Daniel Best
At a time when DJing is less about connecting with music lovers and more about branding, play counts and frequent flyer miles, Daniel W. Best’s approach is so straightforward that it’s almost groundbreaking: an egoless passion, a fine-tuned ear and most important, an open mind with good taste. Although he prefers to call himself a music activist rather than a DJ, Best has over two decades of experience behind the decks, getting crowds onto their feet whether he plays Jazz, Soul, Reggae, Rare Groove, Disco or House – sometimes all within the same set, always on vinyl. Rooted in Berlin for over 15 years, he has established residencies at Cookies and Tausend and organizes a variety of special parties and one-off events. But his DJing is only one aspect of his musical credibility: he runs his own company Best Works, which serves as a powerhouse for booking, artist and event management and publishing, representing an array of talent including Jazzanova Live feat. Paul Randolph, Mop Mop, Nôze & Band, Samúel Jón Samúelsson Big Band, Fetsum, William Adamson, Kyodai, André Lodemann, Vidis, Clé, Christian Prommer, Alex Barck among many others. Bringing professionalism to partying, Best is responsible for some of Berlin’s most successful events, including Kaleideskop, which pairs Jazzanova’s DJ team with top names from around the world such as Masters at Work, Carl Craig and Metro Area, as well as Dixon’s now defunct club night Innercity held at Weekend, and the oldschool House party Washing Machine which has been running in Berlin for over 10 years at different clubs and which finally arrived at Kater Holzig and Panorama Bar. Aside from all this, Daniel has proven his A&R prowess, most notable with his two labels Best Seven Records – a Sonar Kollektiv imprint focusing on Reggae and Soul sounds – and Best Works Records, together with André Lodemann focusing on House music. His three Best Seven Selections compilations have earned praise for their classic yet contemporary angle on Reggae, and his Polish Jazz compilation for Jazzanova Compost Records showed his ear for the obscure. Best’s most recent focus is G.I. Disco, a name that encompasses a DJ duo along with Berliner Hip Hop DJ Kalle Kuts, the aforementioned club night, a compilation released by legendary London label BBE, and the temporary exhibition „From G.I Blues to G.I. Disco“ at the Allied Museum. Last but not least, Best and Kalle Kuts have brought their concept to some of Europe’s top clubs including Bob Beaman (Munich), Prater Sauna (Vienna) and Zukunft (Zurich).
Andi de Luxe
The Berlin Years...After deejaying for almost 20 years in Hannover and working in a record shop for almost 15 years, Andi decided to restart his musical career in 2009. He closed his record store, moved to Berlin and engaged in serious soul-searching for a while.When unpacking the moving boxes he rediscovered his collection of funk and disco records, music that has taken a back seat in the last years playing all that uptempo stuff in the clubs of his hometown. Sometimes it is very helpful to remember your musical roots, especially when you try to reset your whole musical life.His first life-sign from Berlin was a blog for disco-edits and podcasts called Dikso which he started together wit h Marc Poppcke. Lat er on he t eamed up wit h Daniel Solar to add a record label to his Dikso platform.In 2011 he presented his first contribution for his own label, a track called "Boobsie Collins". Watch out for new tracks on Dikso and their brand new digital platform: Dikso Files.
