0137 Nicolas Jaar – El Bandido @ 1:06

Electronic, House

Mike June 24, 2012

Nicolas reveals such a deft touch on this track. I edited out only 11 seconds, but listen to whole song below to put it in perspective.  The best part is clearly the sample at the 0:06 second mark on the edit. I can’t pick out the instrument, it sounds like a guitar but run through some compression and other effects. He uses is so sparsely, that it’s always a nice surprise when it drops in. That’s so much better than spoiling us with it, which would have been so easy.

I chose the 1:06 mark because that’s the 2nd time you hear it, you start to wonder if it was a one off.

It could be the intro, the drum drop, the drum break, the drum solo, the bass hit, the sample, the interlude, the build, the peak, the breakdown, the loop, the skit, the extro... the best part of the song baby!
