Nicolas Jaar: Essential Mix–
Posted by Calum Sager on 18 September 2012–
Nicolas Jaar's impeccable Essential Mix from earlier this year has now been generously uploaded to his label's soundcloud page. To make things even better, the uploaded version is uninterrupted, BBC-free and available to download. To say the mix is adventurous would be an understatement, Jaar weaves between tracks by Jonny Greenwood, Marvin Gaye, Pearson Sound, Charles Mingus and N Sync, all the while maintaining a deep and moody undercurrent that is typical of both his own productions and his sets. A real masterclass in selection. Download and delve in.
