    JAZZANOVA SUPERNOVA

    Jazzanova are a Berlin-based producer collective, consisting of the Jazzanova DJ-team (Jurgen von Knoblauch, Alexander Barck, Claas Brieler), Extended Spirit (Axel Reinemer & Stefan Leisering) and Kosma (Rosko Kretschmann). They are heavily into deep jazz and modern beats, which leads their music to a stunning fusion of retro and new sounds. They create an individual melodic and percussion-orientated style, echoing house, d&b, brazil, latin, funk and boogie.The aim for their productions and the DJ sets is, while oscillating between the different styles, to get the audience involved into the whole musical spectrum of that fusion. Get intoxicated and seduced by the uptempo massive percussive samba of "Caravelle" or the fast-pace cut-and-paste digital dynamics of remixes such Ian Pooley's "What's My Number" or Incognito's "Get Into My Groove".

    The tracks are so in-demand that they are already club-classics played by Gilles Peterson, Patrick Forge, Ben Wilcox, Rainer Truby, the Compost crew, Kruder & Dorfmeister and of course by the Jazzanova DJ-team on dubplates! "Caravelle" was the most favourite tune of Ashley Beedle in 1998! The Jazzanova EP is also listed no.1 in Gilles Petersen's and others personal charts in Straight No Chaser. On the chart of 100 best singles in 1998 in the magazin "Muzik" is Jazzanova's "Caravelle" number 69, and Jazzanova's Marshmellow-remix is number 19! This EP is the first collaboration between the Jazzanova and Compost Records, who teamed up as a new label Jazzanova-Compost Records (JCR). The collaboration between Jazzanova and Compost will guarantee the finest collection of current jazz impressions flavoured with unique and refreshing vibes and beats from the latest club sounds.

    LOVE LEE TENDER

    Our previous event on 1 April 2000 with Tim Love Lee of Tummy Touch rubbed the crowd in all the right places... Coming in like MC Lyte, Tim rocked the party that rocked the body, mixing in the rough with the smooth and taking everyone right along with him. His timing was perfect, moving the crowd with every beat and bassline. His blonde locks and baby blue eyes mesmerized the ladies, keeping his sleazy don juan reputation intact! ;) The track that truly lifted us all up was 12Tree's massive version of Light My Fire - if that doesn't get you going, nothing will.

    The Intrafunk site has been updated quite a bit, with new charts and realaudio streams, including a mix from Tim Love Lee. Expect more additions in the near future - the Jazzanova gig will probably be recorded and broadcasted online at a later date. In the meantime, don't hesitate to contact us with feedback.
