German DJ/producer collective from Berlin known for nu-jazz, downtempo and remix work, with releases and compilations praised and criticized in equal measure.

Associated with the Sonar Kollektiv label; noted for remix compilations and contributions to the nu-jazz/downtempo scene.

Two DeBaser reviews present opposing views: 'The Remixes 2002-2005' is praised for groove and tasteful reinterpretations. 'In Between' is lambasted as sterile, overly packaged lounge-pop with weak musical substance. Overall reception shown here is polarized.

For:Listeners of nu-jazz, downtempo and electronic remixes; DJs and readers interested in remix compilations and lounge criticism.

 At first glance, it seems like you're faced with a "clever" album, with trendy sounds, the kind you listen to in a hip little spot during happy hour, between an olive and a caipiroska.

 They dared to name themselves Jazzanova though of Jazz nothing appeared to emanate from the chromed disc nor anything to be defined as 'new' but mere and useless songs sterilely syncopated, mostly false and vile that the divine anguish took me by the hand and never more abandoned me.
