"After countless remixes, influential 12inches and a string of international compilation contributions, CAN7 opens up a new chapter with “Safari Club”. Bossa, Soul, Easy Listening, jazzy stuff and smooth, oriental electronics create a timeless, relaxed listening feel – showing more than yet another aspect of the big scale CAN7 musical map. Teaming up with his studio partner Guido Craviero -programmer and DJ (They have remixed for Moloko, Ofra Hazar, CunnieWilliams etc.), singer Angela Caran, keyboard wizard Xaver Fischer and a bunch of Germany’s top notch studio cats, Levent Canseven stresses his analogue roots on “Safari Club” and pays tribute to the sounds that influenced him most. With an emphasis on songwriting, comfortable vibes, strong melodies and sultry grooves, the CAN7 debut album sounds like “Pop” in its best sense. Airplay favourites like “Stronger” and “Cruising” set the mood for a really sunny, very special safari day including visits in the desert as well as on the beach. Enjoy…"
"I've been a fan of Can 7's remixes for quite some time, so I was very anxious to take a listen to their full-length when it came through my mailbox. His remixes of Moloko's "Sing It Back" & "The Time Is Now" have been rotated in & out of my record box for years. My interest in "Safari Club" was peaked even more when I saw Xavier Fischer (more on him later) was involved in the production. Leave it to those Germans, Boris Dlugosch & Mousse T at Peppermint Jam, to unearth such a talented combo for their latest long player.Levent Canseven, the mastermind behind the successful Can 7, is a highly experienced DJ, producer and remixer. His remix work has shown up on numerous mix CDs including Mark Farina's Connect on Om Records and After The Playboy Mansion mixed by Dimitri From Paris. Mr. Canseven is highly accomplished on bass, guitar, keyboards, and percussion. For this album's incarnation, Levent is joined by the extraordinary vocals of Angela Caran, the gifted songwriting of Guido Craviero, and the skillful musicianship of Xavier Fischer (of Xavier Fischer Trio and Smoke City fame). All of these elements combine to create an irresistible mixture of Latin styles, house beats and tasteful jazz vibes.The sixteen tracks on "Safari Club" visit a multitude of genres like a trip through a zoo, with each new exhibit delighting more than the first. Angela Caran's croons on "Stronger" will have you thinking that Sade stopped by for a guest appearance, while her delivery on "Taking It All Away" is reminiscent of Diana Ross & Gloria Estefan. On the album's first sing, "Eternally," while the music programming is exquisite, Ms. Caran does her best Astrud Gilberto to give this summery love song a real seductive edge. Xavier Fischer's "Unique" sound is apparent on "Coffeebreak" with its vocodered vocal samples, Moog solos & funky horn riffs. Those expecting to hear sounds akin to Can 7's remix work will be pleased with the Latin-influenced "Safari Club" and the neo-disco, post-Loveboat sound of "Streets Of Saturn." Previous singles "Fruitcake" and "Cruisin'" both make appearances as well with their distinct Naked Music vibe."

"Sixteen brilliant Songs, floating between commercial Bossa-Pop, tight Funk, groovy House-Vibes and cool Jazz-Feeling, all delivered with a tasteful 70s analog sound. This high-quality mixture can only be delivered by a DJ who is also a trained musician.With each note CAN7's "Safari Club" reflects a view on life that is 100% Levent Canseven, between analog and digital, instruments and computers, classic songwriting and modern sample-treatment. Nevertheless this "clash of cultures" comes natural for Levent Canseven and his generation. He merges Oldschool-Funk, Jazz and Soul in a very musical way, but with a DJ background. Together with his fellow musicians and producers like Xaver Fischer, Guido Craveiro and Angela Caran the musical journey takes him to Rio via Ankara and ends on the dancefloor. This is the good stuff!"
