De-Phazz

De-Phazz is a German downtempo and jazz ensemble founded in 1997, whose music integrates modern turntablism and elements of Latin, soul, trip hop and drum and bass into a lounge music sound. De-Phazz is led by Pit Baumgartner, a German producer who has varied the lineup of band members for every new album. However, some regular members are Barbara Lahr, Karl Frierson and Pat Appleton. Discoverer and namesake of De-Phazz was Haluk Soyoğlu, who also released the first albums on Mole and later on founded Phazz-a-delic New Format Recordings as innovative music label together with Pit Baumgartner.
