Maximilian Lenz, known by his stage name 𝑾𝒆𝒔𝒕𝑩𝒂𝒎, is a German DJ, musician and co-founder of the record label Low Spirit.
𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐊 was produced and mixed by Maximilian Lenz and his friend Klaus Jahnkun.


⭐The lyrics for 𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐊 are written by Brian. Harsh and painful lines perfectly describe all the danger of drug addiction and most importantly, Brian’s full compassion for the person suffering from it, “𝑰 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖, 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍 / 𝑰 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒍 / 𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒔𝒊𝒄𝒌.” Brian’s own experience with addiction taught him to never rush to blame, despite of admitting that “𝒘𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆.”

⭐Besides Brian on vocals for 𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐊, there are other great musicians who collaborated with 𝑾𝒆𝒔𝒕𝑩𝒂𝒎 on 𝐆𝐨̈𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞, such as famous rappers Kanye West and Lil Wayne, rock legend Iggy Pop, Richard Butler of Psychedelic Furs, to name a few.

▪️𝑾𝒆𝒔𝒕𝑩𝒂𝒎 is in fact the abbreviated form of Westphalia BamBaataa and derives from Maximilian Lenz'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 moved to Berlin and started as DJ at the famous 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐥 (by the way, the same one where Placebo played one of their intimate album release shows last month😍).
▪️Lenz’s sophisticated mixing techniques brought him fame far beyond the borders of the city. In 1986 he founded v and in 1989, he made his first album 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐭. This was the first DJ-concept album to be launched on the German market.
▪️Maximilian Lenz is well known on the German techno scene thanks to his projects 𝑴𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝑴𝒂𝒚𝒅𝒂𝒚 and 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒆.

⭐𝐋𝐘𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐒⭐
It's a matter of time before you break
Your eyes are closed and you're awake
The constant gambles that you take
With demons in your mind
Is this the way to celebrate
The gift of life another day
And all the treasures you forsake
For something you can't buy?

We are transparent not opaque
We are the choices that we make
You're trying to charm a rattle snake
Convinced that it won't bite.

I love you, you're beautiful
I love you, you're beautiful
I know you think you're evil
But you're just sick
Now you belong to something fake
The devil's own affiliate
A feed fool well appropriate
All that remains inside

My heart can't help itself but break
A constant fucking belly-ache
Collapsed in tears when I relate
The days when you were mine
What will it take to satiate
Your need to supersaturate
Perpetuate and medicate
Before you fucking die

I love you, you're beautiful
I love you, you're beautiful
I know you think you're evil
But you're just sick

You're just sick
