The album „Götterstrasse“/ "Gods Road" is another milestone in Westbam's unique DJ career who celebrates in 2013 its 30th anniversary.
The list of partners from "Gods Road" is as impressive as the variety of genres, from which they originate. Brit Pop meets punk meets dark wave meets Hiphop: Iggy Pop, Bernard Sumner (New Order), Brian Molko (Placebo), Africa Baby Bam (Jungle Brothers), Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Inga Humpe, to name a few.
Already the first single shows that Westbam in his "great tribute to the night and the night life" as an artist reaches a whole new level. So far for him, "electronic music was just sex and power" but when he arrived in the thirtieth year of his career as a DJ and producer he realize that "The night and the night life is more complex, it is of great emotions, great and small dramas, emotional highlights of falling in love, of passion, but also of terrible crash, loneliness and despair." Exactly this large spectrum of emotions is expressed within his single "You Need The Drugs". Westbam presents itself as a sensitive storyteller.
There was no interview, in which he would not respond to drugs, Westbam, in his thirtieth year as a DJ now.
Reason enough for "drugs" to become the subject in his first single of his new album „Götterstrasse“ / "Gods Road".The voice of the heart-rending hymn is Richard Butler, the lead singer of New Wave band Psychadelic Furs and the message is clear: drug nerves! Drugs destroy relationships! Drugs are always counter-productive!
"You Need The Drugs" appears in 5 different mixes, the album version is the original, the album Short Cut Mix for radio stations who venture to the theme, the album Extended 12 "version for long car rides to the club and go home , however, the club monster mix is Westbam's Ghetto Rave Remix, a real club and rave smasher.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Westbam is a legend and one of the most influential figures in the global techno scene. An icon from Berlin responsible with his fellow djs and producers in his label Low Spirit for some of the most important rave classics that have a very special place in the heart of any raver worldwide. The first single from his forthcoming album entitled You Need The Drugs and signifies Westbam attempt to present tracks with deep meaningful and inspirational lyrics and progress his career one step further. The combination of his deep tech house beats, electro influenced basslines and dark melodies with Richard Butler's unique voice has as a result a club anthem that will appeal to a wide variety of audiences. It can talk to the EDM fans but also indie rock followers will find the track attractive too for sure. The single includes the superb Moguai remix that will blow your mind. The legend and influential dj & producer Moguai beefs up the beats, toughens the basslines and inject some extra energy to make the track suitable for peak time use on big rooms and open air festivals. If you still enjoy Westbam electro sound the Rave Remix is what you need. Banging, booming with siren sound effects and melodramatic strings and synths that remind us the good old rave days. Now on the package is added the magnificent dj Hell remix. The German techno icon presents his deep dark techno version that has amazing cinematic atmosphere that will carry you away and you will start visualise mentally the perfect lyrics that highlighted from Richard Butler performance. Dj Hell once again proves why he is ahead for so many years with groundbreaking forward thinking techno gems. Westbam is back with a state of the art single. Love IT!
