Nilcolas Jaar

Thank you for inviting me to be a part of this @ednamartinezdj . Made a mix with songs that say more than anything I could write really.....Going to play two songs I wrote a while ago, one which I performed live in January 2020 at the Museum of Memory & Human Rights in Santiago and another which was made shortly after, they're both influenced by what was taking place in Chile at the time which mirrors in some ways what we are seeing in Colombia now. As some of you may know, since the end of april in Colombia there have been more than 2,000 cases of police violence against protesters, 33 victims of eye injuries and more than 40 civilians killed by the police. Since the beginning of the year more than 60 rights defenders have been assasinated, and among them 20 were indigenous leaders. Since 2016, over 400 human rights defenders have been killed. In all this darkness, there may be some hope that the protests can create meaningful change. Last Sunday, Chileans elected a new group of citizens who will write a new constitution for the country. This was one of the core demands of the huge protests of 2019/2020.  It will be the first anywhere in the world to be written by an equal number of men and women and it will replace the constitution that has been in place since the years of the military dictatorship.  The only reason this moment of hope is possible in Chile is because of the incredible social movements that rose up to demand change. As I've said elsewhere, the courage and determination of Chilean students, activists, protesters, writers, artists has been astounding and they have/are shifted/shifting the political landscape and will continue to do so. In the past month I've heard stories of Colombian protesters taking cues from Chilean protesters and beautiful solidarity between Colombians and Palestinians also. We have so much to learn from each other. May this solidarity and interconnectedness bring us better days and in the meantime may music sustain us and nourish us. Much love to you all ♡♡♡♡ - May 22nd 2021

Anders Trentemøller is one of those artists that can live up to the description of "trademark sound". Since his poll-bothering debut release in 2006 ('The Last Resort'), the Copenhagen based musician has been drawing on his love of 80s/ 90s indie and using that distinctive personal motif on his intricate electronic productions. After pioneering his own full live show he has now notched up over 300 appearances, and still found time to get to his fourth studio album. 'Fixion' was released earlier this year and sees him refine his sound, and yet add some organicity and more traditional song structure to the release. As he comes to the end of a sold-out tour, Anders has provided us with a delicate and ghostly mix for the start of your week and gives us some brief answers to some nosey questions.

Nicolas Jaar - And I Say (Xinobi Edit)

1. 
[they say:]

savior come down savior come down savior come down savior come down savior come down 

2. 
[they hum…]

3.

En las cenizas 
Vamos a armar 
No saber nada 
Es mejor

Ya no cabe nada 
Pero estamos juntos 
Sin noticias 
Del otro mundo 

Y cada día
Nuestro mundo
Se achica 
O se derrumba 

Y lo único que 
Me han dicho sobre el tema
Es que es el sentido común de una flecha

Y lo único que 
Me han dicho 
Es que es el sentido común de una flecha 

Y porque no responde
El sentido común 
No puedo utilizar su lenguaje 

Su lenguaje 

(TRANSLATION)= =

In the ashes,
we will form
knowing nothing now is better

there’s no space for anything
but we are together
without news of another world

and everyday,
our world, 
shrinks
or crumbles.

and the only thing they have said about any of this: 
is that it’s ‘the common sense of an arrow’. 

the only thing they have said about any of this: 
is that it’s ‘the common sense of an arrow’. 

but why doesn’t common sense respond?
I can no longer use its language.

6. mud

come in, 
don’t leave.

grown man:
can’t see.

figures out 
he can’t be
sunken with the crown

old man
i can’t see
you’re in the way
i can’t see me,

we must confess:

illusions number time

…

a drunk man’s on the lead
skies and all bleed
and no one can hear
the cry from the ground

it’s something to dig

there’s something in the mud
there’s something in the mud
there’s something in the mud

7. [instrumental]

8. sunder

Vapor’s forming,

And now I see right behind my eyes.

If the old you could tell me 
if the old you could tell me:

a win is a win 
but a loss is the death of a twin and we borrow

And we borrow.

Forming vapors,

behind my eyes,

And now I see right behind my eyes.


In the words of a prophet 
Sunder,
In the shape of the first and last
Sunder,
In the springs of the church of sin
Sunder,
In the blood of the hands that last,
Sunder,


Does a lock seek erosion?
Does a loss seek revenge of sin?

Right behind my eye,


We borrowed from the page of saint maurice
Named the mountain an egyptian saint
Drank the water from the church of springs
Does a loss seek revenge of sin?

Right behind my eye,

Is there blood in the court? 
Is there blood in the ceiling?
do we need to be still? 
Do we need your dominion?

Is there blood in the court? 
Is there blood in the ceiling?
do we need to be still? 
do we need to be still? 

Is there blood in the court? 
Is there blood in the ceiling?
do we need to be still? 
Do we need your dominion? 

9. hello, chain

won't you change, nature?
along me?
carry on your chain,
hell of chain.

we will now wait,
patience is our virtue,
NOW JUST WAIT.

10. [instrumental]

[I hum]

13. 

carried by a force until a certain peak
there, all you could see,
is swayed by the wind
like the locks in your hair
coloring your eyes
that look nowhere

like a faith made of silk

look around not ahead

a peak is just the way towards 
a descent

look around not ahead

(you have nowhere to look)

look around not ahead

a peak is just the way towards 
a descent

the forces on the hill
manifested by what you perceive as wind

look around not ahead.
