Artists

Nicola Conte

Italian DJ / producer Nicola Conte's loungey brand of acid jazz relies extensively on bossa nova, but is also heavily influenced by the swinging soundtracks of Italian films in the '60s and '70s, plus touches of ethnic music and easy listening kitsch reminiscent of Japan's Pizzicato Five.

Nighthawks

Taking their name from a famous painting by Edward Hopper, the atmospheric jazz duo Nighthawks is comprised of bassist Dal Martino and trumpeter Reiner Winterschladen.

Nils Landgren Funk Unit

1992 saw the first performances and recording of the Nils Landgren “Unit”. The final breakthrough beyond Scandinavia came first in 1994: it was at the Jazz Baltica Festival at Salzau in Germany that the “Unit” became the “Funk Unit”.

Norah Jones

Norah Jones slides between the spaces separating jazz, pop, country and rock, cultivating a sophisticated, deceptively mellow style that has proven to be surprisingly adaptable and enduring.

Only Child

Producer Justin Crawford's music experience started as a member of the band the New Fast Automatic Daffodils.

Parov Stelar

Parov Stelar aka Marcus Füreder is a musician who lives and works in Linz, Austria. He performs with his band — the Parov Stelar Band — and as a DJ worldwide. Parov Stelar is the head of Etage Noir Recordings.

Peace Orchestra

Phat Phunktion

Phat Phunktion, a group of University of Wisconsin-Madison music students formed in 1996, have built a loyal following of listeners throughout the United States and around the world. A nine-piece tour de force that combines the polish of top 40 with the smooth feeling of 60’s soul and the raw groove of 70’s funk, Phat Phunktion is today one of the most talked about bands in the Midwest.
