Ever since I heard the Darkside EP by the musical wonderman Nicolas Jaar and his long-time friend Dave Harrington I was desperate for more. The moody, midtempo, minimalistic, bouncy beats overlaid with Harringtons bluesy guitar create a cosmic atmosphere to completely get submersed in. The two musical styles gel together so incredibly well and we are clearly only just touching the surfaces of their musical abilities. A new release is surely in the pipeline however any news on its whereabouts is sadly non-existent. In the meantime I've stumbled across a fantastic mix by the duo recorded for The LLP Radio show somewhere in France.
This excellent low slung mix, is filled with the Jaar style we’ve come to expect. The musical selection is on a point as ever, seamlessly flowing through dreamy electronica, hip hop (Jaars confirmed main influence), impressionist piano, avant garde jazz and his signature slowed down and stretched out brand of techno.Yet another masterpiece from the 22 year old Clown and Sunset record label head honcho. I guarantee this one goes straight onto the ipod and on repeat.
