The title referrs to EC's hometown Castrop-Rauxel (commonly abbreviated to just Castrop) and Kalle's residence Spandau, which is a borough of Berlin. The majority of the lyrics are catchphrases from and hints to previous EC songs and content from Kalle's channel. After appearing in the videos for Hypa Hypa and MC Thunder II (as a former dance teacher he did the choreogrphy for the dance scenes at the end of both videos) he dared EC if they could do a song for/ with him within 24 hours. So they invited him to their studio, wrote, recorded, produced and mixed Castrop X Spandau in one day and filmed the video the next day. It turned out to be such a banger that EC put it on their live show setlist. In 2023, they invited Kalle to join them for a week during the TEKKNO tour. He since released some solo material, with the help of EC's guitarist Daniel Haniß, who does the majority of their programming and production.

Nico also has a song with Kalle called "Meine Buffalos" which is also catchy It's also all in German but references a lot of things from the 90s If you want to feel even more like their best friends, you should definitely react to their vlogs! I would 100% watch that They are such fun and nice people ❤

@@StanDotsethMusic not sure if you get all the references in German, but their might be English translated lyrics somewhere Also about Kalle: he is a German KZbinr, I've known him for his gaming content before I knew Electric Callboy hahaha And his catchphrase is "Ehre Alla" which is kinda hard to translate but Ehre = Honor Alla is slang for something like "dude" So the chorus here in Castrop x Spandau is "Ehre alla, ehre alla Castrop Spandau, Ehre alle ehre alle in den Arsch" The last part basically means "Honor into the ass" 🤣 And Castrop is Electric Callboy's hometown and Spandau is the part of Berlin where Kalle and other KZbinrs (like HandofBlood the star of "MC Thunder 1 & 2) are from

There is also a overlooked gem of a song called "Welcome to Raveland" by EC. They were tasked to collect sounds and noises in an old iron hut in Germany and construct a song within 24 hours out of it. A little short but an absolute banger! The format is called "soundsof" - a German KZbin Chanel.

Castrop Rauxel is the home of EC, Kalle lives in Spandau (a district of Berlin). Kalle is a very cool sock and has already appeared in several videos, including the lead role in Arrow of Love. There is a story that this song was the result of a bet between Kalle and EC, and that EC only had one day to write and compose the lyrics. I don't know if it's true, but I wouldn't be surprised either 😂

First and foremost, hey Stan! Hope you're well. Now, onto some silly trivia. The lyrics of the song include the line "Kalle-Kalle Eskimo", a reference to the colab of Kalle and, at the time, Eskimo Callboy. So, now that they changed the name of the band, when they perform the song live, the line is now "Kalle-Kalle Electro" (not Electric, since they still needed the line to rhyme with the next).
