As much music I hear and I read about it's so awesome that I learn something new about something old. I've heard the name WestBam before but don't think I knew any of his tracks until recently. The guy has only been a staple in the German party scene since '83. Including throwing some huge raves and playing at the very first Love Parade. He released a new album with some pretty head turning collaborators. Guys like Bernard Sumner of New Order, Richard Butler of The Psychedelic Furs, Lil' Wayne, and Kanye West. Clearly this man holds some friggin' clout. Here are a few snippits off his Double album(disc 2 is all instrumental dubs of disc 1) titled Götterstrasse, or God's Street. Its a pretty awesome album going from New Wave to more Orchestral bangin' choons with some pretty creative vocal performances... Here is my favourite
WestBam - You Need The Drugs Feat. Richard Butler (Original Mix)
This might sound a bit foolish but is everyone in Germany a music producer? Ok maybe all of Germany is a bit much, maybe producer is even a stretch. but surely all Berliners are DJs? I can think of no other way to explain the constant flow of music that I love that comes out of that one place and the fact that there are so goddamn many different producers! Someday Berlin... someday I'm coming for you. But I fear I might not ever leave once I do.
