If there is ONE mix you need to listen to this year, it will undoubtedly be this one. The new two hour long Essential Mix by Chilean New York Native, Nicolas Jaar is nothing short of breathtaking. Jaar emotional approach to experimenting with sounds or silence for that matter, brings a level of creativity very few can match. He explains:

“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.”

This adventurous tracklist comprised of two hours of music, may seem random at first glance, but results into a wave of coherent minimalism in layers of ambient music, classically inclined electronica, all wrapped up in soft but tangible drum patterns. You will hear Jay-Z, Aphex Twin, Marvin Gaye, Just Friends, My Girl and Me (probably Jaar), *NSYNC and a number of Jaar-related tracks and edits.
