"The 12'' Inch Mixes Vol.2" on CD by Shakatak is a carefully curated collection of extended versions and club-friendly remixes that spotlight the band's hallmark blend of jazz-funk, smooth grooves and sophisticated pop hooks. This volume focuses on the classic 12-inch mixes that defined Shakatak's sound on dancefloors, with elongated instrumental passages, richer intros and outros, and space for the rhythm section and keyboards to shine.

Shakatak are a British jazz-funk and smooth-jazz band known for their melodic keyboard lines, soulful vocals and elegant groove. They rose to prominence in the early 1980s and became an important name in the jazz-funk and club scene, particularly in the UK and Japan. Over the years, they have built a loyal international following through consistent studio work and energetic live performances, and they are often cited as one of the key bands that helped shape the genre's accessible, radio-friendly side. Their music is characterized by a blend of catchy melodies, polished arrangements and subtle improvisational touches.
This CD edition of "The 12'' Inch Mixes Vol.2" is aimed at collectors, long-time followers and new listeners who appreciate extended dance versions that remain true to the musical essence of the original songs. The track selection emphasizes groove-oriented cuts that work equally well for attentive listening at home and as a soundtrack for relaxed gatherings. Thanks to the focus on longer versions, many nuances in bass, percussion and keyboard work become more apparent, giving the album a rich, immersive character. The compilation structure makes it easy to listen from start to finish, as the tracks are arranged to create a natural flow of tempo and mood.
