Visuals – A Pixel

Nicolas Jaar’s Other People subscription label is marking its first birthday with a brand-new compilation entitled “Work”.

The track was produced by Nicolas Jaar featuring his Darkside partner David Harrington on guitar.

The 11-track compilation “Work” will drop on September 28th 2014 via Other People. Pre-order here.

Benoit & Sergio – Your Darkness

Renowned for their sublime, lyrical take on dance music, DC/Berlin based duo Benoit & Sergio return to their spiritual home of Visionquest with some freshly crafted groove ridden thrills. More set in the smoke and heat of the club than their vocalised bittersweet visions, the ‘Your Darkness’ EP showcases the duo at their dancefloor focused playful best whilst incorporating infectious vocal samples, searing melodies and pulsing rhythms. Opener ‘Splash’ is at once murky and tropical as the bassline grinds underneath light footed percussion whilst title track ‘Your Darkness’ is a deep and moody groover with signature rich synth work. Closing track ‘Beat Macho’ is a wayward beast with a darker edge and satisfyingly complex chugging framework that makes for a heady trip into the depths of the night.

This year the duo is working on completing their long anticipated debut album co-produced with DARKSIDE aka Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington, and set to be released on the magically diverse Other People imprint. A single will be dropped as a teaser in the not too distant future.

Your Darkness EP is out on July 14th 2014 (vinyl) and July 28th 2014 (digitally) on Visionquest. Stream the title track below.
