“Global Beats” is the theme of my monthly ‘Snapshot Mix’ for February 2025 - a selection of my current favorites. Admittedly, a very vague term that only indicates the general musical direction. For a more precise orientation, here are a few more keywords: Brazil / Samba / Bossa Nova / Afro Latin Jazz / Latin Funk / Tropical / Afro House / Reggae / Dub / Broken Beat / Dubstep / Trip Hop / Downbeat / Ethio Jazz

Featuring music by artists such as Trinka, Sonic Interventions (Agogo Records), Gerardo Frisina & Toco, DJ Marcon & The Palo Santos, Zeph & Azeem, Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 feat. Damian Marley, Gaudi & Don Letts, Jayl Funk, Adrian Younge & Ali Shaheed Muhammad with Ebo Taylor, Sam Redmore, Raz & Afla (Wah Wah 45s), Ancient Astronauts, New Sector Movements, Dubmatix, Soul Intent, The Hempolics, Subatomic Sound System & Screechy Dan, Mulatu Astatke & Hoodna Orchestra, and others...

- Hope you enjoy! -

What the funk - September 2025

:: 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? -
