 Westbam Interview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Westbam : Obviously it is a completely different situation, when I started, the concept of a DJ being taken seriously as an artist was quite unheard of.
Westbam : Well I think that is true of most personality DJ's that they manage to get across their own personality in their music, whether they are playing their own records or other people's records, they can manage to get their own personality across, and that is true for Takkyu.
Westbam : Well that would be it, and then again, I guess it is hard to give advice because people have to find their own thing anyway.

 Westbam: We'll Never Stop Living This Way: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Westbam's debut album for Mute provokes me to such thoughts because We'll Never Stop Living This Way is a made- for- the- next- millennium homage to old school electro.
Westbam is, in fact, a big somebody, except he doesn't play corporate clubs and shite trance tunes like Paul "Oakie" Oakenfold, Judge Jules, and everyone's grudgingly tolerated bandwagon- hopper, Boy George.
Westbam's backing is cautiously lightweight (is he wary of upstaging the electro Titan?) and doesn't really match the force of Bambataa's delivery or vision.

As much as anything, Westbam's forthcoming LP 'We'll Never Stop Living This Way' is a direct result of that same thirst for new experience and uncharted adventure.
The title is inspired by the paraphernalia of the international DJ - airplane food, piles of accumulated loose change and snaps taken in every corner of the globe - and you'll find the same attitude equally dominates the music inside.
On 11 November at midnight, WestBam will be interviewed and spin a one hour set on Pseudo TV, an online network made up of several channels, each channel made up of several shows.

 Westbam - We'll Never Stop Living This Way - Review
Although you may have never heard his name before, Westbam is indeed a big name on the electronic music scene.
Not only is he the co-founder of the annual Berlin "Love Parade" (where several million turned out last year to dance their collective azzes off).
One of the funny things is that the album-titled track of "We'll Never Stop Living This Way" could be one of the first new-wave 80s sounding techno tracks I've ever heard.

Germans are much better at experimentalism than they are at techno as evidenced by this pile of utter tripe.
Westbam is the German equivalent of a hippie as the founder of The Love Parade, a festival that draws almost a quarter of a million people, and his brand of unmitigated techno has made him a superstar in his homeland, which isn't so surprising since all Germans love techno.
Westbam has been djing since the mid-eighties and first hit the charts with "Monkey Say Monkey Do" in 1988.
