Nicolas Jaar is a talented upcoming 22 year-old musician from New York whose popularity has exploded recently, with his debut album “Space Is Only Noise” being declared the #1 album of 2011 by Resident Advisor, Mixmag, Crack Mag, #2 by DJ Mag and #20 by Pitchfork.
With those kind of plaudits it was only going to be a matter of time before he was invited to record an Essential Mix, and finally, here it is! When there’s *NSYNC included in an Essential Mix you damn well know it’s going to be a good one!
“I’ve watched Jurassic Park twice in my life – once when I was six and the second time a couple of weeks ago. It inspired me to think about how gaps in time change our way of perceiving”.
