Some reasons to check out Beyondjazz vol. 3

Yes yes yes. It’s out and about, the third volume of tracks Lennart, Creaminal and me selected from our Beyondjazz members and friends. Out for two weeks now, in fact …
It’s been quite a long ride from the decision to compile another volume till putting the webshop online; Lots of emailing, the mastering, doing the promotion and creating a digital download shop. Now, it’s up to you to judge … and hopefully enjoy.
For me it has been definitely worth it. I’m glad I could help bringing the young cats on our cd to a small but dedicated audience.

So far for the intro text, here’s the shameless “self promotion” …

“Awesome sampler! Well done mate. Tight work!” – Ricardinho (UK)

“I’m listening your BJ 3 right now and I’m blown away by Joash. It is not happening often I’m blown by somebody. Tell me more about the track. I need to to know … Really …” – Philarmonix (Metronomic Family, DE)

“Thanx so much for Beyondjazz vol. 3 … Excellent collection of quality future grooves! Will certainly be giving this a good ol bashing at my session! 10/10!” – Bruce Q (Liquid Fusion Music, UK)

“Honestly, this is better than certain future jazz (ahem) comps have been in recent years. I like. My faves are Montreal, Mirandolina, and My Crazy Vein. I’ll probably end up playing My Crazy Vein the most when I DJ. Mirandolina will also get some action. Glad to hear some new broken beat, too. Where’s the electro?. Just kidding.” – Iguassu

“Hey guys, thanks for the download! Amazing compilation! I will chart and play this one out..Congrats!” – Osunlade (Yoruba Records, GR)
