Created in 1990 using a Tascam 244 four track cassette recorder, a few reverb and delay fx units and a wide collection of vinyl, I created this ambient mixtape.
I gave a few copies of the mixtape to selected close friends but unfortunately we lost our copies over time... that is until recently, when a cd burn of the mix turned up in a friends collection 32 years later!

Hypnotized Coma

This week's edition of Spin City, unfortunately, was the last Hot Sauce Show from our unbelievable host Fernando Mendoza aka The Funk District. On behalf of myself, and all the crew at Spin City, we would like to thank Fernando for all of his amazing work for Spin City. The Hot Sauce Show has been absolutely incredible and showcased the finest on offer from Mexico, and always been hugely anticipated from all the guys in chat.
We wish Fernando every success in the world, moving forward. 

In the meantime you have this outstanding 2 hours of music as the unltimate send off.

20241012 The Shampoo Effect

The January edition of my monthly “Snapshot” mix series, which recently celebrated its premiere on Radio Z 95.8 Nuremberg. This time, the focus is increasingly on two of my personal favorite labels labels from England, which celebrated round anniversaries in 2024: First Word Records (20 years), and Wah Wah 45s (25 years). In addition, there are a few more of my recent musical discoveries.
The sound ranges somewhere between downtempo, hip hop, neo soul, soul jazz, nu jazz, broken beat and afro house.

Featuring music by Hardkandy, Espen Horne, Takuya Kuroda, Essa (a.k.a. Yungun), Mr Thing, Tall Black Guy, Blockhead, Amanda Whiting, Scrimshire, Total Hip Replacement, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Anthony Joseph, Part Time Heroes, and others...

Funk Hunk & dj ShmeeJay - Ain't No Big Thing

:: 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? -
