Maeckes

Maeckes is a German rapper, producer, and multi-genre experimenter known for his witty lyricism and genre-blurring sound. Hailing from Hamburg’s vibrant hip-hop scene, he’s been a staple of the underground since the early 2000s, often collaborating with artists like Dexter (as the duo "Deichkind" in its early days) or Fatoni. His work balances self-deprecating humor, philosophical musings, and everyday observations, delivered in a conversational flow over beats that mash up indie, electronic, and hip-hop textures. Projects like "gitarren album" (2023) showcase his knack for blending acoustic warmth with glitchy production, while tracks like "Die Realität (Gerät Durcheinander)" revel in playful existentialism.

A restless creative, Maeckes frequently drops surprise releases and collaborative projects, like the "POOL" series with artists from his collective. Recent work, including "0,975" and "bucketlist," continues his tradition of turning mundane life into poetic vignettes, often with a DIY charm. Whether dissecting parenting woes or nostalgia for childhood parties (as heard on "die parties der eltern..."), he remains Germany’s laid-back bard of the beautifully ordinary.
