar una canción en la que trabajó con la hija de Steven Spielberg, Sasha . Aún más curioso, la canción se llama " Avalanche " y es un cover de Leonard Cohen . A ver qué les parece.

After Nicolas Jaar collaborated with Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter Scout Larue on "With Just One Glance", I had no idea the young producer would continue to work with Hollywood's female offspring. Today, much to our surprise, he is now collaborating with Sasha Spielberg. You guessed it, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw's daughter. The track is called "Just Friends", a reimagining of Leonard Cohen's original work, "Avalanche". With a haunting, minimalist touch, this is the perfect song for this rainy day we are having here on the east coast. "Just Friends" will land on The Prism [...]

Glacially gorgeous electronic music wunderkind Nicolas Jaar seems to have a thing about collaborating with famous movie people's daughters - and hell, it seems to work for him. First, he got Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter Scout Larue to sing on the excellent track " With Just One Glance ." And now he has a new collaborative project called Just Friends with Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw's daughter Sasha Spielberg. Below, listen to a radio rip of their spare, beautiful reimagining of Leonard Cohen's " Avalanche ." Read More...

As previously reported , electronic auteur Nicolas Jaar recently released a pseudo-mini MP3 player dubbed The Prism . Among the 12-songs included is a cover of Leonard Cohen's "Avalanche" with Steven Spielberg's daughter Sasha - whom you may recognize from Jaar's live performances - under the moniker Just Friends. (The man knows how to pick celebrity leading ladies , apparently.) As Pretty Much Amazing points out, the track is now available online, and you can stream it below. For this version, Jaar elevated the original' s threatening minimalism to [...]

EDM-extraordinaire Nicolas Jaar has continued his trend of unexpected but welcome remixes and covers with this eternally subdued track. In order to create this minimalistic tune, he has joined forces with vocalist Sasha Spielberg (yes, Steven's daughter) to form super-chilled duo Just Friends. " Avalanche " was originally sung by the one and only Leonard Cohen, but this peculiar choice of subject material hasn't stopped Jaar and Spielberg from creating something special, in fact the original track is so far deviated from the final sparkling result that it is hard to understand why Jaar chose to remix this [...]

America lacks an institution on par with the BBC1 Essential Mix. Sometimes bands of bearders pop up on Morning Becomes Eclectic, but they usually only play a few songs to soundtrack 9 a.m. binges on craisin scones. We stick to the pastries, they create their own tradition in which every notable artist (and the Swedish House Mafia) drops gems on them. The concept was actually spawned in America, but in those primordial pre-Skrillex days, there was little national interest in electronic music other than those kids at your college who emerged from K binges to periodically proclaim that "Oakenfold was [...]

Here's a list of weird / awesome things electro prodigy Nicolas Jaar has done recently – release an aluminum cube of music called The Prism (it features songs by Jaar and friends and, based on Jaar's label's website, acts like a mini MP3 player, just one you can't put any new music on or rip any music off), collaborate with Steven Spielberg's daughter Sasha to record a prism-exclusive cover of Leonard Cohen's "Avalanche" as Just Friends, and make a really excellent BBC 1 Essential Mix [...]

In a world where the expression "mixtape" is commonly used for a bunch of mp3s put together in a zip file, !K7 records tapes series gets back to the old-school way. After The Rapture and The Big Pink , it's time for math-rock band Foals to release their own two-sided compilation on July 24th featuring tracks and remixes by Nicolas Jaar , Blood Orange , Dorian Concept , Bibio and many more. Find the electro-oriented tracklist below. SIDE A Nicolas Jaar - Variations [...]

Nicolas Jaar is in no way similar to Marmite. The love/hate relationship (that I hope I'm not alone in possessing) with the young NY prodigy is just far too complex. For example, his latest mix for BBC Radio 12s Essential series is what Yogi bear would describe as 'more aurally pleasing and adventurous than your average mix'. After a tad too much mead he'd probably even go so far as to proclaim that it's refreshing to hear such an diverse spectrum of music on primetime Radio 1. Yogi is dead; long live Yogi. That said, the whole [...]

Nicolas Jaar recién hizo una (increíble) aportación para Essential Mix de BBC Radio 1 y la verdad es que el mix le quedó tremendo. La selección es ecléctica de principio a fin y va desde sus propios temas, pasando por Jay Z, Jonny Greenwood, Marvin Gaye, Feist, Unknown… hasta llegar a Beyoncé Knowles y nada más y nada menos que NSYNC. Durante 118 minutos Jaar nos lleva de paseo por su gusto musical, que podemos asegurar es refinado. Juzguen ustedes mismos, acá abajo está el tracklist y el mix. [...]

Feels a little ridiculous calling Nicolas Jaar 's The Prism one of our favorite releases of 2012 so far, as the tracks come housed in a tiny, fragile (ours already broke), very cool looking $40 aluminum cube that most people won't be able to hear until Jaar decides to release all of these tracks digitally. A few Prism tracks surfaced over the weekend though - buried deep inside Jaar's perfect Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1 - so I guess it's [...]

• Don't Break My Love

Its Monday May 21st, and were almost about to hit that three day Weekend and I got your weekly mixes for you to start and end your week!. I will start out with a disco house mix from Mickey ( if your having a chill pool party this weekend this mix is a must download), and also I have a Essential Mix from Nicolas Jaar (This mix is a journey through electronic music that I can't describe because it will take to long, so just listen). And my third mix is a intergalactic disco [...]

Some interesting visuals from Nicolas Jaar and guitarist Dave Harrington, a.k.a. Darkside, on the track "A1," which comes from the duo's recent collaborative EP .
