Hot in 2012: Nicolas Jaar Voted the top live act in Resident Advisor’s 2011 poll…top marks from Pitchfork…world tours and festival spots…his own indie electronic label…and the dude doesn’t even have his degree from Brown yet. Nico stands where the words of jammy, improvisational live performance and sophisticated electronic music intersect and he may be the only one standing there. He’s kicking the year off with a showcase tour for the artists on his label, playing in London on Feb 2 and Williamsburg on Feb 3.
