# Nicolas Jaar breaks his love for free, plays music
The intoxicating life of a touring musician is over and it's back to
school for **Nicolas Jaar** . Since the release of his debut album
*[Space is Only Noise][1]* in early 2011, the New York based, Chilean
born musician has been on the road pretty much all the time. The 21 year
old producer was studying comparative literature at Brown University,
Rhode Island until he became one of the most talked about artists of
this and the past year, largley thanks to his **Wolf + Lamb**
connection. Therefore he'll be swapping samplers for university books
for now and not playing any live shows until 2012.
As a parting gift Jaar is currently giving away his latest single,
titled '[Don't Break My Love][2]{: target="_blank"}' (which you can
listen to and download from the player embedded below). And there's
another little treat: alongside **Azari & III** (mind their
[**Electronic Beats recommended** tour with **When Saints Go
Machine**][3]), Nico put together a 'Six Mix' for **BBC Radio 6** last
sunday. The show is [up for stream for another five days][4]{:
target="_blank"}, and it's definetly worth the listen: Jaar collected
music that inspired him when growing up, followed by his current
favourites -- such as Animal Collective, Lil Wayne, Missy Elliott and
Cat Power (which is an obvious pick since he was spinning her Rolling
Stones cover version, the same one that [**Nikita Quasim** used for her
sweet **Clown & Sunset** mix][5]{: target="_blank"}).
Furthermore, Jaar started a new project, titled **Darkside**, where he's
collaborating with his band member and guitarist **Dave Harrington**,
they'll be releasing a self-titled three track EP on Clown & Sunset
on December 5th which you can pre-listen here.
Last but not least (and as mentioned below): the first Nicolas Jaar
shows in 2012 are already popping up -- see below.

January 15th NL-Amsterdam -- Melkweg
January 17th DE-Hamburg -- Ego
January 19th, 2012 DE-Munich -- Rote Sonne
January 20th, 2012 FR-Brest La Carène (Salle des Musiques Actuelles)
