Earlier this month, Nicolas Jaar launched his latest project: Other People , an imprint branded by Jaar as a “serial label.” Every week, members (yes, you have to sign up) receive a new issue. The first, released on September 2, featured a handful of new names alongside a number of artists you’ll recognize from Clown & Sunset. Valentin Stip was of them and you can listen to his contribution below.

Earlier this summer, Nicolas Jaar announced that he would be putting his Clown & Sunset label to rest in favor of something new: Other People , a self-described “serial label.” According to Jaar, “Like a magazine, we deliver new content each week. Every Sunday, our members receive a new issue.” For $5 a month (or $50 a year), one can subscribe to the label in order to receive weekly “issues” complete with a free download.
Jaar marked the launch of other-people.net a few days back with the first 11 minutes of the forthcoming Darkside record. The teaser of “Golden Arrow” burns slowly, opening with six minutes of beautiful, dissonant sound: sparse violins, piano and a mélange of atmospheric sound interspersed with white noise. It isn’t until half way through the song that the duo forgoes their restraint and moves into Dave Harrington ‘s graceful, sinuous guitar-based groove that you’re well acquainted with if you’re familiar with Darkside ’s self-titled debut EP.
Download the composition and, if you wish, sign up to Other People here and receive Trust , the first compilation from the imprint on September 2.
