Mystical Mo

Moritz Dortmund aka Mystical Mo, i am mainly a drummer and plays in different groups drumset.
Stylistically, i`m  at home with everything Groove has.
My favourite music is music with african roots like Funk, HipHop, Reggae, Dancehall, Jungle, Jazz,
Soul, Latin…
Over the years i played with countless singers, musicians, dj’s and dancers in

I earned my first money as a professional musician mainly with Jazz, winning

Lutz Krajenski, David Milzow and many more together.
In 2004, i worked a lot in the funk / soul circle with the Soulpower project. Monthly
Singers came from the vicious circle of James Brown to Hannover and were from the Screen
Club accompanied. Here are some names: Marva Whitney, Martha High, Sweet Charles
Sherrell, Waldo Wheaters, Corey Parker. In 2006 i toured Europe with Marva Whitney.

In 2017 the album “Better Days” of the Peace Development Crew took the 19th position on the Global Reggae Charts.
This was followed by concerts in Germany, Holland and Ireland with the entire band.
During a band-exchange the Peace Development Crew went in 2019 to Jamaica. There they recorded
and played concerts with the Jamaican singer Colah Colah.

Percusssion has always been in the concept and i literally play quite alot of percussions in parties since years.
In 2019 i developed my Drum-performances and apparently performes street drum-shows, Street Music Festivals, and as well oftenly plays LED DRUM SHOWS with “Misson4mars” .
