About Jazzanova

Following the release of 1997's "Fedime's Flight," an exquisitely layered production that had more in common with dancefloor jazz-funk truffles by Azymuth and Lonnie Liston Smith than anything else contemporary DJs and producers were doing at the time, dance music fans understood that Berlin's Jazzanova were something new entirely. Since then they have recombined an encyclopedic multitude of inspirations, consequently impacting underground club scenes across the globe. Among the collective's major releases are 1997's In Between (2002), Of All the Things (2008), and The Pool (2018), complex albums blending programming and live instrumentation with contributions from an array of singers and rappers. They've remixed dozens of tracks, toured extensively as performers and DJs, and have operated the JCR and Sonar Kollektiv labels -- outlets for extracurricular releases and works from like-minded peers. In 2022, they issued Strata Records: The Sound of Detroit -- Reimagined by Jazzanova, wherein they reworked and reinterpreted standout moments from the label's heralded catalog.
