Westbam Talks Techno Roots In Our Latest Telekom Electronic Beats Podcast

The techno pioneer opens up about Berlin club culture’s past and present.

Last week, we launched our new Telekom Electronic Beats Podcast with a debut episode featuring DJ Hell. Now, we’re proud to officially present the second episode with Westbam. (We say “officially present” because we actually released both episodes concurrently last week.)

In the Podcast, Westbam talks with Telekom Electronic Beats Podcast host Jakob Thoene about how he found his way to techno from his ’70s post-punk roots. Listen to it above or on Apple Music, Mixcloud, SoundCloud, Spotify or Deezer. Check below to hear the first edition with DJ Hell.

This podcast is also available on Soundcloud, Deezer, Spotify and Apple Music.
