2. NAVIGATORS (Czech) got their ticket to ride to the top of the music scene in exchange for their first album SKY TRAVELLIN´ (SubPub/Sony) released by the end of 2007. It is the first Czech record ever mastered in the world famous Sterling Sound Studios NY by Tom Coyne (MC Solaar, Beyonce, Destiny´s child, The Roots, Erykah Badu, Kanye West, Jamiroquai or Sade). The record is not adored just for it's perfect sound, but also for the creative approach of the whole seven-member band, that avoided using samples and invited seventeen great Czech musicians instead to produce a record that nobody else in Czech ever tried to make. A 100%-live rare mix of R´n´B, soul, jazz and funk.

Today, Navigators, nominated by some of the most influencing music magazines in the country for the Newcomer of the year, go on tour with one the Czech’s best rated record of the year, while their first music video is waiting for its official premiere on MTV Europe.
