De Phazz Biography
The prolific De-Phazz was a jazzy, club-oriented downtempo project centered on Germany's Pit Baumgartner, a sample-minded producer who surrounded himself with a shifting cast of guest musicians and vocalists. Detunized Gravity (1997), Godsdog (1999), Death by Chocolate (2001), and Daily Lama (2002) explored various terrains of 21st century lounge music, with innumerable references to the jazz and soul of the past. Baumgartner was also no stranger to outside work; he remixed Ella Fitzgerald's "Wait 'til You See Him" for the first Verve Remixed compilation. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
