Sonar Kollektiv has come up once again with a very special treat: The last single by Jazzanova, „Now There Is We“ (SK271, RD: 07.02.2014) will not be adjusted by a few selected DJs/producers for dance floor functionality but is re-interpreted by a veritable armada, by a whopping seven different remixers in eight absolutely varying reworks of all kinds of musical styles and genres.

Since Alex Barck is co-producing ComixXx debut album for Sonar Kollektiv, the two of them could get also a work on „Now There Is We“. They imprint it almost exactly with the same sound once can expect on ComixXx forthcoming LP: ultra poppy club music in a hyper modern fashion and mode. With his remix the pianist Arnord Kasar (whose new album just has been released on Sonar Kollektiv) creates a hybrid of Neue Musik and techno, which has to be regarded almost as a masterpiece. This is the New Berlin Radicalism we know from Rhythm & Sound or Henrik Schwarz. A tiny bit more conventional approach is applied by Stee Downes (who also has a new album on Sonar Kollektiv in the pipeline) by sweeping with a forceful deep house remix over the dance floor. In a similar direction goes the “Deep Remix” by Japanese producer  and sound designer  Kuniyuki Takahashi. His “Percussion Remix” though, is an impelling jazz piano accompanied track which would even bring tears to the late Frankie Knuckle's eyes. A completely different approach is applied by Mano Arriba (Spanish for „Hands up!“): Under his direction the song mutates to become a carnival-compliant salsa rhythm. Absolutely striking! Funk DJ and beat digger Yosuke Tominaga on the other hand, shovels tons of dirt into the mix and adds a strumming electric guitar to the newly programmed beat. And all of a sudden Jazzanova sounds like The Roots.

The eighth and last remix broadens the musical spectrum by another genre. Takahiro Uchibori, aka Metome, from Kansai is a contemporary broken beats deputy and is a true master of breaking down a rhythm to such an extent where it becomes an alienated cipher. A track that doesn't fit anywhere, but works everywhere.

Eight totally different remixes of one single song. Each on it's own and all of them combined display effectively what is all hidden in “Now There Is We” and how widely varied the possibilities of its interpretations are. The last four remixes of this digital release will be available shortly on a special 12” vinyl release in collaboration with Especial Records (Kyoto Jazz Massive member Yoshihiro Okino's label).

All Good Remixes Come In Threes - We proudly present the three winners of the Jazzanova Remix Contest

As the excellent works of the three winners of Jazzanova’s Remix Contest show, today’s remixers don’t limit themselves to fooling a bit around with the buttons, knobs, and controllers of their soundboards. All three impressed us with their very unique musical approaches that paid due respect to Jazzanova’s original vesion of “I Can See” while at the same time heading into a completely different direction stylistically, ranging from deep house via jazz to a mix of country, soul, and reggae. Actually, two of the three winning contributions are rather instrumental reworks than remixes in the traditional sense.

“Since so many astoshingly good remixes had been submitted, it was no easy task for us to come to a final decision,” says Jazzanova’s Jürgen von Knoblauch . “We dicussed the matter over and over again and finally agreed on three winners who had very different approaches and represented the stylistic variety of all submitted remixes. However, we had to draw the lucky winner of  Ableton’s software package and Soundcloud’s premium membership. Once again, we would like to thank all the remixers/producers who participated in our remix contest and submitted their excellent works.”

All three winners will be offered a digital release on Jazzanova’s label Sonar Kollektiv. So let us briefly introduce you to these lucky guys:

The only winner which made a remix in the more traditional sense was the DJ/producer collective D.Construction (Bailey a.k.a. Filou - producer & deep house DJ / Chocolate - producer & technical mastermind / Six Sigma - producer & tech house DJ) from Halle/Saxony-Anhalt, which specializes in deep house, jazz, and electronic music. With their relaxed “D.Construction Reconstruction” of Jazzanova’s “I Can See” they made it to the Top 3.

Berlin-based trio Ye:Solar featuring e-piano player Random Rhodes, double-bassist Steve Bass, and drummer Groovemaster7 took a completely different approach. The band once started as an almost classic jazz trio but soon also experimented with electronic sounds and samples of their own recordings. Today, their tracks and remixes are included in the playlist of renowned international DJs such as Nicola Conte (Italy), Kid Loco (Paris, France), and Drumagick (São Paulo, Brazil). With their irresistibly swinging yet still pretty progressive rework of “I Can See” Ye:Solar certainly delivered the most jazzy contribution to this remix contest.

But the biggest surprise was the contribution by a Lithuanian production team none of us had ever heard of before. Due to lack of better information and a mistake made during the registration process they were listed as mstr4 (The team’s name, however, is actually VaiTaiTau). Only when they made it to the top 10 list, VaiTaiTau sent a mail to our partner Soundcloud: “Hello, we are very happy that our version is in the top 10.  But when we were uploading the file I didn’t name it correctly. It’s listed as ‘Jazzanova - I Can See mstr4’.  However, we call ourselves VaiTaiTau. So our remix should be listed as ‘Jazzanova - I Can See (VaiTaiTau Remix)’. Hope this is not a big problem and you’re still able to fix the name.” What caught our ear was the brilliant guitar playing of Eduardas Armonas who sounds as if he had a couple of lessons from the likes of Bill Frisell, John Scofield, and Ernest Ranglin. We were equally impressed by the ensemble’s stylistic range which includes elements of country music, soul, jazz, and reggae. For their rework VaiTaiTau’s members Alvydas Maciulskas, Leonas Somovas, Gediminas Andriskevicius, and Aurimas Rimeikis teamed up with guitarist Eduardas Armonas, bassist Domas Aleksa, drummer Vytis Vainilaitis, and guiro player Liutauras Janusaitis. By drawing lots Jazzanova picked VaiTaiTau as the winner of Ableton’s Live 7 software and a one-year premium membership at Soundcloud.

Last but not least, JazzEcho as well as their partners from Ableton and Soundcloud would like to congratulate all three winners and thank all the other participants in the contest for their incredibly creative input.
