Nicolas Jaar

For a man whose moniker is derived from a simple spoonerism of his name, Barcelona born Sau Poler's music is beautifully complex. Intricate shuffling drums, smooth shining synths, gentle arpeggiators, delicate chimes and warming basslines are just some of the ingredients that make up Sau Poler's sound. Fresh off the back of dropping his self-released Paradoxes Of Progress EP, we tuck into this exclusive mix from the man himself. Embark on a journey and get lost in 54 minutes of grooves.

"During the past months, I've been very fascinated listening to a bunch of underground producers, that kind of "lo-fi tape experimental house" sound, very well defined by labels like Opal Tapes, L.I.E.S, The Trilogy Tapes, Going Good, Latency, etc... Inspired in that way, I build the mixtape trying to oscillate into various genres and keeping that hypnotical feel. From that disco infected house tracks of Jack J and Andres remix, to the blurry minimalesque flavor of Vester Koza or Cloudface, through the Fleetwood Mac's classic edit by Mau. Closing with two beautiful pieces, the ambient passage from MIUAX and the night dreamer "Blackmoon" from the french producer Scan X, a song that touched deeply my adolescence and I've listened for ages and ages."

Sau Poler: Music To... Get Lost To

Nikita Quasim - l'amour, l'après-midi

Resident Advisor Review

  The promo video made for Sunset of a Clown Volume II is the opening shot to a Godard film soundtracked by Nicolas Jaar's "Marquises." It's either the height of pretension, or pretty brilliant. That I can't work out which probably makes it the latter. Music that actually puts you in a position where you're required to think about how it makes you feel is often among the finest. "Marquises" and the tracks that surround it on this second release from Jaar's imprint aren't necessarily the greatest things in the world, but each of them occupy a space that is hard to quantify—and that's exactly the point.

  Nikita Quasim's "Framboises" is bustling with microsound while a piano plays quickly over top in a superior mood piece, while Jaar's biting of French folkie is a nice twist on the prevailing trend towards South American protest songs. (He overlays it with a lazy breakbeat rather than a pounding house beat too, which seems to fulfill his stated goal of "taking the beats even slower.") Soul Keita, meanwhile, brings the only track that veers close enough to a dance floor. It builds and it builds, as an acoustic guitar and kick drum while away as a hazy sample gradually comes into view. Typically, the climax isn't the sort of thing that will have Amnesia crowds in ecstasy, but when you're dealing with music as intimate as this, you tend to want to have it for yourself anyway.

Blood in the Leaves (Nicolas Jaar)- Kanye West

'In 1988, there was a referendum that asked the Chilean people: “Do you want Pinochet to stay for eight more years?” That simple, yes or no. So the resistance—which was artists, leftists, activists—created a campaign for the “no.” They effectively turned a negative message into a positive message, which seems like the most elemental change that you can do. I feel an affinity with the political aspect of dance music—maybe it can increasingly become a place of protest'

Baba Stiltz-on-Studio Barnhus is an ongoing series of records that both define our label and constitute a sort of independent, freewheeling sidetrack to its narrative. From the tempo-bending noise-house of his 2013 label debut Our Girls, to this new Is Everything EP, his eighth original Studio Barnhus release, our buddy Baba has never not amazed us with his unpredictable methods, rigorous work ethic and life-changing trax.

On this particular record: Icy techno soul, actual r'n'b, the real future funk! An opportune start to '17 for us and Baba, who's looking forward to a year filled with a variety of record releases, collaborations, dj nights and live shows.
