dicht & ergreifend

Their career began by chance. Fabian and Michael met at a hip-hop jam and moved from Lower Bavaria to Berlin at the end of the noughties to work and study. More as a joke, they produced the song "Zipfeschwinga" under their stage names Urkwell and Dutti as "dicht & ergreifend" in 2014. The video for the single went so viral that the duo couldn't keep up with the requests for concerts. The only problem: they had no other songs. Thanks to crowdfunding, they financed their first album "Dampf der Giganten", which reached number 4 in the German hip-hop charts. With political songs such as "Ned dahoam", "Weydundagang" and "Imma no", in which they take a clear stance against discrimination and xenophobia, the band proved that their songs are more than just irrelevant Bavarian folklore.

After "Ghetto mi nix o" (2018), their third album "Es werde Dicht" was released in 2023. They produced their most elaborate music video to date for the title track of the same name - with a dystopian view of the year 2473. dicht & ergreifend will return to the Olympic Hall on 25 October 2025 with Kofelgschroa as support. They now have enough songs for a rousing concert.
