Jazzanova is an essential name for anyone who likes music. Any kind of music, really. Jazzanova is, undoubtedly, one of the most important Dance/Electronic projects of the last decade. They set the template for most of the black music rooted Dance/ Electronica that’s being made in the past couple of years. Whether it’s soulful Deep House, Drum & Bass, Boogie, Hip-Hop, Latin and Soul, Alex is one of the foremost proponents of the Nu-Jazz and House movements in today’s music.

The Riel Musical Philosophy: Sied describes his brand of music as “deep, driving, warm, melodic-fuelled trance” with each track or remix “directly related to my personality, experiences and state of mind”. He’s tipped by Tiësto as “the hottest producer around” and by DJ Magazine as “the next big thing to hit Trance”. The latest graduate to join Trance music’s elite ‘Van Clan’, Sied is also one of Armin van Buuren’s favourite producers and according to Ferry Corsten “one of THE new Trance Guys”. Having won the “best new face” at the Trance Awards 2008 in London, playing across the globe at Trance Energy and many more, get ready for Sied van Riel (‘Seed’ van ‘Real’) Trance-spotters!
