Music : Body&Soul Main Stage 2011 : Nicolas Jaar

Following a string of provocative debut singles for the likes of Wolf + Lamb that opened the door to his illustrious sound, his cerebral debut album on Circus Company, ‘Space Is Only Noise’ has become one of the most successful debuts of recent times garnering praise from the likes of Dazed & Confused (“Nicolas Jaar has achieved something that few electronic musicians have achieved before – bringing geeky techno fiends, jazz lovers and chav ravers into an unholy union”) and many more.

Now, the recently turned 21 year old embarks on the next chapter of his career as his world class live show evolves into a new band format. Voted no 2 live sets of the year in 2010 by Resident Advisor, Nicolas Jaar’s solo live show has featured an array of keyboards, synths and his own singing on a vintage microphone to date, full exemplifying his loose, slow and seductive experiment into sonic grooves in a string of sell out shows.

Already sharing more atmospheric ground with cutting edge indie outfits, his groundbreaking album material now seeks fresh interpretation in a dynamic live instrumental context.
