Tobias Rechcaught sight of a very flower power influenced world in 1975. Born into a soccerfamily, Tobias interests shifted pretty soon from lacing up his soccer shoes to skateboarding.When he was 13 years, he discovered the big and - back then - free world of skateboarding. Bored by the regular times of his training, he decided to leave that behind and to dedicate himself exclusively to his new passion - skateboarding.
He began to get involved in the electronic music scene in '92 / '93. Influenced by Sven Väth & the regular international premier league guest DJ's at the legendary "OMEN" Club in Frankfurt. He started spinning records himself in 1994.After 1st studiowork experiences with Uwe Keller, he than got deeper into this business by meeting his MENTOR Mr. Mike Glad. Together, they launched their music project 'second8-audio'.Around '95 / '96 he started working at the "DOWNTOWN RECORDS" - store in Giessen, until the end of 2001, when he decided to focus more on university and to get a distant view to the music scene after being part of it for almost 10years. The creative break of 2 years had to come to an end & his passion, THE MUSIC, got him back!From 2004 to 2007 Tobias Rech was working as a SALESMAN for DOMESTIC & EXPORT SALES for NEUTON MEDIA DISTRIBUTION in Offenbach am Main.During this job Mr.Rech got in touch with a lot of various professionals within the global electronic music scene. Some of these relations shifted pretty soon towards friendships. Meeting NILS HESS from EUKATECH RECORDS / RUBIQUE MUSIC LONDON (about whom Tobias Rech says that he is one of the coolest guys he ever met in his life) had the effect that today Tobias Rech is a regular guest performer at some of the finest events and venues the city of LONDON is offering! For example THEE sunday night party in london called RETOX at Sosho in Shoreditch, number 2 Tabernacle Street, has been hosting Mr.Rech 5 times so far!
Another real deep relation Tobias Rech has to London, is the KLIK- KLAK - KOLLEKTIVE - CREW, around no other than DJ MURF one of LONDONS TECHNO PIONEERS who once was called "LONDONDS UNDERGROUND E-MUSIC STALWART" by another legend called - MIXMASTER MORRIS - and who was the resident DJ together with MR.C at the legendary THE E N D - CLUB in LONDON in the early ninetees. At the moment the KLIK - KLAK - KOLLEKTIVE Boys are focussing on the next step further - founding their own label which going to be called MONG_trax and it's launch is planned within 2007...
Also very good friends of Tobias RECH are AJ & CAT from WWW.SUNLIGHTTRUST.ORG Radio's "THE UNDERGROUND DANCE SHOW" who invited Mr.Rech for hosting a RadioShow which is currently under construction and soon will be ready to go "ON AIR"...2006 Lea Kappler from D E K A D E N T Bookings & Events showed her interest in MR.Rech's music after hearing him play at CLIMAX INSTITUTES in Stuttgart. LEA is a damn cool and very kind music scene professional-lady and she fortunately decided to help Mr.Rech with taking care of his booking matters. Even DEKADENT is still a very young agency, Lea & Sascha (her 2nd half) are doing a proper job and you can be sure that we will definitively hear the name DEKADENT much more often in the near future when it comes to quality dance-events!Looking back at the last years, Mr. Rech brought his unique kind of extraordinary kickin music to almost every wellknown club in Germany:
( TRESOR - Berlin, U 60311 - Frankfurt, STAMMHEIM - Kassel, etc.)as well as numerous international performances! To name a few of these:
