My monthly 'Headz Mix' for May 2021. - The musical focus this time is on deep house and tech house.

In the first part of the mix the spotlight is on the Berlin-based label NIE WIEDER SCHLAFEN. Initially started from Berlin and Munich, Nie Wieder Schlafen evolved from a DJ collective to a music label for melodic and emotional music within the electronic genres. First releases appeared in 2017 - since then the community grew year by year and the label also moulted to a platform for international producers and DJs.
My label mix offers a selection from the current releases of the label. Artists like Padre, Quatri, Rohrer & Stohler, LADS, Modulo, Javier Orduna, and others are represented.

Label-Special: NIE WIEDER SCHLAFEN (Berlin) 2021-05

In 2020 the legendary label Strictly Rhythm Records celebrated its landmark 30th anniversary. Having shaped the face of house music since its inception in New York in 1989.

Strictly Rhythm’s extraordinary inﬂuence is shown by the many iconic artists who have released on the label, such as Louie Vega, Kenny Dope, DJ Pierre, Roger Sanchez, Todd Terry, Erick Morillo, Armand Van Helden, Barbara Tucker, Joey Negro, Danny Tenaglia, Lil Louis, David Morales, India, Osunlade, Dennis Ferrer, and many more... But also by the internationally renowned selectors who regularly feature Strictly Rhythm tracks in their sets to a rapturous response.

To commemorate its proud heritage, Strictly Rhythm released the compilation "The Deﬁnitive 30" - featuring 30 classic tracks that deﬁne the label musically, artistically and culturally. And to accompany this, also a special 3-part 12” vinyl set, plus ten previously digitally unreleased recordings.

The entire track selection of Dr.Best’s “90s House Tribute-Mix” comes from this anniversary releases.

Happy Birthday, Strictly Rhythm Records!!

30 YEARS STRICTLY RHYTHM RECORDS (90s House Tribute-Mix)

In 2020 KRUDER & DORFMEISTER released their long-awaited debut album - 25 years after its creation. "1995" is a little journey back in time to the 90s - the time of Trip Hop and Downtempo sound, which was also influenced by Kruder & Dorfmeister.

In 1995 this album would certainly have been a milestone - and even today I would still put it in this category. If you don't know it yet, you should definitely listen to it in its entirety: https://lnk.to/KD1995

For my monthly edition of the broadcast 'Limbo Rhythm' on Radio Z 95.8 Nuremberg I made this mini-mix (aired for the first time in November 2020). Six of my personal favorites from the album "1995", compressed into twenty minutes.

I hope you have as much fun listening to it, as I had while making this mix.

>> TRACKLIST :
01. Kruder & Dorfmeister - Dope
02. Kruder & Dorfmeister - Stop Screaming
03. Kruder & Dorfmeister - One Break
04. Kruder & Dorfmeister - In Bed With K&D
05. Kruder & Dorfmeister - Johnson

It is the year 2023, and the label Fort Knox Recordings from Washington DC is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary - of course with a first class label compilation, which should not leave any armpit dry: "Another Decade of Fort Knox Recordings" contains 20 highlights from the labels second decade from 2013-2023.

For me, a welcome occasion to dish up a tribute mini-mix from this compilation + the terrific remix by The Allergies, of the Fort Knox Five anthem "Insight" (which has been released as a single).

- 9 Fort Knox bombs packed in 22 minutes - hope you enjoy! -

Snapshot 2025-05

If you've listened to my mixes before, you might have noticed that I often prefer to define only a vague musical spectrum and rarely commit myself to a single genre. Simply because it gives me a lot of leeway when I throw genre boundaries overboard.

“Organitronic” is the theme of my monthly ‘Headz Mix’ for June 2025. A term that, as far as I know, doesn't define an official music genre and only vaguely hints at what it's about... According to MY definition, it's about electronic music with organic components. This could be vocals, recorded instruments, maybe a wooden-sounding snare, percussion, finger snaps, handclaps, or simply the general mood of a track.

For friends of genre designations, I would like to throw in terms such as Electronic, IDM, Future Jazz, Neo-Classical, Broken Beat, Deep Garage and Breakbeat.

Okay, it's time for a new Tribute-Mix: the focus is on the London-based producer, DJ and remixer FUTURE FUNK SQUAD. The man behind this pseudonym is Glen Nicholls - one of the most respected and renowned figures in the international Breakbeat scene.
Up to date he has released a total of 4 highly acclaimed albums, he ran several own Breakbeat labels (like En:vision Records, Default Records, Re:Connect,...) and toured as a DJ around the globe. He is also in great demand as a remixer - several well-known artists like The Prodigy, Nine Inch Nails, Mylo, UNKLE, Massive Attack, Bomb The Bass, Yazoo, Moloko, and Hybrid commissioned Future Funk Squad to rework their music.

In the first part of his Tribute-Mix, Dr.Best takes a look at the classic breakbeat sound of Future Funk Squad from the early to mid 2000s.
Part two is focused on his current works: his highly acclaimed album "Darker Days" (released in 2014) is in the spotlight, as well as two of his latest singles.

By the way: a new Future Funk Squad album is already announced to be released soon! The brand new single "Lock Down" - a collaboration with The Crystal Method - is a little foretaste:

FUTURE FUNK SQUAD Tribute-Mix (2020-09)

Dr.Best - FUTURE FUNK SQUAD Tribute-Mix Pt.1: 'Breakbeat Classix'

Part 1 of my monthly "Headz" mix for February 2021 is dedicated to the Danish deep house label DeepWit Recordings. For several years now, Alvaro Hylander and Sierra Maydell have been impressing me again and again with the innovative deep house sound they have published. The label was founded in 2011 and celebrates its 10th anniversary this year!
Definitely a good reason for a special label-mix, for which I have selected some tracks that were released on DeepWit Recordings in 2020. Label artists such as Ezeo, BioHazard People, LYP, Hamza Rahimtula, Frederick Alonso, Deephope, Christian Lamper, Deep Active Sound, and others are represented.

** HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY, DEEPWIT RECORDINGS!! **

:: DR.BEST ::
DJ and radio host on Radio Z 95.8 Nuernberg/Germany (Radioshows “Limbo Rhythm” and “Headz”).

As DJ he has performed since 1992 in the Franconian surroundings, however, also in Berlin, Cologne, Munich, Portugal, Switzerland, Austria… Moreover he was booked for events such as the IFA International Radio Exhibition Berlin and the biggest European Youth Fair “YOU”, also in Berlin.
Dr.Best himself considers his roots in the Hip Hop Sound of the early 80’s to the mid 90’s, but he also dealt with other styles such as Funk, Soul, Acid Jazz, Trip Hop, Big Beat, House, Drum & Bass and Breakbeat. Over a couple of years he has been known in the German Clubscene as a Breakbeat-DJ, then in 2006, however, his style started to mutate… Styles such as Funk, Soul, Jazz, Hip Hop, Reggae, Latin, Afrobeat and Disco got mixed with his Breakbeat Sound and created a new mixture which cannot be easily tagged any more.
- But actually there is no need to tag it, is it? -
