"We’re eagerly keeping an eye on Boston born downtempo trip-hop artist Jenova 7 ever since the instrumental release of “Dusted Jazz: Volume 1“. Today marks the release of the sequel full of beautiful downtempo jazz, trip-hop and abstract instrumental hip hop." - The Find Mag (

"This is definitely one of the smoothest albums I’ve listened to. Jenova 7 blends downtempo hip-hop beats with the most buttery smooth jazz you’ll hear. In one of Jenova 7‘s interviews, he has stated that he would actually prefer to make movies over music, and it shows through his music. His songs will have you nodding your head to the beat, but also have a “soundtrack” feel to them, sometimes feeling like it could be taken straight out of a film. In some songs, he even includes some old movie quotes, and they always fit great. If you’re looking for really smooth, downtempo beats, look no further. Dusted Jazz Vol. 2 is exactly what you’re looking for." -

"After the great success of Jenova 7's first release, here comes Dusted Jazz Volume Two. The layering of phat drums, groovy basslines and addictive jazzy elements is pure genius and brings delightful reminiscences from the supreme years of the oldschool organic samples-based hip-hop. In case you missed it, be sure to check Dusted Jazz Volume One." -VPD, Dusted Wax Kingdom (
