Nicolas Jaar is already known worldwide as a top DJ, already has dozens of universally acclaimed releases (including singles, remixes, edits, EPs, a collaborative project and an album), runs a successful (and exceptional) music label, which is part of an interdisciplinary production house that he also co-founded.

It's made me go back and explore the roots of house and discover the intricacies of what may seem rather minimal and repetitive to some. Eliphino's new & beautifully complex EP, More Than Me, is out on limited edition vinyl, Oct. 31st on SomeThinkSounds. Peep the digital-only pre-release teaser track below.

(Shouts to the homie SV4 for learning me.)
