Berlin-based music visionaries KITSCHKRIEG return with their latest track/visual MAD ABOUT YOU, featuring rising East London-based singer/songwriter Dré Six, released via SoulForce Records
Following the success of their recent albums German Engineering 1 and German Engineering Zwei, KITSCHKRIEG have been making waves in both the UK and US underground scenes, collaborating with the likes of Nemzzz, ARZ, SwitchOTR, Stefflon Don, Skillibeng, Midas the Jagaban, and SL in the UK, as well as Future, Mariah the Scientist, Hunxho, Fridayy, 2Rare, Dusty Locane, KenTheMan, Anti Da Menace and Anycia across the pond. Back on UK soil, they continue solidifying their reputation as tastemakers with ‘Mad About You,’ a genre-blending fusion of R&B and electronic music. Dré Six, known for his introspective and self-aware approach to R&B, effortlessly glides over KITSCHKRIEG’s euphoric, skippy production, creating a track that’s both soulful and sonically captivating.
Dré Six has been steadily carving his lane with his raw, uncompromising lyricism that reflects the complexities of inner-city life. His storytelling and tender vocal delivery have earned him praise from Skepta, Complex, and COLORS. His debut EP, ‘Trap Blues’, was a striking mix of UK Rap, Drill, and Trap infused with Indie Blues, an introspective body of work that vividly depicts his journey. The project featured the breakout single ‘Light & Dark’, which has surpassed 1 million streams on Spotify. Dré’s distinct sound has already led to major career milestones, including a COLORS performance, a collaboration with UK grime pioneer and artist Skepta and a feature on Brit-nominated rapper K-Trap’s acclaimed album ‘Smile?’. Since their formation in 2014, KITSCHKRIEG have redefined Germany’s sonic and visual landscape. Known for their minimalist aesthetic and contrast-heavy black-and-white imagery, they draw inspiration from Berlin’s electronic music scene and Soundsystem culture. With over a billion streams to their name, they have also left a mark on fashion, launching a nationwide collaboration with Carhartt. Their critically acclaimed 2020 debut album featured two No.1 platinum singles – ‘Standard’ and ‘Unterwegs’ – solidifying their status as one of Germany’s most forward-thinking collectives. Their success at home has paved the way for international recognition as they continue to push creative boundaries and collaborate with some of the most respected names in underground music.
KITSCHKRIEG’s recent projects, ‘German Engineering 1’ and ‘German Engineering Zwei’, showcased a masterful blend of UK and US Rap, Garage, and Hip-Hop, seamlessly fusing new-school energy with old-school influences. These releases earned widespread acclaim, with support from BBC 1Xtra’s Sian Anderson and DJ Target, Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, Clash Magazine, COLORS, Wonderland, Notion, and GRM Daily. Their collaboration with Dré Six on ‘Mad About You’ further proves their ability to connect with emerging UK talent, crafting a fresh, electrifying sound that bridges scenes and genres.
