You can have a look at my Jazzanova/Sonar Kollektiv hp at 
http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~seher/SonarKollektiv/ for infos on other 
releases by them.

The "Solid Water EP" is great. Buy now. Or wait for the CD made of (some 
of) the tracks from "Solid Water", "Solid Water remixes" plus exclusive 
(?) track "Illicitz pt. 2".
Extended Spirit are going to release another 12" called "Caprice" soon, 
and my Sonar Kollektiv contact (oh man, I loved to say something like 
that for a looooong time :-) told me that this will be great. There's also a 
new 2x12" with remixes by Rainer Trueby Trio, Megashira, ... out now.

Bel Air / Beatless may be what you're looking for.
I personally love Kosma's work on INFRAcom! (btw, he's my contact :-).

As much as I know he's not directly connected with the INFRAcom! label - 
but what do I know :-)

Bye

Sebastian

PS: Does anybody know a mailing list that's based on that kind of music 
(K&D, Jazzanova, Kosma, Rainer Trueby Trio, ...) ?
