Nicolas Jaar put out a steady stream of excellent music last year and while we never saw a true follow up to 2011’s Space Is Only Noise the collection of tracks in the Nymphs series (“Fight” took our #68 slot on our favorite songs of 2015 list) more than made up for it. To cap off his year, Jaar shared a 66-minute mix via Resident Advisor. The mix was recorded in December last year in Brooklyn. Jaar also explains where the photo came for the cover art, “Picture is from those new machines at passport control at JFK.”
