History

International attention excited Jazzanova 1997 with the up-tempo jazz -Brasil - number " Fedime 's Flight ". Hub for the sound cosmos of Jazzanova is the Club " Delicious Doughnuts " in Berlin. This laid the mid 90s Alexander Barck, Claas and Jürgen von Knoblauch Brieler on their mix of jazz, Latin and House. As a seasoned big-city DJs they wanted to remix the trend, and to self-publish, not to run after. Together with the hip- hop producers Rosko Kretschmann ( Kosma ) they made first own tracks for the " Delicious Doughnuts " compilations. With the second edition of the Club sampler Kretschmann instructed his friends Axel Reinemer and Stefan Leisenring, who published together under the pseudonyms "Extended Spirit" and " Pathless ". However, since the appearance of the title jointly produced was endangered, founded the disc jockeys ado own label ( Jazzanova Records) and integrated the three producers in the band and give their child the name of Jazzanova.

This was followed by international DJ Jobs and remixes for Marsh Mellow, Visit Venus, Karma, UFO, 4 Hero and Ian Pooley. These were published on various samplers and a first EP. Own compilations and the establishment of the sonar collective rounded off the range. According Claas Jazzanova used at the time as " a source of inspiration many jazz records, Brasil plates, Latin boards, boogie, soul, folk, soundtracks, and rock -heavy, experimental fusion titles from the 70s. We try to put into formats that are used today: House, Drum and Bass, Jungle, Trip Hop, Nu Jazz, Hip Hop and so on. "
