Nicolas Jaar | Space is Only Noise
“People just going harder and harder, that’s totally going the opposite direction from what I want to bring to this, if I can bring anything. I realized that people will respond to feelings, and not just crazy beats. It’s more about playing with people’s expectations.”
Dusty beats and expressive melodies carelessly meander through this native New Yorker’s first full-length album. Nicolas Jaar , 20-year old student of Brown University, embraces a willingness to breach sub-100-bpm territory in a fantasia of spellbinding, sensual sounds that send you deep inside yourself into a distant yet pleasant trance as the album progresses. In a masterful assimilation of organic tones, Jaar composes a cohesive album designed to be enjoyed from start to finish.
Released just earlier this week, from those at Circus Company , Space is Only Noise has already received notable reviews from the blogosphere and fans alike. Borrowing insight from primary influences such as ambient ancestor’s Brian Eno and Erik Satie, as well as Ethiopean jazz legend, Mulatu Astatke, this prodigy of a producer crafts a seamless nostalgic spectacle of sounds.

And an older gem of a mix for those who are unfamiliar.
