Talking about music, if someone talks of a "sick beat" would you translate it as a synonym or "edgy" or "hot". I guess this is a kind of trendy word, but I'm not sure of real scope of the term.
Thank you in advance.

: Así aparece, en crítcas de arte y conciertos, no refiriéndose al compás de la batería, sino a la experiencia "cool", "desbordante".

...ritmo "enfermo"...
Habría que escribirlo entrecomillado. En algunos países del Caribe, por una extraña trasposición del sentido, se llama "enfermas" a las cosas muy buenas.
Otra traducción posible, ésta más "académica": ritmo decadente...
