Darkside - "Paper Trails" (Live RA Session)
VideosCommentYesterday, Nicolas Jaar and David Harrington--a.k.a. Darkside--kicked off Resident Advisor's new "RA Sessions" series with a bang via a glorious performance of Psychic centerpiece "Paper Trails." Watch as the duo stretches the piece to over twice its original length; it's psychedelic microhouse magic!
Psychic is out now via Jaar's Other People label. We're kind of loving it:

Daftside Remixes Random Access Memories
New Tracks7 CommentsI know Nicolas Jaar isn't the most orthodox of producers, and made a ballsy move when remixing Grizzly Bear and Brian Eno on the same 12" earlier this year; however, I'm not sure anything Nick has done so far could have prepared me for this!
Mixing the name "Daft Punk" with the name of Jaar side-project "Darkside," Daftside takes every single track from the new Daft Punk album and remixes it in a strange, textured, and warped experience--a lot of the album's original funk still remains, though. While the remixes showcase some seriously passion for the music Daft Punk presented on RAM earlier this year, I wonder if keeping the "Lose Yourself To Dance" two seconds long is a statement of some sort.
Either way, the fact that Daftside was able to take tracks like these and bring them into a completely different realm shows focus, vision, and creativity. These aren't your average remixes. Enjoy, and check a review for RAM below:
