I have to agree with all of you. They were the real thing of '99. There are
more brilliant remixes of them: the ones of Har-You Percussion Group and the
Soul Bossa Trio (from Japan) I love the best. There are some remixes which
are quite boring (but only comparing with their other mixes).

Their first LP will be released this autumn. As far as I know they have to
be working on that right now, because they don't make further remixes in the
near future. It's also worth looking for their side-projects' works:
Extended Spirit and Kosma. They are different, but also quality music.

He was probably Jurgen von Knoblauch, one of the three Jazzanova-djs. You
can hear him play here:
