Nicolas Jaar made a new mix along with Dixon, Steffi, Ben UFO and Omar-S to mark Resident Advisor’s 500 installment of their podcast. I haven’t listened to the others yet but I thoroughly enjoyed Jaar’s mix which leans on the atmospheric side with sampled dialogue, experimental and neo-classical music interweaving with beats. The likes of Steve Reich, Alva Noto, How To Dress Well and Talk Talk feature.
“Mix was recorded in December 2015, in Brooklyn, New York. Picture is from those new machines at passport control at JFK.”
