- frequenze documentary - A Londra esistono tanti piccoli festival, nati e sviluppati negli anni come satelliti di manifestazioni piu grandi, che fanno della qualità e della proposta una regola fissa. Ad esempio il Bloc. (weekend del 6 -7 luglio) ha scelto di promuovere i suoi headliners producendo una serie di interviste molto curate. Per la serie "la tv che vorrei" noi vi diamo il là con Apparat. Le puntate a casa Jaar, Numan e Reich sono linkate sulla pagina Vimeo.

• valerianik - Just Friends – Avalanche (NicolasJaarBBCradioEssentialMix)

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 [...]

What is it with Nicolas Jaar and famous people's kids? First he teamed up with  Scout LaRue , daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, and now he's revealed this track with one Sasha Spielberg. Yes, you guessed it. She just so happens to have a father called Steven who directed some film called 'Jurassic Park'. If you thought that was intriguing enough, then just wait for this. The track in question is a Leonard Cohen cover, as Jaar takes apart his track 'Avalanche' and pieces it back together as a masterpiece [...]

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...

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 [...]

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 [...]

Listen to Nicolas Jaar ’s latest collaboration for the 'Just Friends' project. Jaar's latest track, a cover of Leonard Cohen’s 'Avalanche', sees him work with Sasha Spielberg, the daughter of legendary director Steven Spielberg. This isn’t the first time Jarr has joined forces with a Hollywood offspring, as he recently worked with Scout Willis, the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore.

I admit it, my favourite Nicolas Jaar tracks are the not the ones when he's smart with classical music or ... Continue reading �

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

On Friday night, Electronic/Ambient artist Nicolas Jaar dropped by BBC Radio 1 to display his Essential Mix which featured some of music's greatest including Jay-Z, Marvin Gaye and...*NSYNC. You can listen to the mix here .

W hat is it about music that strikes such an emotional chord with us as humans? Is it the tonal pitch, the varying layers of patterns and beasts, or is it simply its ageless audible beauty? Whatever the case may be, music moves all of us in some emotional state or form. In my personal opinion no artist today does a better job of transporting their listeners through this emotional experience quite like New York native, and Ivy League student, Nicolas Jaar . Over the past year Jaar has established himself as one [...]
