Ever since the release of their debut album Psychic, DARKSIDE have been celebrated for the fascinating ways they blend electronic music with disco, prog rock, psychedelic pop, and funk in a way that is both experimental and organic.
The group, featuring multi-instrumentalist Dave Harrington, electronic producer Nicolás Jaar and drummer Tlacael Esparza, were one of the guest curators of Le Guess Who? 2024 and also performed live at the festival before the release of their newest album Nothing, out now via Matador. Le Guess Who? now releases the full concert film of their performance, featuring older favorites like Paper Trails next to new tracks like Hell Suite, Pt. 1 and Graucha Max.
