Nicolas Jaar

Post by panleft » Sun Feb 06, 2011 9:17 am

Did a search for some threads but couldn't see much about this guy...

I was advised to check out his album two days ago and haven't really stopped listening to it.

For fans of James Blake, Mount Kimbie Synkro etc. His production is amazing. The tempo is slow, I mean really slow, like 105bpm some tunes, but could really see some of his tunes fitting into a dark or minimal dubstep set, well I think so anyway.

I haven't had a chance to check out his full back catalog, but will be purchasing and searching through his older stuff over the next few days!

So far, this is my favourite, see what you think;

On a second search I realised there was a few mentions of his in the past! Damn thing showed up no results at first!

But anyway, still deserves a thread imo.

love his work. very impressive he handles it all as a 20 year old (i think?) still full-time enrolled at a prestigious university.

Haven't actually listened to any of this guy's music yet for some reason, but I've known about his mixes for a while. His BBC essential mix in particular I thought was quality
