I was having this discussion tonight - someone like westbam, plays some amazing records. I've never heard him play something i dislike - occasionally he'll play something that isnt amazing, but thats about it. He plays some spectacular records. |
Laushinameee,

This thread: why? |
Exactly. Who gives a ?
It seems like everyone has turned into a music critic lately, and they have set the bar so high that it is up in the clouds, and DJs/producers have to do better every single time.
It's music people, either you like or you don't. I'm glad i'm not an amateur music critic and almost nothing pleases me. I like tons of different music.
P.S. My rant is not about the topic of this thread specifically, i just felt the need to get it off my chest. |

| Yes yes we all know you don't care about the music you listen to. Some people do, however, and you'll have to deal with that. |

That is pretty impressive tracklist. Quality in there. Not many fillers. I like the electro feel he has in this set.
* WestBam & Afrika Islam - Dancing With The Rebels is one of my fav. tunes this year. Slammin electro funk.
I also like the few moby remixs he did.
I will try to listen to more of his sets in the future.
Cheers Laushinameee. |

BTW here's some info on Westbam :happy2:
WestBam, alias Maximilian Lenz, was born on 4 March 1965 in Münster, Westphalia. Not only is he Germany's most successful and most popular DJ and avantgardist of the Raving Society, he is also the most innovative producer and co-founder of Berlin's Indie Dance label, Low Spirit.
WestBam is in fact the abbreviated form of Westphalia BamBaataa and derives from this artist's home state in Germany and his role model Afrika Bambaataa. 1983 marked the beginning of his DJ career in the Odeon Club in Münster. In 1984 he made a permanent move to Berlin which was still divided by the Wall. WestBam started as DJ at Berlin's famous Metropol and his sophisticated mixing techniques brought him fame far beyond the borders of the divided city. In 1985 WestBam worked with Klaus Jankuhn to produce his first 12" entitled "17" which was inspired by Paul Hardcastle's "19". In 1989 he made his first album "The Cabinet". This was the first DJ-concept album to be launched on the German market. |

Hm, what's this about Zab cutting a deal with Pioneer? Tell meh more. |
As far as i know, pioneer saw that he was using alot of their equipment in crazy ways, and decided to start paying him to use it.
Now it seems that he manages to slide how much he loves his cdjs1000s, and djm into every interview. (of course he did talk about them a fair amount before he was hooked up with pio)
The only major problem i see with it, is that first of all, if some company came out with something amazing, that totally suited him, he would feel pressured not to use it. We all know that the djm is outdated by now... Also, if pio does come out with something, he might feel pressured to use, and promote it. (such is happening with the dvj right now)
So, in general i can see something like this getting in the way of the music. Hopefully it will not though.
BTW I'm taking this info from a couple of articles, but mostly from heavy gossip on other forums (including pioneers own forum) So it could be complete bull (although if not, hes doing a load of advertising for free...)
On the otherhand hes stated in interviews that hes gotten to "work" with pioneer on "amazing" new equipment, so im pretty sure the connection is there. |

Westbam at Loveradio was one of the funnest sets i've ever been too. His Mayday set is really good too. Infact i've failed to see a set from him yet.

Yea, but he doesn't just promote it and have his name associated with it in interviews and magazines, etc. He actually goes to conventions and demonstrates what the technology can do, or so I have read... |

love tiesto still, who ever is at the top gets slated, if sasha was number one then he would be slated. by the way, this summer i was in ibiza and i happen to catch zabelia and sasha back to back at we love sundays@space, terrace and indoors, pretty special event, zabelia seemed alot better tho, didnt rate sasha that much, expected alot more. saw tiesto twice, at cream of course, thought he was amazing the second time.
but right now guys, i think its all about james holden, i even caught him at glastonbury 2004, and thought he was unbelievable, his music is so deep!!
long live marco v too! |
