… some songs have a story behind them that give them that special angle – and thats actually the case with earth (the real..):
The track was written and recorded deep in a forest in the little cottage Ückeritz on the island of Usedom, Northeastern Germany, where Al Haca moved their studio for a two week long recording session. This is the same session that unleashed the monstrous bass anthem 126 (soon to be out on Bomb Mitte).
On a rainy summer day as Al Haca’s MCC + RQM and Tolcha’s Rasda were sketching out a new beat, a drenched mushroom picker showed up at the door and asked if he could come inside and wait untill the rain passes. His name was Danlok Backson, a Japanese Australian 30 year old travelling thru Europe for “no particular reason” as he put it himself.
In a matter of minutes Danlok adjusted himself to the Al Haca ways and about an hour later as he was sipping on a Lübzer brew and smoking a likkle something pretty much came up with the entire earth lyrics in one freestyling outburst. All the fellas had to do now was have him record some extra doubles and then arrange the joint. Everyone agreed the track was a certified banger. The only problem was that stylistically it didn’t really fit into the spectrum of sound of either the new Al Haca or the new Tolcha records. But since this track needed to be heard they decided to call the project ÜTZ short for Ückeritz and release it on Meta Polyp records as soon as possible.
The project was sealed with a Stereotyp remix (Al-Haca’s partner in crime) – a collosal reinterpretation of the original. And as for Danlok, the only evidence of him is his vocals and an email address that doesn’t work, scribbled on a Tolcha record release flyer before he bounced.
