Deichkind is a German electropunk band formed in Hamburg in 1997. Deichkind started with hip hop, later added elements of electronic dance music to its style. The band themselves call their music TechRap as a combination of techno and rap music. The songs are often satirical and criticize consumerism and the performance-oriented society. The most famous examples of this electronic-leaning hip hop sound are the three singles, Remmidemmi (Yippie Yippie Yeah) (2006), Arbeit nervt (2008), and Leider geil (2012). These three singles placed in the charts.


I joined the spontaneous show of Deichkind at Reeperbahn Festival. Before the concert there was a little mop at Reeperbahn happening, which gathered divers public to listen.
