[SUCH A SCENE] 100% SILK US TOUR [CHICAGO]





100% Silk Tour at Q4 Loft - Chicago IL 11.19.2011

NICOLAS JARR DEBUTS DARKSIDE



Nicolas Jaar’s just released his latest project (with Dave Harrington), called Darkside. Jaar calls the record “the closest thing to rock & roll I’ve ever done,” I can see why he says that but, these track are more of a minimalist take with beats that will make you groove on. Highly Recommended. The Darkside EP is out now on Jaar’s own Clown & Sunset.
