This is something well worth getting excited about, as one of the hottest names in house music (for want of a more comprehensive label) is about to return to the UK for a series of live dates. He’ll be playing once in the capital, after a double header in the north.
Nicolas Jaar was catapulted to the forefront of many people’s minds last year when he unveiled Space Is Only Noise, his album that recently ranked 2nd in Rough Trade’s End of Year charts for the biggest releases of 2011, with Mojo branding it their 4th favourite electronic long player of the same 12 months. This new tour will see him no doubt reference his earlier work, what with the name being taken from a 2011 EP, though the promise is that it will also mark the start of a new live show.
On February 2nd he arrives as the highlight of a Clown & Sunset event at Camden’s Roundhouse, with fellow co-founder of that label Soul Keita, and Acid Pauli also in attendance, making for a night of no doubt offbeat but infectious tunes. Before that though the same troupe arrive in Leeds to play the Mint Warehouse on January 27th, with the addition of Dinky, and a day later (28th) you can also catch Mr Jaar at Manchester’s Sound Control for another instalment of the show. It’s also worth mentioning that Hot Flush bossman Scuba will be manning Room Two on that one. As many details as we could find are below, with links to tickets beneath each one, followed by the usual video treats.
