Summer 2001: On the Nuremberg based Downbeat/Lounge/Nu Jazz Label STEREO DELUXE the group BOOZOO BAJOU released their 10 track debut album SATTA. Since 1997 the duo Peter Heider and Florian Seyberth aka BOOZOO BAJOU caught the eye of DJ's and other hipsters through the release of three twelve inch records (Night over Manaus, Under my Sensi, and Divers) which brought a whole lot of club-play and smaller notification all over the world. Two years later SATTA has sold more than 65.000 times all over the world excluding bootlegs which surfaced in such strange places as Thailand. The album has turned into a classic and is described as a milestone for the downbeat scene. Those 10 tracks from SATTA can now be found on more than 120 CD compilations worldwide and the music was used on half a dozen top class tv adverts.
After bringing BOOZOO BAJOU on the road by dj'ing all over the world in 2002 the group got lots of requests for a compilation CD of their favourite tracks by other artists. Subsequently they released JUKE JOINT, a 20 piece mix compilation in spring 2003 which again got a worldwide positive feedback especially due to the wooden box which was the packaging for the limited edition.
During 2003 BOOZOO BAJOU played a whole lot of live DJ shows (for example with The Cinematic Orchestra in Berlin or at Vienna's Dubclub) and did a few more remixes for Tony Joe White, Henry Mancini, and Nelly Furtado.

Give it away, give it away
Live it up, give it up, give it away
Today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Perhaps we're on our way, perhaps we've gone too far
Perhaps we should slow down, and be where we really are
Today, today, yeah
If you believe that there is no other way
Try living today, today
Little by little, in your own way, oh-oh
Oh-oh, ooh, yeah
Today
Little by little
Try living today, yeah
Little by little
We're in today, today
If you believe that there is no other way, yeah
Try living today, today
Little by little, you're on your own way
Perhaps we're on our way, perhaps we've gone too far
Perhaps we should slow down
And be where we really are, where we really are
Oh, where we really are
Today, today
Try living today, today
Today
Little by little
Try living today, today
Little by little
Be where we really are
Little by little

Be where we really are, yeah
The lyrics in Boozoo Baju's song "Little by Little" talk about living in the present moment and taking things step by step. The repetition of "give it up" and "give it away" can be interpreted as a call to let go of material things and embrace the moment. The lines "perhaps we should slow down, and be where we really are" suggest that we often get carried away with our lives and forget to live in the present. The chorus "if you believe that there is no other way, try living today, little by little, in your own way" encourages the listener to embrace a slower pace of life and enjoy the small things.
The phrase "little by little" is repeated several times and serves as the main theme of the song. It means that we should not rush into things and instead take our time to enjoy life. The song is also about self-discovery and finding our own way, the line "little by little, in your own way" emphasizes this.
