The new guard is fully upon us. With Jamie Jones taking over the top spot of RA's 2011 DJ poll, it only seems right that Nicolas Jaar would be honored by RA readers as the finest live. Jaar's live show doesn't lean on pyrotechnics or bleeding-edge technology. He simply played really good songs really well. Whether that meant with his live band or performing solo, the focus was on transforming the club space into a place where dynamics ruled, charisma mattered and the tyranny of the constant kick drum fell away. Like Plastikman last year, Nicolas Jaar proved that you don't need to rock a crowd non-stop to win fans—and once again showcased that substance is just as important as a bit of style.
