Jazzanova – In Between (Remixes)

Jazzanova – In Between (Remixes)
20 Years. 11 Remixes. A Reimagined Classic.

To continue the celebration of the 20th anniversary of In Between, Jazzanova and Sonar Kollektiv present a forward-looking reinterpretation of the original 2002 landmark release: In Between (Remixes) — a full-length remix compilation that breathes new life into the original LP’s iconic tracks.

In Between helped define the sound of nu-jazz, broken beat, and future soul. Now, over two decades later, a new generation of producers—alongside longtime collaborators—revisit the Jazzanova catalog with genre-bending approaches, fresh ears, and global perspectives.

The album features 11 brand-new remixes from a carefully curated lineup, including:
Jacana People, Eric Hilton (Thievery Corporation), The KBCS, Nautilus, DJ Slowz, Magro, Crackazat, Paskal & Urban Absolutes, Kid Fonque, Groove Chronicles, and Satin Jackets.

Each remix honors the spirit of In Between while reimagining it through a different lens—ranging from deep house, nu-disco, and broken beat to downtempo, jazz-funk, and future soul.

Highlights include:
• UK duo Jacana People open the collection with an expansive, atmospheric take on Another New Day, fusing ambient textures with club momentum.
• Eric Hilton of Thievery Corporation lends his cinematic dub aesthetic to No Use feat. Clara Hill, enveloping Clara’s vocals in a smoky, downtempo groove.
• Hamburg-based live soul collective The KBCS bring warmth and analog richness to The One-Tet feat. Capitol A, emphasizing energetic funk and organic instrumentation.
• Japanese trio Nautilus rework Mwela, Mwela (Here I Am) into a retro-futurist jazz-funk gem steeped in rare groove.
• DJ Slowz—Vietnam’s pioneering B-boy, break DJ, and global hip-hop ambassador—delivers a crate-digger’s dream of L.O.V.E. and You & I, blending raw energy and vinyl finesse with deep hip-hop roots.
• Berlin producer Magro reshapes Keep Falling feat. Ursula Rucker with glitchy drums and luminous textures that echo his signature future-jazz sound.
• Crackazat, the Bristol-born, Sweden-based multi-instrumentalist, transforms No Use into a euphoric house journey full of soul, groove, and intricate solos.
• Longtime Sonar Kollektiv affiliates Paskal & Urban Absolutes take That Night into deep house territory—sleek, emotional, and club-ready.
• Kid Fonque, the South African tastemaker behind Stay True Sounds, gives Another New Day an Afro-tinged groove that connects Berlin and Jo’burg in style.
• UK garage pioneer Groove Chronicles flips The One-Tet into a gritty, bass-heavy refix with classic broken step swing.
• Nu-disco maestro Satin Jackets reimagines No Use as a shimmering Balearic slow-burner—emotive, elegant, and full of sunset vibes.

In Between (Remixes) captures the musical diversity that has always defined Jazzanova’s universe. But it’s more than a nostalgic exercise—it’s a forward-facing celebration of the collective’s enduring influence.

Following the acclaimed In Between Revisited: Jazzanova Live, this release marks the second chapter in Jazzanova’s anniversary campaign.

But the journey doesn’t end here. Coming later this year, Jazzanova – In Between (Deluxe Edition) will bring everything full circle. This definitive collection will include the original 2002 album, the live reinterpretation, the brand-new remix compilation, the legendary 2003 remixed album, and a special Jazzanova singles collection featuring one-off tracks like That Night, Days To Come, Bohemian Sunset, and more.
