A little history…
90% of the album "Potdamn, here it is!" was originally
recorded and mixed in the summer of 1994. Since Def
Real songs had proven to have hit-potence, the Record
company + Publishing Compacy decided to "clear" (ask
for permission to use the fragments) the samples used
on the new Def Real album. A proces which took about
¾ of a year. A time well used for finishing the extra
10% (topping) of "Potdamn,…." October 1995 the album
at last came to birth. The game plan was to release
the album first and choosing an single after the first
reactions.
The first DJ to pick up was the legendary
Rob Stenders with his sidekick Fred Siebelink. At
that time they had radio shows at Kink FM (the alternative
radio station). Soon after the release Def Real visited
Rob & Fred at Kink FM. Since Kink FM picked up "Me
& the Pizza", the record company decided to make this
the first single. Soon after that the Studio Brussels
(Belgian national Radio) picked up "Me & the Pizza",
where it even became a radio hit. After that things
speeded up for Def Real. The album tour took them
through the club- and festival scene of the Netherlands
and Belgium and got them national radio and TV exposure.
Etc. etc. etc……..
