Nicolas Jaar – 18 years old – was born in New York. Soon after his birth, he moved to Santiago de Chile, where he bathed in Latin influences and indigeneous musical traditions that hold a determinant place in his productions. Nicolas will eventually come back to his birthplace as a teenager. Haunted by Mulatu Astatke, Erik Satie, Ezekiel Honig and Villalobos’ “Thé au Harem d’Archimède”; Nicolas started to make organic electronic music in 2004 at the young age of 14. Last year he debuted with “The Student EP” on Wolf and Lamb Music with remixes by Seth Troxler and Kasper.
He is now studying music cognition and philosophy at Brown University in Rhode Island. Nicolas has a few releases coming up, including some remixes by Ryan Crosson and a very special track that closes AIRDROP’s new volume of the Extraction compilation series – releasing February ’09. Needless to say, you will be sure to have many more opportunities to appreciate his creative genius. But as of now, Nicolas urges you to listen to his music instead of reading these mere words. It is with extreme pleasure that we are posting this incredible live set that Nicolas Jaar has been crafting with the most careful attention and subtle taste.
So come on in without waiting any longer, and join the ceremony…
Nicolas is the man!
