About Nicolas Jaar

Nicolas Jaar (English:, Spanish: [ˈɟʝaɾ]; né Nicolás Jaar; born 10 January 1990) is an American composer and musician. Among his notable works are the albums Space Is Only Noise (2011), Sirens (2016), and Cenizas (2020). He has also released three albums as one half of his band Darkside (Psychic, 2013, Spiral, 2021 and Nothing, 2025) and two further albums under the alias Against All Logic. After folding his record label Clown & Sunset in 2013, Jaar founded Other People and has since released many experimental recordings through the imprint, including works by Lydia Lunch, Pierre Bastien, John Wall and Lucrecia Dalt. He scored Jacques Audiard's Dheepan (2015 Palme d'Or winner) and Pablo Larrain's 2019 film Ema. This was Jaar's first foray into dance music, documented in his first release on Mizrahi's label Wolf + Lamb, entitled The Student. Jaar toured the album with his future bandmate Dave Harrington (later of Darkside) and Will Epstein, and was later voted number one Live Act on Resident Advisor for the three years he toured the record. He has also released three albums as one half of his band Darkside and two further albums under the alias Against All Logic.
