DJ Reci-P

In 1988 at the age of 9 he got his first taste of Hip-Hop music when his big brother came home one day with 3 audio tapes – Big Daddy Kane/The Geto Boys/N.W.A – After hearing the tapes he was instantly drawn into the Hip-Hop culture. His brother would come from school to find little Reci-P in his bedroom nodding his head rapping the lyrics of the songs...............In 1995 when he was 16 years old he purchased his first set of turntables a pair of Pro 150 Belt-Drive Turntables and a Kam mixer!. In this year he also began college studying Catering and worked 3 nights a week in a restaurant. Every Friday on payday he would go into the city and spend half his wages, sometimes more on records...........................After leaving college he went to work in a restaurant full time as a Chef . He would make mixtapes at home and take them to work and play them on the stereo in the kitchen in which many of his work colleagues would ask for copies of the mixes to play to friends and at home he was also asked to dj at a number of parties for friends. This is when the name DJ Reci-P (recipe) was born......................In 2000 Dj Reci-P and two friends packed there bags to go work in The Netherlands for what was supposed to be for 3 months. He quickly became accustom to relaxed and liberal lifestyle of the Dutch and decided to stay in The Netherlands. In 2003 after a 3 year break from the wheels of steel Reci-P decided to get back in djing and purchased a pair of turntables not stopping there he also purchased a set of CD decks due to the fact in his 3 year break he had accumulated over 400 cd’s and immediately began recording mixtapes which he gave to friends and local bars and clubs. He started djing a couple of times a month at some local clubs and coffee shops in Eindhoven and began to build a reputation for himself as a good party and Hip-Hop Dj with a great track selection, which resulted in him getting booked for dj sets in bigger clubs and venues in almost every major city in The Netherlands including Amsterdam/Eindhoven/Rotterdam/The Hague and the list goes on.....................By 2005 Dj Reci-P was being booked for dj sets in many European countries like Belgium/Germany/France and is now a regular on the european circuit aswell as being resident dj at 2 clubs............Dj Reci-P has also been support/warm up dj for live shows in the UK and The Netherlands for many USA/UK artists including :Big Daddy Kane/ Method Man/ Redman /Krs-One /Kool G Rap/ Skinnyman/ DJ Vadim/ Busy Bee and many more.......................What makes Dj Reci-P stand out from a lot of other Hip-Hop dj’s is his impressive blending skills, live mash up’s and the ability to combine a selection of UK and USA Hip-Hop from Commercial to Underground to rock a crowd!
