Spearheading tomorrow's sounds of Soul and Jazz, with lashings of Techno, Brazilian, and Afrobeat influences, Jazzanova have been bringing us the new for over a decade. It was 'Fedime's Flight' that first brought this collective of DJs and producers to the attention of UK tastemakers like Gilles Peterson. Since then, a slew of constantly surprising remixes for the likes of 4 Hero, Azymuth, and Ennio Morricone, placed them firmly on the map, and opened the floodgates for their brand of Jazz-influenced dance music. Meticulous producers with an incredible ear for drum break details, the sextet have neatly split into two teams of three - conquering dancefloors as DJs, while the producers stay home and cook up tasty dubplate treats. And Alex Barck is surely on top of this DJ game. This time assisted by fellow German Roland Appel (Sonar Kollektiv, Munich).
