Deichkind is a German electropunk band formed in Hamburg in 1997. Initially rooted in hip hop, the band later incorporated elements of electronic dance music into their style. They describe their music as TechRap, a fusion of techno and rap. Their songs often feature satirical lyrics that critique consumerism and the performance-driven society. Some of their most famous electronic-leaning hip hop hits include the charting singles Remmidemmi (Yippie Yippie Yeah) (2006), Arbeit nervt (2008), and Leider geil (2012).

Lina Lev joined Deichkind’s spontaneous performance at the Reeperbahn Festival. Before the concert, a small “mop” (pop-up gathering) took place at Reeperbahn, attracting a diverse audience eager to listen.
