Headz-Mix 2024-10

My monthly 'Headz Mix' for December 2024 is strongly inspired by the compilation “Future Sounds Of Kraut Vol.3” (released by Compost Records). Upon first listen, retro-futuristic images quickly came to mind, inspired by the science-fiction visions from the 1970s and '80s.
Somehow I found the idea exciting, to make my own excursion into this area of music. And so “Future Sounds Of Kraut Vol.3” was the source of inspiration for this mix, which finally contains only 3 tracks from this compilation.

Furthermore: music by Disappear, Pfenninger & Ortner, Statik Sound System, Fears, Kelly Lee Owens, Tutu Ta, Josh Caffe (Polari Records), Sasse, Fred & Luna, The Green Men, Jepe, Polybot, Hunter/Game, Mano Le Tough, Dnl Mike, and others...

- I hope you like the result -

Mr. Shakir is a WMU Bronco and after he left, I would pick him up at the Kalamazoo Amtrak station for him to bang classic Sunday nite Alpha parties at Electric Avenue in the Fall of 1989.  Shake is a friend, Big Brother, mentor and a significant contributor to the Detroit Techno sound.  We love you Big Bruh!
'89 DJ Tony Humphries & Dr. John Robinison WRKS KISS 98.7 FM Side A

11-89 DJ Anthony Shakir Metroplex Studios Detroit, MI Side B

:: 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? -
