Why do we like this?

Berlin. This musical city conjures images of drunken millennials lining up eagerly to Berghain, post-anarchists blasting late night minimal techno under U-bahn stations, maybe Kraftwerk at home with some Club Mate for the eclectic. 

Regardless where Berlinites may fall musically, if there’s a theme song to this city today this might just be it. For this tourist, Westbam encapsulates the scene: surprisingly appealing synth accompanied by beautiful monotony in the form of an English voice that betrays Berlin's DGAF trendy temper. Total geil, as the club kids might say here.

We give our thanks to influential German avant-gardism DJ Westbam, the man behind the first Mayday rave in Berlin, and Richard Butler, of the 70s band the Psychedelic Furs, for a tune that's totally harmless (it's not going to destroy your eardrums), but that you can dance your face off to.

If you're curious it's off his 2013 album Götterstrasse, but is only just now making waves due to its appearance in arthouse flick B-Movie. We wish we heard it before it "went mainstream," but we're not that cool.
