It has become a good old tradition for DIE KRUPPS to have an open working space inviting others to join them.

We remember the collaboration with NITZER EBB on „Machineries of Joy“, the Remix-Wars with and vs. FRONTLINE ASSEMBLY – or especially THE FINAL REMIXES, a complete new interpretation of the first two albums of the 90s KRUPPS („i“ , „The Final Option“) by acclaimed guests like SISTERS OF MERCY, NIN, CLAWFINGER or REVOLTING COCKS.

To chose artists to cooperate with as brothers in mind, has always been both locating/reflecting of their own work and reference for their musical ambitions - and not least to have fun and to realize their own preferences.

The initial idea for VKV08 was born, when DIE KRUPPS re-discovered their own classic album „Volle Kraft Voraus“ – a blueprint of EBM and Electronic Pop – as they were about to remix and remaster their archives for the original now re-released albums. Re-motivated by the charme and the lyrical impact of their early works, DIE KRUPPS were wondering about, how it sounds like if:

- Jurgen would be the singer of SPETSNAZ? – it is fun to create noise these days – there are dancefloor quakes when two hearts marching in one rhythm ….

Inspired by all those games of thoughts Jurgen Engler and Ralf Dorper were talking again to old and new musical allies. Coincidence and musical planning both combined to create a new opus destined to be released seperate to the currently re-released original albums.
