To conclude their year-long celebration of In Between, Jazzanova and Sonar Kollektiv proudly present the ultimate tribute to their landmark debut album: 'In Between (Deluxe Edition)'. This expansive collection captures the full legacy, creative impact, and ongoing evolution of a record that helped shape the sound of nu-jazz, broken beat, and future soul.
Originally released in 2002, 'In Between' redefined the possibilities of electronic jazz, blending intricate sampling with live instrumentation and featuring vocalists such as Clara Hill, Vikter Duplaix, Capitol A, and Ursula Rucker. Two decades later, its influence still resonates. The Deluxe Edition offers the most comprehensive exploration of this pivotal era in Jazzanova’s history—spanning nearly 70 tracks across five chapters...
1. In Between (Original Album)
The timeless 2002 debut that started it all—featuring iconic songs like No Use, Another New Day, Keep Falling, and Soon. A landmark blend of jazz, broken beat, soul, and electronic innovation. Described by PopMatters as “the essence and inexorable rise of the European nu-jazz sound” and hailed by AllMusic as “a work of real beauty” that elevated club culture with intricate musicality, In Between helped usher underground sounds into new spaces, far beyond smoky basements and coffee shops.
2. In Between Revisited: Jazzanova Live - see the YATM review HERE
Recorded live at Little Big Beat Studios in 2024, this session features the Jazzanova Live Band alongside guests Wayne Snow, Clara Hill, and HEEN. Together, they reimagine the album’s sample-heavy origins with full-band energy and deep musicianship, offering a vibrant new perspective on the original material.
3. In Between (Remixes) - see the YATM review HERE
The 2025 remix compilation brings together producers from around the globe to reinterpret In Between through fresh, forward-looking lenses. Featuring standout remixes by Jacana People, Eric Hilton, Crackazat, Satin Jackets, Kid Fonque, Groove Chronicles, The KBCS, DJ Slowz, Nautilus, Magro, and Paskal & Urban Absolutes, this chapter bridges generations and genres— from deep house and nu-disco to future jazz and Afro-tinged electronica.
4. Singles & Rarities Collection (Pre-In Between)
A curated selection of Jazzanova’s formative works leading up to In Between —including sought-after tracks like Fedime’s Flight, Atabaque, Bohemian Sunset, Caravelle, Coffee Talk, Le Jardin Secret, and That Night (Original Single Version). These early gems showcase the group’s deep roots in jazz, house, and Afro-Latin rhythms.
5. Remixed (2003 Album)
The legendary 2003 remix album returns, gathering celebrated reworks from that era by artists such as Madlib, Kyoto Jazz Massive, Bugz in the Attic, King Britt, Vikter Duplaix, DJ DSL, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Domu, Moonstarr, Stereolab, and more. A defining snapshot of early 2000s nu-jazz and broken beat culture.
In Between (Deluxe Edition) is more than a retrospective—it’s a deep-dive anthology celebrating Jazzanova’s expansive sonic universe, their constant reinvention, and their enduring impact on global club and jazz culture. This is In Between—past, present, and future—assembled for the first time in its entirety.

The intro to 'That Night' really sums up the evolution of the whole project from the original release to the 4 additional formations: you can recreate the excitement of the times and the 12" remixes that litterally lit up Soho (and the rest of the known) Record Shop world. Vikter Duplaix, Stereolad or Madlib - this is generational!
Not cheap, but it'd make someone a very nice seasonal present.
