What do you get when you put a DJ, a drummer, a saxophone-player, 3 MC’s, a producer and a bunch of musical guests in a fully packed 3 by 4 studio?
A swinging and catchy interactive spaghetty with raps and singing. A hotchpotch of different musical ingredients. You name it !
Since early 1991 Def Real makes waves in the music industry. Their surprisingly catchy singles "Song without a name", "Me & the Pizza" and "Daar gaan we" made them regular guests on radio, TV and live stages. Their versatile albums called "Versatile" (fitting title!) and "Potdamn, here it is!" got them very good critics in most music magazines. From October 1995 untill the end of 1997 the "Potdamn, here it is!"-tour took the band (DJ, MC’s, drummer, Saxophone-player en various guest-musicians) through the club- and especially In 2002 Def Real added the finishing touch to their new album "Shabby Road" in their own studio. Smashing songs like "Def Real Pimpshit", the fresh tracks "How the west was won" & "Hillbilly Hop", the bluesy groove of "No, I don’t know" and the sultry "Pushin’ me" (with female guest-singer) and many other songs make their new album to be a musical trip full of alternation.
In the meantime (since their last tour) Def Real recorded the new material and tried it out on the public. This resulted in an even improved live-show containing the best new and hot old material. All executed by a 7 man band. And they might even bring some extra friends to your town. Def Real stands for certified funky live energy from a true Rap-band !
Now today in 2006, the MP3's are downloaded like crazy by Chinese fans, which is highly appreciated! In the Netherlands they have now released their hidden remix of "Here 2 Stay" which is coincidentally also the download #1 of the albums, however still as album-version.

Word! Dit is koel, bedankt voor je berichtje Patrick. Ik dacht meteen dat Def Real weer ging toeren (Mocht dat gebeuren, wie weet ben ik tegen die tijd weer beschikbaar? Je weet maar nooit.....). Goed om weer van je/jullie te horen. Ik zal mijn contactgegevens via een "message" sturen, dan kunnen weer wat contact houden. Peace n respect, John
Good to see the Deffest Releases Alliance on MySpace as well. Seems like Def Real is having a new life :D .
I'm assistant category manager music at ECI at the moment. Just new to this job, started a few weeks ago, so not much exciting to know about that yet...
