‘Ines’ is a Nicolas Jaar compilation through his Clown and Sunset label, featuring himself alongside fledgling producers Nikita Quasim and Soul Keita.
The full-length follows two mini-compilations on Clown and Sunset, both of which exclusively showcase the aforementioned three artists. Much like Jaar, Soul Keita and Quasim are unusually young producers: the former was 17 year old, the latter 20 when this was released in 2010.  Musically, Soul Keita limits himself to Ethiopian traditional instruments and an 808 drum machine. As for Quasim, her interest in music composition supposedly began at the age of 11, when she made a field recording of various sounds from around her house as a birthday present to her mother.Ines features ten new productions in total from the trio of artists, including one that shoes all three collaborating for the first time as the Clown n’ Sunset Collective-Resident Advisor
