Humans evolved as group-living primates, and Africa is the place of birth of our cosmopolitan species. About 250 thousand years ago, anatomically modern Homo sapiens-populations emerged on this continent, and later dispersed all over the world.

However, Africa is not only the “mother continent“ of all the 8000 million humans on Earth living today, but also of our taste and drive for music. Accordingly, rhythm-driven Hip-Hop and Rap music-genres may represent the “evolutionary roots” of all later styles, from simple Folk & Country-songs to Beethoven’s 9th Symphony.

Accordingly, the German evolutionary biologist and professional pianist/composer Ulrich Kutschera, who has released numerous Albums consisting of NeoClassical, Symphonic Piano-Synthesizer Music, and the New York-based African-American Hip Hop-R &B-Reggae-musician D.J. Chase joined forces to generate a new Genre of modern music.

D.J. Chase (Charles Anthony Tailor), the founder of “Worldwide Soundz Records”, is a multi-award winning music producer and owner of DJ Chase Publishing LLD & the Broadcasting Station WDJC-DJ Chase Radio. He has released numerous Singles and Albums, and says that “producing music has always been my passion, not just urban music, but all kinds of music”.

Concerning the ongoing cooperation with Ulrich Kutschera, DJ Chase says: ”working with Ulrich has been not only an honor but a pleasure”. Kutschera agrees, saying that “my friend and colleague from New York is a great & gifted musician!”

On Friday, March 6-2026, the first Single EP of Ulrich Kutschera & DJ Chase was released via Music Hub (Berlin) on Streaming Platforms worldwide (Spotify, Amazon Music etc.).

Track -1, “Chase the Leech” (4.50-min), is a drums-driven mix of splendid piano-based melodic elements, with lyrics provided by DJ Chase. Track -2, “Sexy Mother leech” (3.30 -min), continues this trip into the new world of NeoClassical Piano-Rap – a blend of African Dance-rhythms, with impressive lyrics, plus sophisticated melodies reminiscent of the band “Genesis” and other famous Prog Rock-groups.

Chase the Leech will be released on March 6, 2026.
