About
DARKSIDE began when a converter plug exploded in Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington’s Berlin hotel room during their summer tour. When the smoke cleared, their white Genelec speakers were fried. But rather than retire for the night, they plugged into a computer and merged sounds, forming DARKSIDE.
The duo continued their symbiosis after returning to New York. Dave’s indie rock bravado and Nico’s electronic percussion came together in a series of Brooklyn recording sessions. In their dim basement studio, Dave’s soprano licks and Nico’s falsetto converged as they formed a three track, self-titled EP.
DARKSIDE is just the beginning of the duo’s work. After premiering at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in December, they are already recording for future releases and plotting upcoming shows.
