Dr.Best : Label-Specials & Artist-Tribute Mixes

My monthly 'Headz Mix' from August 2021 ranges somewhere between Tech House, Electro, Progressive House and Techno.  The focus is on the Belgian producer Van Czar, respectively the sound of his own labels Ibiza Boys, VAN Recordings, Techno Parade und Miami Boys.

Van Czar grew up in Brussels and now resides in Spain's capital Madrid. As a producer and DJ, he brings a progressive club sound to dance floors. From 2009-2012 he was involved in the widely rooted Belgian label Bonzai Records. Meanwhile he successfully runs his own labels Ibiza Boys, Van Czar Series, Techno Parade, CZ Code, Miami Boys and VAN Recordings.
Currently he is working on joint studio projects with greats of the scene like Samuel L Session and Robert Armani. Still planned for 2021 are first vinyl releases on Miami Boys, a new compilation on Techno Parade, as well as the foundation of a new techno label: AXA Lab.

Headz-Mix 2021-08

Label-Special: IBIZA BOYS + VAN CZAR (Madrid) 2021-08

This mix spotlights the Portuguese deep house label PISTON RECORDINGS.

PistonRecordings was founded in 2007 by label boss, DJ and producer Rogério Martins, to fill the void in Portugal's independent dance music labels dedicated to young and fresh new talents. Obviously he has a good sense for this - today the label can look back on more than 600 releases and artists from all over the world send their demos to be able to release their music on Piston Recordings.

With my label mix I would like to give an impression of the current sound of this label. The track selection stems from the releases of the past 12 months and moves stylistically somewhere between Deep House and Funky House, also on the subject of Nu Disco, and in places it goes a little more in the direction of Tech House. Featuring music from artists such as Mau Zeti, James Garside, Soulthek, Kuzey, B&S Concept, Andy Bach, Soulthek, Luis Bravo, Ritz, and others.

Get The Party Started Right!

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! -

PS: you can find the complete compilation here:

Funk The World Mix 04

:: 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? -
