It’s just like to name a track “Rained The Whole Time” isn’t it? It’s also just like to punch you in the gut with uncompromising emotion and, for the lack of a better word, Realness. We’re starting to believe there is no limit to this man’s creativity. Perhaps the best part is that Nicolas Jaar is incorporating some of the krautrock influences he first toyed with late last year on the immensely vital Darkside EP. Check it out below:

Shlohmo’s Vacation EP is out now; inside it you’ll find Jaar’s remix, along with remixes by Airhead, Salva and Groundislava
