'I can't deny it: Fabian Giannattasio (aka Jazzy Eyewear) is quietly pouring the foundation for a new audio empire down in Miami. No label that I know of releases material that drags a fingertip through so many genres (or maintains such high credibility while doing so)' 
Terry Matthew / 5 Mag - Chicago

'Perhaps you haven't heard of DJ-producer Fabian Giannattasio, AKA Jazzy Eyewear. But if he's off the trendy nightlife radar, it's only because he's been busy as hell releasing some of the finest house music to come out of Miami in the last decade. And in addition to Jazzy Eyewear's own work, So Sound boasts a formidable artist roster including major international heavyweights like Manuel Tur, Inland Knights, DJ Rasoul, Autodeep, Toomy Disco & Les Loups.
