Nicolas Jaar is a Chilean-American composer and recording artist, born on January 10, 1990, in New York City. With a sound that is at once intricate and pioneering, Jaar has carved out a distinctive niche in the electronic and experimental music scene. He spent much of his early life between Chile and New York, absorbing an eclectic mix of influences that ultimately shaped his unique sonic palette. He burst onto the scene with his 2010 debut album, "Space Is Only Noise," which garnered widespread critical acclaim for its avant-garde blend of minimal techno, ambient, and pop sensibilities.

His work consistently challenges the boundaries between genres, as exemplified in albums like "Sirens," which received a deluxe edition release.

Beyond his solo work, Jaar is one half of the duo Darkside, and he frequently collaborates with other artists, bringing his distinctive touch to a wide array of musical projects. Through his vast and varied body of work, Nicolas Jaar has secured his reputation as a vanguard of electronic music, continually pushing the limits of what is sonically possible.
