Ah lookit, ye all came. So nice to see so many familiar faces; or it will be, as soon as our eyes adjust to the gloom. The smell? Oh that's only a common chemical reaction that happens when quicklime reacts with Justin Vernon's and Fleet Foxes' corpses. Now, are we all sitting tight? I hope the cable-ties aren't too restrictive; I just can't have you all skipping off to Nialler 9's or Karl's sites. You see, what I share with you, my six or seven readers, is an exclusive relationship, and though I [...]
Ah lookit, ye all came. So nice to see so many familiar faces, or it will, be as soon as our eyes adjust to the gloom. The smell?

The best albums are much more than a collection of stand out songs. Like anything successful, a great album finds multiple parts coming together as one; accomplishing moods, textures, and developments not possible by any one singular piece. The best albums force you to take a step back, to not only look at each moment but to examine how that moment fits into a larger picture. Perhaps most important, the best albums are constantly evolving begging for repeated listens to show you all of their ins and out. Check out the 50 albums that kept us coming [...]
by Antwan Shalom /// Style: Deep-House, Ambient Les face cachées du Soleil et de la Lune se rencontrent pour une éclipse noire sur fond sonore mélancolique. La Terre regarde, d'un air interrogé, montre du doigt et se détourne pour mieux apercevoir les contrastes nés de l'association d'un astre et du désastre.

Sure, a top songs list can never not be subjective, but these selections meant the most to us over the year of 2011. The following tracks brought every minute of joy to a new high, and every moment of heartache a bit of solace. These are the songs that kept us writing throughout the year, that brought us out to shows, lead us to meet so many wonderful people, and most importantly soundtracked a year of unforgettable memories. Pending the arrival of any global calamity, looking back at the songs of 2011 only builds our excitement to see what 2012 [...]

Nicolas Jaar and Biggie Smalls? Not exactly the hot couple I expected, given that one's relatively brand new, while [...]
The sound of Nicolas Jaar is one that is very difficult to define. Jaar's wide variety of samples, along with his creative approach to his self-defined genre makes for a very unique and captivating auditory experience. His sound may come across as a bit bizarre at first, but the more you listen to it the more subtleties you begin to notice. His sound has a transformative nature about it, constantly redefining itself as the song progresses taking the listener through a wide variety of samples, beats and tones. Jaar's artistic approach to his music is refreshing in this era of conventional [...]

I'm having déjà vu right now, sitting on my couch and writing about Nicolas Jaar again.

Somewhere literally between his EP from the beginning [...]

Nico Nico Nico... it feels lately that all I've been hearing are tracks and remixes by the Brown student by way of NYC/Chile - and I make that statement with gusto. Another EP last month, numerous remixes, and a collaboration called DARKSIDE makes me wonder how Nicolas Jaar makes [...]
Nicolas Jaar released one of 20112s most promising albums at the ripe age of twenty-one, a university student born just at the start of the musically in vogue 90s. Now, respect your elders, but it is always inspiring to see someone younger than you accomplish success you've only fathomed. If processed the right way, with the right perspective, it should only propel you to be better - not to be daunted or overwhelmed by others' success, but motivated by all the ways in which you yourself can still grow. With the release of his new DARKSIDE [...]

Nicolas Jaar and the bands drummer Dave Harrington have kicked off a new sound in the form of DARKSIDE . The band aims to create a unique minimal print that doesn't fall from a lack of sound and has been hugely successful in doing just that, with tons of cosmic layers all jostling for recognition. In a recent interview Nicolas has said that the sound is “centered around a fairy I met in my dreams. And the black keys…”, with the music defined for the loungers, the headphones and anywhere but the dancefloor! [...]
Blown away by DARKSIDE, the collaboration between beat-maestro Nicolas Jaar and his guitarist Dave Harrington. The duo has put out a 3-track EP that basically re-invents electronic music and pushes all boundaries. It’s minimal yet feels so huge; haven’t heard anything this good in a very long time. Stream the EP below and buy it over at Clown & Sunset .
