Jazzanova are celebrating a decade thrusting forth music which has ignored trends in favour of their own agenda of musical depth and soul. The music gathered over one CD of highlights and another more floor-pointed outing mixed by Jazzanova glides effortlessly through styles including soulful vocals, reggae, NYC deep house and jazzy excursions. CD1 includes Forss, Micatone, Joe Dukie, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Benny Sings, Outline, Dimlite, Thief and Jazzanova themselves on the sublime Let Your Heart Be Free. Dukie and DJ Fitchie excel on the delicious reggae vamp of Midnight Marauder. CD2 is where the party really gets started with tracks old and new by the likes of Tokyo Black Star, Moonstarr, Solar System and Slope, winding up with the insidious [I Got] Somebody New by Georg Levin and Clara Hill.
