The Clown & Sunset label ended with the Angst EP from Valentin Stip. Nicolas Jaar's new label Other People releases its first piece called Trust: a compilation featuring 12 artists, including eight exclusive debut releases. There's no huge leap of imagination needed to bridge the two labels; there's still a very mannered, sober quality to the gear on offer here, ranging from measuredly wistful desert ambient pop and chamber-like solo guitar and electronic pieces (thanks to Mssrs Pistol and Terranova) to the glassy, fractured IDM-pop of Benjha's 'Gravity' and slompy, breezy slo-mo grooves from Acid Pauli and Valentin Stip. And as if to reinforce the gnat's whisker-width of difference between the two, the highlights feature Nicolas Jaar himself with the crafty tech-house shimmy of 'Break My Love' and in the trip-hop triplets and atmospheric vocals of Dave Harrington's remix for Jaar's Why Didn't You Save Me'. Though not much else is known about the venture, Jaar says it will be a "serial label." He adds: "Like a magazine, we deliver new content each week. Every Sunday, our members receive a new issue." Trust will be released on vinyl and CD formats.
