Beats, Bites & Öxle
Posted by admin on December 24th, 2007Happy Holidays everyone!
One of my favorite Berlin based music producer/group Jazzanova and their record company Sonar Kollektiv has a new collaborative compilation CD with Rainer Trüby (Trüby Trio) this holiday season. The idea behind this record, titled Beats Bites & Öxle, is to pair music with wine and food. The CD is available online as a bundle with a wineguide and a case of the finest German wine selected by Jazzanova and Rainer Truby.
Pairing wine with music has been around a long time, but I’ve never really see anyone pairing wine with urban sounding tunes like this compilation. You can expect to hear a wide range of genres from jazz to soul to house, this is definitely worth checking out.
Sonar Kollektiv is in Berlin so you can’t purchase wines from their site, but if you are interested in the tunes you can purchase the music via mp3. This record is a great way to get a taste of what the hipsters over in Europe are listening to with their wine.

I’m a huge Jazzanova fan and appreciate the update on the album as I was unaware. I’m a particular fan of Jazzanova “remixed” 2003 and their Blue Note Trip album. I was lucky enough to visit Paris this year and the “music and wine” scene is definitely immersed in this genere.

Nice article! Grapecraft (http://www.grapecraft.com/grapecraft/page/music.jsp) is an advocate of wine and music as well. These guys love their dirt and are master wine-makers.
