Nicolas Jaar ha annunciato la chiusura del servizio di sottoscrizione della Other People, meccanismo attraverso il quale ogni domenica, al prezzo di 10$ al mese, i sottoscrittori ricevevano nuova musica. Contestualmente, ha lanciato un misterioso “online radio network” che permette agli ascoltatori di muoversi in multipli di tre tra i canali 0 e 333 –lo stesso Jaar raccomanda i canali 33, 108, 195, 225, 243, 324 e 333 che definisce “a good place to end.”
Non è ancora chiaro, o comunque ufficiale, cosa ci sia dietro, ma sono in molti ad auspicare che si tratti di una strategia promozionale per lanciare il nuovo album, Sirens.
Qui la dichiarazione per intero.
“Dear Opies,
First, I want to thank you for your amazing support over the past 3 years, you have allowed us to experiment and grow. But most importantly, you’ve sustained a space for dozens of young artists from all over the world to begin or continue their paths.
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
As some of you may have noticed, we have stopped our monthly subscription. There are two reasons behind this decision. First of all, I will be playing live again and unable to be fully present on a week to week basis. But it’s also a financial decision: every release was a labour of love, and I took up DJing the last couple of years in part to finance the label. We will now concentrate on a much smaller batch of yearly releases starting in 2017.
Until then, the site will mutate into www.other-people.network (Chrome preferred). I will let you guys discover what this is on your own but all I’ll say is that channels 324, 195, 108, 243, 225, 33 would be good places to start. And channel 333 will be a good place to end. Okay that’s all, see you on the road.
Love,
N”
