Make sure your corset is laced up nice and tight ladies … Nicolas Jaar is coming to town.
The American-Chilean deep house guru and leader of the Clown & Sunset art house label is coming to get real funky with a special Art Basel Miami Beach week performance at Bardot on Thursday, December 6.
Our panties are already wet just thinking about it. But we’re hoping to get our hormones under control by the time Nico hits us in the face with his sexy, smooth grooves.

The fair-faced producer makes warm, slowed-down emotional tracks he calls “blue-wave,” incorporating many elements from the Chilean music that he grew up with and the minimal techno he’s come to appreciate. It all has a bit of a sensuous hollowness that jives enough to keep your shoulders bouncing but relaxes enough to confirm that it’s time for another drink.
His debut album, Space is Only Noise, got a lot of love from Pitchfork, Resident Advisor, Mixmag, and all sorts of other hipster dance music types. He toured the album with a full band, but the Basel show is sure to be a stripped-down, intimate experience.
Basically, after a fun-filled day of booze and cultural sensitivity, you’re going to want to get sexy in the back of the room with some stranger. And this is the best place to do it.
Nicolas Jaar. Presented by Young Hearts. Thursday, December 6. Bardot, 3456 N. Miami Ave., Miami. The show starts at 10 p.m. and tickets cost $27 to $40 plus fees via showclix.com. Ages 21 and up. Call 305-576-5570 or visit bardotmiami.com.
