Nicolas Jaar
just very beautiful music from 19 years old american-chilean Nicolas Jaar (wolf + lamb, circus company)
Nicolas Jaar - Live @ Club Der Visionaire
Nicolas Jaar - Live Fall 08
“I don’t mean to make a big thing of it, but Nicolas Jaar, the New York-based producer affiliated with the Wolf + Lamb label, is only 19 years old. In any number of different contexts, that might be unremarkable. In indie rock, you’re expected to be young. Same goes for hip-hop. Surely there’s no shortage of under-20s manning the barricades of nu-electro’s fluo revolution. But house and techno? I’m sorry, but aside from the Martinez Brothers, we’re generally a generation aging rapidly.” Philip Sherburne
“”I think it was the summer of 2004,” recalls Jaar. “I was at this photographer’s studio in Chile, and the photographer was blasting Tiga’s DJ Kicks mix. Being 14, I was like, ‘This is incredible!’” He promptly and volubly declared a newfound love for electronic music—”even though I had heard nothing, just Tiga. So at Christmas, my dad goes to this record shop and says, ‘Give me the most forward-thinking electronic music album right now.’” You can almost see the punchline coming: the CD the clerk handed over the counter was Ricardo Villalobos’ Thé Au Harem D’Archimède. The guy wasn’t like, ‘Oh, I’m gonna give you the best Chilean artist’,” stresses Jaar. “We were in Santiago, but my dad just said, ‘Give me the most forward-thinking thing you’ve got.’ [Villalobos] just happened to be Chilean. He gives me that for Christmas, along with a Luomo CD, Vocalcity. When I’m 14. This is all thanks to my dad being pretty good at doing this type of shit. So I listened to Villalobos at 14, and this is definitely a little bizarre, almost maybe a little sad, but it was the sexiest music I’d ever heard in my whole life. But it was also so complicated, there was so much stuff going on—even though I didn’t really purely enjoy it like I enjoyed jazz or African music. There was this weird love for the techno aspect, even though I had no direct experience of that until then.” Philip Sherburne interview on RA

pai e clar. deci avem asa:
valu’1:
ricardo - fugit din santiago din cauza lu’ pinochet refugiat impreuna cu anghinarea lui la berlin
Dandy Jack si cu Luciano -la fel doar ca in elvetia.
valu’ 2:
senor coconut- fugit de plictiseala de la berlin, stabilit in santiago unde reinventeaza si evolutioneaza cu succes muzica latino folosindu-se de scoala clubului.
valu’ 3:
tanarul din imagine- plecat din santiago la new-york
(btw, dati un search dupa tacsu)
eu zic ca: 1. chiar ar trebui sa mergem si noi in Chile sa vedem care-i treaba
2. techno-latino fusion suna foarte prost pe hartie dar atat de bine in ureche.
3. dansam toti merengue in 2010? io’s pentru. mai ales ca daca treci peste teama de ridicol, peste “ifrate, ce-i tziganeala asta?” sau peste :uff, iar voci de mamai cu nume de masini?!”, lasi bazinul sa prinda miscarea si uite cum ai intrat intr-o lume noua, pe care pana acum o credeai vetusta si plina oricum de cocalari cu gel in par.
oye como va mi ritmo
bueno pa’gozar, mulata

desi nu e, decat pe alocuri, are feeling de disco.
atata pozitivism, pana la iubire :)

al doilea set mi-a luminat ziua; ce-i drept, merengue-le nu da beatul de dans, nici nu mi-a trecut prin cap :D
