The band first burst onto the German music scene in 2000 with their hip hop album "Bitte ziehen Sie durch".
"Noch fünf Minuten, Mutti" followed in 2002.
In 2005, Deichkind represented the German state Mecklenburg-West Pomerania in the Bundesvision Song Contest, a Eurovision Song Contest rip-off for German bands. They finished 14th from 15 entries.
MC Malte left the band in the summer of 2005, whereafter the group focused more on a style of music which they describe themselves as techrap (techno/rap).
In 2006 the album "Aufstand in Schlaraffenland" was released and Deichkind made a row of legendary performances at open air festivals in costumes fashioned out of duct tape, foil, flashing lights and inflatable toys. The song "Remmidemmi (Yippie! Yippie! Yeah!)" describes a house party that gets out of control and has become an urban hymn among German party-goers.
One of their most scandalous performances was at the Melt! festival in 2006 where the band spontaneously invited fans to join them on stage. Over 400 people jumped at the chance to party with the band to the song "Remmidemmi" (->youtube).
As of april 2008, Buddy has left the band to embark on a solo career and has been replaced by Ferris Hilton, perhaps better known as Ferris MC.
After the death of band member and producer Sebastian "Sebi" Hackert on Febuary 21st 2009, Deichkind was not sure if they will be able to continue working together. He died at the young age of 32.
But they came back in 2012 with a new release "Befehl Von Ganz Unten". Songs like "Leider Geil (Leider Geil)" und "Bück Dich Hoch" became german chart hits. 3 years later the band released their latest album "Niveau Weshalb Warum"

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wir tanzen um den Feuerberg aus lodernden CDs
Die Netzwerke sind scharfgestellt in unseren WGs
Dort fahr'n wir die Systeme hoch und wippen uns in Rage
99 Cent fürn Track verpuffen in der Blase
Die Dixie-Klos vom Hurricane schenken wir Lars Ulrich
Dort kann er gerne kacken gehen, Hacker sind geduldig
Ihr seid das Imperium und wir sind die Rebellen
Wir sind illegale, illegale, illegale Fans
Illegale, illegale, illegale Fans
Illegale, illegale, illegale Fans
Illegale, radikale, digtale Fans
Dieses Lied ist leider nicht verfügbar in ihrem Land
Unsere Antwort kennt ihr sicher, sie heißt Widerstand
6 Milliarden Terrabyte die Leitung brennt wie nie
Das hier ist kein Klingelstreich, das ist Anarchie
Fuck Saturn und MediaMarkt, euer Kaufhaus müffelt
Wir schließen eure Tore zu und schlucken dann den Schüssel.
Ihr wollt Krieg den könnt ihr haben, wir landen die Waffen
Wir sind keine Einzeltäter, man, wir sind die Massen
Wir sind illegale, illegale, illegale Fans
Illegale, illegale, illegale Fans
Illegale, illegale, illegale Fans
Illegale, radikale, digitale Fans
Wir sind neu und haben Verstand, ihr könnt uns überhaupt nichts
Wir zerbröseln eure Strategien mit jedem Mausclick
Ihr sagt wir sind verboten, weil wir zocken, stehlen, greifen
IP-Adressen sind gefälscht, wir gehen über Leichen
Ihr sagt wir sind kriminell, doch wir sind nur die User
Im Knast saugen wir weiter, Copyrights sind was für Loser
Tupac, Kurt und Marley, der Shit ist für uns alle da
Wir sind zu viel, wir sind zu nah, wir sind zu schnell, ihr könnt uns mal

The lyrics of Deichkind's song "Illegale Fans" speaks about an underground music community that rebels against the mainstream music industry by downloading and sharing illegal music with each other. The song describes a scenario where a group of music fans are dancing around a fire made of CDs, highlighting their love for music, irrespective of its legality. The song encourages a collective resistance against the mainstream music business, which is depicted as an empire that they rebel against as the "rebels."
The lyrics express the idea that music should be accessible to everyone, and that the power of music is not to be controlled by a capitalist industry. The song suggests that the illegal downloading of music is not a criminal act but an act of defiance against the corporate powers that seek to limit music access. The lyrics are also critical of people who run music stores, where most of the music available is censored, and they are portrayed as less passionate about music and more concerned with selling it to make a profit.
Overall, "Illegale Fans" is a call to action for people to stand up against the corruption of the music industry and claim the right to listen and enjoy the music they want, regardless of its legality.

Can't be the only one who doesn't understand German but loves that song
So
Illegal Fans
We're dancing round the burning mountain out of blazing CD's
the networks are armed in our flat share
We fire up the systems and are ripping in rage
99 Cent for a track deflagrate in a bubble
We give the port-a-potty's from Hurricane as a present to Lars Ulrich
He can shit in there, hackers are patient,
no power to nobody, we will not surrender,
you are the empire and we are the rebels
We are illegal, illegal, illegal fans.
Illegal, illegal, illegal fans
Illegal, illegal, illegal fans
Illegal, radical, digital fans
This song ist not avaiable in your country,
you sure know our answer, it's resistance.
6 billion terrabyte, the cables are burning like never before
This is not a ding-dong ditch, this is anarchy.
Fuck Saturn and MediaMarkt your department stores suck
We lock your doors and swallow the keys
You want war? You can get it, we arm our weapons,
we are not single ones, no, we are the masses
We are illegal, illegal, illegal fans.
Illegal, illegal, illegal fans
Illegal, illegal, illegal fans
Illegal, radical, digital fans
We are new and we have brains, you got nothing against us,
we crumble your strategies with every mouse-click
You say we are forbidden, because we gamble, steal and grab,
IP-adresses are faked, we stick at nothing
you say we are criminals, but we are just the users,
we go on with pirating in jail, copyright is for losers
2Pac, Kurt and Marley, this shit is for everyone
We are too many, we are too close, we are to fast, up yours!
Illegal, illegal, illegal fans.
Illegal, illegal, illegal fans
Illegal, illegal, illegal fans
Illegal, radical, digital fans
