Release Notes:
ItÆs about the space ôin betweenö and not about the known & static!
Sonar Kollektiv was founded in 1998 by Berlins internationally renowned
DJ and producerteam Jazzanova. The intention was to create an
independent record label and publisher connected to a worldwide
independent distribution network.
With more then 200 catalogue releases over the few last years, among
them well known artists like ┬me, Dixon, Wahoo, Forss, Micatone, Clara
Hill, Georg Levin, Nuspirit Helsinki, Azymuth, Fat Freddys Drop, Benny
Sings, Domu, Dimlite, Slope, Moonstarr, Robag Wruhme, Eva Be and of
course Jazzanova themselves (their compilation The Remixes 1997û2000
sold more than 150.000 copies worldwide!). Sonar Kollektiv can claim to
be one of the strongest and best-known German labels of our time,
furthermore Sonar Kollektiv runs the two sublabels; Best 7 which is
mainly devoted to dub sounds and Innervisions devoted to club and house.
Additionally the label has established two very successful compilation
series in the last years: Secret Love (part 3 scheduled for late 2006)
and à.mixing (part one with Jazzanova sold more then 30.000 copies
worldwide; part two is scheduled for 2006 with a surprise guest and part
three scheduled for 2007 featuring Gilles Peterson!)
Label heads Jazzanova are widely known as figure heads of a genre that
used to be labelled NuJazz, but it can hardly be described by the
limitations of words like New and Jazz today. Through their outstanding
work as DJs, artists and producers they have become forerunners in the
further development of this and many other genres. Helping to stretch
its borders while gradually incorporating various influences ranging
from dub to brazil, jazz to house; African music to downbeat and even
techno to minimal electronic music. Their openness to all kinds of
sounds and genres has helped them to be a part in some of the most
important musical developments of the last decade. Influencing a broad
range of well known international and national artists and creating a
truly contemporary sound.
While establishing the Jazzanova universe through their numerous
releases and their remix work for many well known artists such as
Masters at Work, Calexico, Common, Lenny Kravitz, 4 Hero, Incognito,
Ursula Rucker, Trⁿby Trio, Ian Pooley, MJ Cole, U.F.O. etc. Jazzanova
have formed with their label Sonar Kollektiv a platform to help to
further define their musical universe, illustrating the wide range of
music they are dedicated to. Not styles and genres, but rather the
relationship of those to each other is the driving force behind them
and the label. With this in mind itÆs logical that Jazzanova named
their first album In Between back in 2002, since their focus is indeed
the space ôin betweenö and not the known or static. This space û the
space between the genres, between acoustic and electronic, new and old,
club and home û the hybrid û this is Jazzanova and this is Sonar
Kollektiv !
