Stream: Nicolas Jaar’s BBC Essential Mix


Posted May 21, 2012 in MP3s/Streams

 

Without doubt one of the downright strangest entries into the BBC’s Essential Mix series, Nicolas Jaar’s effort takes in everything from Badalamenti to Beyonce, via Aphex Twin and Bill Callahan. There’s also some lengthy solo piano and a few cuts from Jaar’s own Clown & Sunset label. Oh yeah, and some *NSYNC…

Referring to a mix as a “journey” is probably as cliched as it gets these days but you know, the word keeps springing to mind with this one.

Listen on Soundcloud.
