biography

Falk Schacht came into contact with hip-hop culture in 1983 at the age of nine by doing breakdance . Six years later, at the age of 15, he turned to disc jockey and founded the band Walking Endustries .

Since he was dissatisfied with the media coverage of hip-hop at the time, he wrote a column for the music magazine Intro in 1994 , in which he dealt with young hip-hop up-and-coming bands. Since then he has worked as an author for music magazines such as Wax Poetics, Jazzthing, Lodown Magazine , Backspin, Word and The Message.

In 1996 he released the first record of his band Walking Endustries entitled Relaxation II - The Era of 'mental HipHop , a mixture of hip-hop and trip-hop . In the course of the following years he began to produce under the name Hawkeye for other artists, for example for Curse , Ferris MC , Canibus or Grand Agent.

In 1997 Schacht began working as an editor and presenter on the Da Flava radio show in Hanover. Together with the Ponton European Media Art Lab , who tried to make interactive television with Van Gogh TV as early as the early 1990s , one year later, as editor and presenter, Falk developed the first German Internet television program on the subject of hip-hop with the Name IV Real .

From 2001 onwards, Schacht worked as editor and presenter of the Supreme program on VIVA Zwei . After VIVA Zwei was converted into VIVA Plus in 2002 , he switched to VIVA to work as editor and presenter of the hip-hop show Mixery Raw Deluxe . In the same year, he also began to write a monthly column entitled The Last Word in the hip-hop magazine Juice , which is about suggestions for discussion in the German hip-hop scene.

As a moderator and co-editor for KiKA in 2003, he realized a four-part series on the four components of hip-hop culture. In the same year he also moderated a DVD for the Goethe Institute , which is used in German lessons at American and Canadian schools.

Since 2005 he has been responsible as a producer for the program Mixery Raw Deluxe , which he presented on VIVA . An online version of the program has been available on the Internet since November 2006.

In addition to his work as a journalist, he also worked as a freelancer in the A&R department from 2006 to 2009 and as an executive producer at the Cologne record label Melting Pot Music . In an interview in 2009 he announced that this position is currently "dormant".

Schacht also worked as a consultant for the Federal Agency for Political Education as a speaker in panel discussions on the subject of youth (culture) between entertainment and violence at the Center for Art and Media Technology in Karlsruhe or as a moderator of panel discussions on topics such as society, youth and hip-hop . There are also lectures and lectures at universities and media academies on topics such as hip-hop or music culture and television.

Falk Schacht is the protagonist of the Mockumentary Blacktape by Sékou Neblett , published in 2015 .

Since 2017 he can be heard with the German rap journalist Jule Wasabi on the BR podcast "Schacht und Wasabi: der Deutschrap Podcast". The content is about current topics and developments in Deutschrap . In addition, "The Falk Schacht Show" began on BR in November 2017.
