My life, a lot. More and more I see how the music I made in the past was a projection of stages and parts in my life. Great inspirations are/were my love-life, my interests (such as spirituality, lucid dreaming) and the way I feel and the way I live. Just like me, my music has changed over the years, it's a way of expressing emotions and feelings, unconsciously most of the time.
Jungle: Stakka & Skynet, Pendulum, High Contrast, Photek, TheMasterE, Andy C
Metal: Nevermore, In Flames, Herfst, Thurisaz, Experience from For Less
Also check out the music of some friends: Pride MC is a promising local rapper, and along with his partner-in-crime Monsieur Connard they stand for wicked beats and hiphop with a deeper meaning. Pay special attention to 'Dromen', a personal favourite.
ZeBig! is a schoolmate who surprised me with the fact that he's been producing for a good two years now. With a very strong musical feel his productions can't just be put aside, and it's definately worth taking a look at his myspace!
Just to start with: Thank you for passing by! Definately check out the songs that are on here, and leave a comment or two about them. I'm very excited about receiving comments and I appreciate it as long as there's information inside your comment :-) (you can like it or not, but please tell me what's right or wrong with the song)
I'm Thomas Bodequin, for the moment calling myself Rekka, but I'm seriously thinking about changing that name into something more wicked and fitting. I produce jungle, techno, lounge, whatever else comes up in me, with FL Studio. I've started doing so quite a while ago, and recently got back into it completely.
I live in the rather rural Wevelgem, and reside in the rather non-rural Antwerp during the academic year (I'm at university).
However, don't let this information distract you: I have the characteristics of an inhabitant of... none... I'm simply myself, and my music is itself as well. So if you want to complain about genre or something, just don't bother doing so because it won't ever fit perfectly into any existing genre ;-).
And about the influence thing: Of course a lot of other producers and artists influence me, but it should never mean I'm trying to recreate what others did before. Cheers everyone, feel free to contact me on thomasb@hotmail.com, I'll always be happy to help you.
