C&S 008EP
|
2014 repress of the first Darkside release, originally released 2012 (both tracks are exclusive non-album material). Dave Harrington and Nicolas Jaar are Darkside. This EP begins innocently enough, but as it progresses, it feels like searching for pleasure where you know you shouldn't. The beat in this clandestine affair has just enough restraint, and you know the catharsis is worth the sin. "...from dreamy electronic music inflected with impressionist piano, gently digitized French singing, lobby-jazz, and cave sounds to the terse, rugged dub-funk of Darkside, all while still sounding totally Jaar: nocturnal, cerebral, sensuous, paradoxical, and intuitive." --Pitchfork (8.0)

C&S 006EP
|
Latest from Nicolas Jaar's own label and Valentin Stip's first EP. Distorted pianos, ghostly voices, and metallic percussion fill the room: a witch's brew. His music can be described as classically-based, even though the influence can at first be difficult to hear. Much classical music is grandiose, while Val's sound is deliberately modest -- spare and full of space. Listening to his baroque structures sounds like what one would imagine Wagner might sound like if his music were deconstructed into fragments.
