| | 200 releases is a great achievement for any indie label. To mark | |
| | this respectable milestone in the catalogue of their Sonar | |
| | Kollektiv label, JAZZANOVA have put together another of their | |
| | pristine compilations. Far from adhering to any kind of obvious | |
| | "best of" format, they have chosen to include almost exclusively | |
| | tracks from the last year of Sonar's output. And SK200 is a | |
| | gloriously eclectic compilation showing that after more then 10 | |
| | year on the scene, the label is still getting better with every | |
| | release. SOULPHICTION aka JACKMATE aka Stuttgart man MICHEL | |
| | BAUMANN gets the ball rolling with Sun Children taken from his | |
| | fresh new album Do You Overstand on Sonar Kollektiv | |
| | (SK180CD/elektrish). As well as having had releases on Sonar | |
| | Kollektiv and his own labels Philpot and Phil E, SOULPHICTION has | |
| | also put stuff out on Perlon, Playhouse, Moon Harbour, | |
| | Liebe/Detail and Freude am Tanzen and has remixed DJ KOZE, | |
| | INTERNATIONAL PONY, DAPAYK & PADBERG, MOVE D, SOLOMUN and EVA BE | |
| | amongst others. Next up is MunichÆs CHRISTIAN PROMMER with his | |
| | cover of the DAFTPUNK classic Around The World. PROMMER is a | |
| | member of FAUNA FLASH with his friend and now SK label-mate | |
| | ROLAND APPEL, part of the famous TR▄BY TRIO also with ROLAND | |
| | APPEL and RAINER TR▄BY, and VOOM:VOOM alongside PETER KRUDER. He | |
| | has released many albums and a multitude of 12ôs and had remixes | |
| | on labels such as Compost Records, G Stone Recordings and !K7. | |
| | Around The World is taken from his acclaimed new record Christian | |
| | Prommer's Drummlesson Vol. 1 (SK162CD/jazzclub). CHRISTIAN has | |
| | successfully turned the DAFT PUNKÆs electronic monster-hit into a | |
| | freaked-out piece of Jazz. The lovely latino-pop number Like A | |
| | Rainy Night is taken from the recently re-issued folk album | |
| | Listen Of by Brazilian singer-songwriter PAUL BRYAN aka S╔RGIO | |
| | S┴. Originally released in 1973 on the label Top Tape in Brazil, | |
| | JAZZANOVA member JUERGEN VON KNOBLAUCH found the LP while record | |
| | digging in Berlin 9 years ago. He played it to the rest of the | |
| | collective and they all instantly fell for it. So this re-release | |
| | is a gift to all those, who have been looking for it in vain up | |
| | to now. Like A Rainy Night is one of the highlights from this | |
| | very collectable album which sold more than 150 000 copies in | |
| | Brazil alone! From old Brazilian pop to the cutting edge of new | |
| | New Zealand reggae. Since forming over 10 years ago, 8 piece | |
| | roots/dub/funk outfit THE BLACK SEEDS have secured their status | |
| | as one of New ZealandÆs premier groups. They exposed their | |
| | pacific feel good vibe, reggified and sunkissed grooves | |
| | internationally with Into The Dojo released in 2007 on Sonar | |
| | Kollektiv. And Take You Chances is taken from their new album | |
| | Solid Ground on DANIEL BEST's Sonar Kollektiv sub-label Best | |
| | Seven (SBCD0011/demroots). From NZ we get a bit closer to SK home | |
| | and a track by THIEF, a collaboration between Berlin | |
| | singer-songwriter SASCHA GOTTSCHALK and 2 members of JAZZANOVA: | |
| | STEFAN LEISERING and AXEL REINEMER (together EXTENDED SPIRIT). | |
| | The charming song Somewhere by THIEF is taken from their 2007 | |
| | album Sunchild (SK135). The afore mentioned ROLAND APPEL is not | |
| | only know for his work with CHRISTIAN PROMMER. His track Dark | |
| | Soldier was the secret hit at the 2007 Miami Winter Music | |
| | Conference and found its way into the bags and the charts of the | |
| | biggest DJs in the world such as DJ HELL, LAURENT GARNIER, PETE | |
| | TONG, TIEFSCHWARZ, MICHAEL MAYER, EWAN PEARSON, DIXON, GILLES | |
| | PETERSON, DJ T among others. Even UKÆs most important music | |
| | magazines like Mixmag, Fact and I-DJ acclaimed it and made it | |
| | track of the month last summer! Inner Soul (slow version) is the | |
| | opening track on ROLAND APPEL's album Talk To Your Angel that | |
| | came out earlier this year on SK (SK188CD). ROLAND APPEL is | |
| | followed by another JAZZANOVA related project, SEASON & SYGAIRE, | |
| | with their previously unreleased track Cowboys & Angels feat. | |
| | RANDOLPH MATTHEWS on the mic. SYGAIRE is actually 1/6th | |
| | JAZZANOVA, namely ROSKOW, while SEASON is Sonar Kollektiv brother | |
| | in arms DIRK RUMPFF who's OffTrack internet radio show was in the | |
| | inspiration for one of the ...Broadcasting mix CDs on SK. SEASON | |
| | & SYGAIRE had another song also feat. the vocal talents of | |
| | RANDOLPH MATTHEWS, Open To Love, included on the GILLES PETERSON | |
| | comp. In The House (Defected Rec). Of course, Sonar Kollektiv's | |
| | reach goes way beyond Berlin although that's where the label is | |
| | based, as the signing of so many international acts goes to show. | |
| | We have already heard from Brazil and New Zealand and now we hear | |
| | the freshest sounds coming from Japan. QUASIMODE is a 4 piece | |
| | Jazz band from Tokyo who formed in 2002 since which time they | |
| | have already gained strong support in their native land. They | |
| | have had releases on Freestyle Records, Inpartment and Columbia | |
| | and now thanks to Sonar Kollektiv they are getting a chance to do | |
| | their thing on the European and global scene. Object In The | |
| | Mirror feat. one of the world's greatest jazz vocalists CARMEN | |
| | LUNDY is appears on QUASIMODE's new LP The Land Of Freedom | |
| | (SK177CD/jazzclub). QUASIMODE already had a track on JAZZANOVA's | |
| | compilation Neujazz which came out on Sonar Kollektiv in 2008 | |
| | (SK174CD/jazzclub) and their inclusion on SK200 secures their | |
| | place as SK favorites. From Tokyo to London and 2 BANKS OF 4, the | |
| | producer duo ROBERT GALLAGHER (aka EARL ZINGER) & DILIP HARRIS | |
| | (aka DEMUS). ZINGER was a former member of nu-jazz collective | |
| | GALLIANO, who rode the wave of GILLES PETERSONs wonderful label | |
| | TalkinÆ Loud in the 90s, and more recently the force behind the | |
| | many moods of EARL ZINGER, whose reggae rockers cover of BLUR's | |
| | Song Two was an underground hit on his own Red Egyptian label. | |
| | DEMUS is a very respected London producer whose work includes the | |
| | YOUNG DISCIPLES debut LP, IG CULTURE, ZERO 7 and founding the | |
| | CO-OP club. As a duo, they have been remixed by A-class music | |
| | producers such as HERBERT and DERRICK L. CARTER. The sun-soaked | |
| | track Wake me 5.30 is taken from 2 BANKS OF 4's long-awaited 3rd | |
| | album Junkyard Gods (SK182CD/jazzclub). Another recent addition | |
| | to Sonar Kollektiv is LARS BARTKUHN who had a great electronic | |
| | 12", Dimensions, earlier in 2008. His new trackfor the SK200 | |
| | compilation, Prayer / Dance Into The Sun, is a delicious acoustic | |
| | instrumental. LARS allows the tune to flow seemlessly from the | |
| | downbeat opening Prayer into a truly uplifting latin-pop melody, | |
| | Dance Into The Sun. YE:SOL┴R are Berlin's freshest trio at the | |
| | moment. Their track Egg Sample originally came out in 2004 as a | |
| | 12" on Vinyl Vibes Records (VV02) and has become a massive hit | |
| | since then, with rave reviews and wall-to-wall radio play. The | |
| | first lady of dub, electro and house, EVA BE, brought out her | |
| | remix a year later on Vinyl Vibes. This special live version of | |
| | this timeless classic is exclusive to SK200. From one leading | |
| | female figure of Sonar Kollektiv to another: CLARA HILL. She has | |
| | an impressive discography including 3 critically acclaimed | |
| | full-length albums Restless Times (SK012CD), All I Can Provide | |
| | (SK099CD) and Folkwaves plus many 12ôs featuring the | |
| | crΦme-de-la-crΦme of Electronic and Jazz knob twidlers such as | |
| | JAZZANOVA, ATJAZZ, CHARLES WEBSTER, SLOPE and KING BRITT. The | |
| | delightfully sublime Ocean Queen is taken from said album Clara | |
| | Hill's Folkwaves. Besides CLARA HILL, BENNY SINGS is another of | |
| | the finest song-writers on the SK artists roster. His no-frills | |
| | jazz-pop songs presented in a sunny west coast easy-listening | |
| | vibe are reminiscent of BURT BACHARACH, SUPERTRAMP or even STEELY | |
| | DAN. The song included here, For Your Love, is taken from his | |
| | 2007 album Benny ...at home (SK148CD/illicity) on which the | |
| | Dutchman return to his hip-hop roots and adopt a much more urban | |
| | sound than previous releases. Y que se sepa by the ORCHESTRA LOS | |
| | VAN VAN is taken from another exceptional recent JAZZANOVA | |
| | compilation - Nueva Vision: Latin Jazz From The Cuban Label Egrem | |
| | (SK166CD/jazzclub) which presents some of the finest in Cuban | |
| | music from the last century and includes great names from the | |
| | Cuban scene such as CHUCHO VALDES, OMARA PORTUONDO and BOBBY | |
| | CARCASSES to name but a few. ORCHESTRA LOS VAN VAN's funky Y que | |
| | se sepa is one of the many highlights on Nueva Vision. Another | |
| | New Zealand based project on SK200 is RECLOOSE with Catch A Leaf, | |
| | taken from his 3rd album PERFECT TIMING. RECLOOSE aka MATTHEW | |
| | CHICOINE has released on Planet E, K7!, Peacefrog, Playhouse and | |
| | Eskimo and is a regular member of CARL CRAIGÆs Innerzone | |
| | Orchestra. Catch A Leaf is a truly funky tune with the lush voice | |
| | of RACHEL FRASER on the mic. The penultimate track on this superb | |
| | compilation is the SONAR KOLLEKTIV ORCHESTRA's version of How To | |
| | Find Royal Jelly by THE LOST SCROLLS OF HAMARIC - a delicious | |
| | tune that was originally released in 2001 as a 7" single on Best | |
| | Seven (SB7004). It, like the rest of the album, is has a | |
| | gloriously warm and funky sound. SKO's repertoire is a cross | |
| | selection of tunes from the SK label back catalogue, the original | |
| | styles of which cover a wide range from deep house and broken | |
| | beats to reggae and experimental hip hop. The 15 piece band was | |
| | founded to mark the Sonar Kollektiv 10th birthday celebrations in | |
| | 2007 and under the leadership of VOLKER MEITZ recently released | |
| | an album Guaranteed Niceness (SK170/illicity). And bringing this | |
| | delightful compilation to a close is STEE DOWNES with a lovely | |
| | track What's wrong with groovin' taken from his soon to be | |
| | released album All In A Day (SK203CD/illicity). STEE's song | |
| | Destruction of Ourselves was already selected by JAZZANOVA to be | |
| | on the 5th edition of their highly successful compilation series | |
| | Secret Love earlier this year. Now, with a tune on SK200 and the | |
| | full length album coming soon it is clear that STEE DOWNES is the | |
| | latest edition to the ever growing Sonar Kollektiv. SK200 sees | |
| | JAZZANOVA hold true to their self-imposed policy of releasing | |
| | only "music far above and beyond average commercial standards". | |
| | Wether it's from old friends in the form of SOULPHICTION, THIEF, | |
| | CLARA HILL and BENNY SINGS, or new recruits such as QUASIMODE, | |
| | RECLOOSE and STEE DOWNES, Sonar Kollektiv never fails to deliver | |
| | the goods by bringing you the freshest talents around. As ever | |
| | this CD is expertly compiled (an art in itself!) by JAZZANOVA, | |
| | giving it just the right eclectic mix of style and a perfect | |
| | flow. | |
