DARKSIDE is an electronic music project led by Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington, two jazz-trained musicians from New York City. Their eponymous debut album was released in 2013 and was met with praise from critics for its atmospheric blend of experimental jazz, hip hop, and electronica. They also collaborated with members of the band Grizzly Bear on the album. Darkside's live performances are known for their occasionally improvised sections and incorporation of light shows and visuals. Following the success of their debut album, Darkside toured extensively throughout 2013 and 2014, performing at various festivals and venues around the world. In 2016, they released their second album, Psychic, to further acclaim from critics with indie outlets praising its blend of avant-garde electronica and Krautrock-influenced grooves. They also returned to the festival circuit, playing alongside some of the biggest names in modern electronic music.
