Cat Power | Cherokee (Nicolas Jaar Remix)
Today; Atlanta, Georgia experimentalist Chan Marshall – AKA Cat Power has graced us with an early glimpse of her hiatus shattering release Sun.
Coupled with the original is an exquisite rework by a man who needs no introduction, Nicolas Jaar . The Clown & Sunset boss takes the already delicate original and strips it down to Marshall’s porcelain voice, surrounding it with complementary airy and fragile synths.

Valentin Stip | Hiathaikm
[Valentin Stip]
Yet another golden piece has been offered up from those over at Clown & Sunset . This time, the tune is courtesy of Paris-born producer Valentin Stip , who we caught warming up the day at Montreal’s MUTEK Piknik . Although he hit the decks early in the afternoon ( MUTEK Piknik begins at 2pm), the crowd was already substantial and completely immersed in Valentin’s set, which quickly encouraged us to forget about our anticipation to see C&S founder Nicolas Jaar , the following act.
Valentin’s latest gem first became available on the Clown & Sunset Prism , however, the tune has now been (thankfully) loaded up onto his Soundcloud . Like much of the work that emerges from the label, “Hiathaikm” has a cinematic quality as it evolves, winds up and releases at just the right moments. Valentin characteristically embraces space, crafting woolly soundscapes through a deliberately drowsy beat, which remains present behind the mystical vocal and melancholic piano lines throughout.
While you’re at it, be sure to lend an ear to Pavla & Noura , a collaboration between Val and his friend, Paul Sara, available on the Prism as well.

Video: Darkside | A1
Six months ago, Clown & Sunset unshackled the first recordings of this collaborative entity. Today they released this video, directed by Clown & Sunset’s associate and “in-house filmmaker”, Ryan Staake . The immersive qualities of the EP are far from lost as we follow these shrouded figures through a synchronic visual interpretation of the modern classic A1.
“ DARKSIDE began when a converter plug exploded in Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington ’s Berlin hotel room during their summer tour. When the smoke cleared, their white Genelec speakers were fried. But rather than retiring for the night, they plugged into a computer and merged sounds, forming DARKSIDE.”
