A Complete Journey Through a Classic – Revisited, Expanded, and Reimagined

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:
