On Electronic Music Cities week - WestBam, was born in Münster but spent his adult life in Berlin. ⁠

German DJ WestBam talks about his early life in Münster and his unconventional upbringing. This episode is an insight into an artist born into a culturally privileged background, but who, like many children do, rebelled against his hippie-era parents. He also talks about how he developed a manifesto as a teenager which described the DJ as the star of the future, and how music played a role in bringing down the Berlin Wall.⁠
