Their name is both a tribute to the early hip hop group Boogie Down Productions and a reference to the child's play room (German: Kinderzimmer) in the parental house of von Holtum, in which the first two albums were conceived.
Textor's mother, Lena Möllerström, was a Swedish jazz singer, while his father, Günther von Holtum, was a classically trained drummer, so music was a constant element of daily life in the von Holtum household, leading to a jazz influence which can be heard in many Kinderzimmer Productions tracks.
The Stranglers had already agreed to the sample being used, but their record company invoked its exclusive rights to it regardless, and the original album can no longer be distributed.
It was re-released in 1998 under the name Die Erste, with the uncleared sample in "Back" replaced by a distinctively off-key piano melody played by Textor.
Textor's sing-speak is marked by high speed, complicated sentence constructions and the occasional use of foreign words and technical terms.
