DJ Bobo is one of the fundamental euro-dance music producers in the 90's. His tracks like: Keep On Dancing, Somebody Dance With Me, Take Control, Let The Dream Come True, Love Is All Around, Freedom was and still are joy for a spirit. All the music, always was sounds perfectly, so boldly we can say that he was a profesionalist from the beginning of his career. I need to mention about all the talented vocalists like a: Emel Aykanat, Lisa Abbott, Natascha Wright and many many else...
All his songs are reminds me of my childhood. When I'm listening it I feel like a 10-15 years ago, that's amazing.

12-15 years ago his beats were awesome. It was eurodance, which we, those who experienced it back then, when it sounded interesting, know 95% of the time was just fun and harmless feel-good music...Eurodance was music for very young souls, and that's exactly what DJ BoBo used to stand for. His 1994 album "There Is A Party" is probably one of the best examples of "classic" eurodance music. His 1996 "World In Motion" was somewhat of a departure from the popularity-declining eurodance stream, but retained some of its electronic appeal. Finally, 1998's "Magic" is the last Bobo album worth mentioning, as every next album since then was worse and worse and worse. His latest album, "Vampires" is a plain musical abomination.
But anyway...He was an artist of the 90s and his work during that time is what he'll be remembered for. And he belongs to the young people of the 90s. Those who listened to Bobo after his golden era really missed something and it's unprobable that they'll ever like any of his music. But then again, these are other times, with Bobos of their own.
Oh, and don't listen to those pretending Bobo was sh*t from the very beginning. They either were too old for his music, either first listened to his music 10 years too late, either are ignorant hypocrites who like to bash things (yeah, we get a lot of those lately). I repeat: it was music for very young souls. Trust me: those who were kids 15 years ago will most probably always keep a nice, nostalgic memory of DJ Bobo. I know I do.
