Bayern Munich can claim their fourth consecutive Bundesliga title by defeating Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday, and they’ve handed over the keys to their Snapchat account to German electronic music producer Paul Kalkbrenner to document the action.

While Pep Guardiola and his Bayern squad came under intense scrutiny following their 1-0 defeat to Atletico on Wednesday, they’re expecting a celebratory mood following their tilt against fifth-placed Gladbach.
Bayern are looking to become the first team in German history to win a fourth straight league title, and they’ve turned to a national icon in Kalkbrenner to liven the mood. Perhaps the greatest kept secret of German electronic music, Kalkbrenner is an artistic genius that enjoys wide acclaim in his native country, as well as throughout Europe.
Kalkbrenner’s latest album, 7, was released in 2015 and peaked at the top of the album charts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. As well as being known for a phenomenal live act onstage, as opposed to performing DJ sets, Kalkbrenner is also widely praised in Germany for his role as the main character DJ Ickarus in the film Berlin Calling.

Kalkbrenner grew up in Berlin, but he's a massive football fan and frequently wears his varied collection of global kits during live performances. Fans of the German producer include Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker, who joined Kalkbrenner on tour after winning the World Cup, and Bastian Schweinsteiger.
