Cupe Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Nicolas Jaar ditches Clown & Sunset, launches new label Other PeopleAfter four years of pushing the envelope with a string of stellar releases, the odd live exhibit at MoMA and one lofty, music-playing prism, Nicolas Jaar’s Clown & Sunset imprint is no more. Speaking to Resident Advisor, the New Yorker has revealed that he’s rebranding: C&S is out, new label Other People is in.Jaar hasn’t offered much of an explanation as to why he’s launching a new label, but devout Clown & Sunset followers should be pleased to hear that most of the original cast of artists seem to have stuck around. The first Other People release, a compilation titled Trust, is due to arrive on September 2 and will feature contributions from various former-Clown & Sunset names: Dave Harrington (one half of Jaar’s Darkside project), Acid Pauli, Nikita Quasim, Valentin Stip and Jaar himself all feature on the tracklist.So what else do we know? According to the label head himself, Other People will be a “serial label”. Jaar explains: “Like a magazine, we deliver new content each week. Every Sunday, our members will receive a new issue.” Over the weekend, Jaar got behind the decks for underground streaming pros Boiler Room in Chicago, his laptop plastered in hard-to-miss Other People stickers – unfortunately, though, it seems the set was plagued by technical difficulties. There’s been no official word on what went wrong, but Jaar’s perfectionist streak is well known, particularly when it comes to sound quality. The full Trust tracklist is below – more info on the new label is, hopefully, to come.Trust tracklist:01. Will Epstein – Trust I02. Nikita Quasim – The Way I Felt Today03.
