LASAL at MARULA - ALEXANDER BARCK (JAZZANOVA / Berlin)
Lasal at Arenys de Mar, is one of the finest Chiringuitos on the Catalan coast, with easily the best music policy. With a history stretching back to 1993 they have featured some of the best DJs on the funk, jazz, soul & hip-hop scene: Quantic, Vadim, Jimi Tenor, Seiji, Coldcut & The Herbaliser to name just a few.
Now the Lasal crew bring their expertise to the brand new Marula Café in the heart of Barcelona, a beautiful new venue with a fine sound system, run by and catering for genuine music lovers.
First off, Lasal present Alexander Barck, producer and DJ from Germany’s finest Nu-Jazz collective Jazzanova. Although they’ve been producing and remixing other artists since 1995, they only just released their second ‘official’ album last year, but it has been well worth the wait. “Of All The Things” (Verve / Sonar Kollektiv) is a beautifully deep and soulful record, with some excellent guest vocalists such as Jose James & Ben Westbeech.
In 2005, the legendary Blue Note jazz label invited Jazzanova to remix their favourites from their extensive back catalogue, which resulted in the much loved “Blue Note Trip” album.
So expect from Alexander Barck a DJ set brimming with soul and jazz, guaranteed to move your body & mind. Now if only some enterprising local promoter, would make a move to bring the full Jazzanova Live Band to Barcelona… then that would be another great day.
