First Perquisite shows are on!

June 15th 2010

It's been crazy hectic lately. Good things are going on though! I made really cool new songs with Renske Taminiau, Sanguita and Cato van Dijck (The Souldiers) for my solo album and I'm busy with the last recordings right now. Next week I will start with mixing and arranging all of the tracks.

Also the full Perquisite live band is formed! We've already started rehearsing and the first try-out shows have been booked. September 18th we'll play in Rotown, Rotterdam and September 30th we'll play in Merleyn, Nijmegen. Tickets for Merleyn are already being sold by clicking here. Expect the unexpected!

The official release party will take place in Amsterdam, after which we'll embark on a tour through Holland, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. More on that soon!

Besides all that I'm working on the film music for Mama right now, a new film by Sanne Vogel and Beri Shalmashi. The film will be premiered at the Dutch Film Festival in Utrecht this September. But more on that later!

Speaking on movie's: Carmen van het Noorden, where I composed the music for as you might now, has been selected for the 6th Jecheon International Music & Film Festival which will take place this August in Korea. Sounds interesting, right?

That's it for now. Stay tuned!

Spring Update

April 3rd 2010

It's been quiet a while but that doesn't mean nothing has been going down. My new studio is finished and I've wrote and recorded a lot of new songs the last two weeks; among them really cool new songs with Janne Schra and Jenny Lane. Stay tuned for my album; it will probably drop this October... a live tour is in preparation as well; more on that later!
Besides that I'm working on a remix for German popgroup Culcha Candela. It will probably be released somewhere this spring.
Last but not least check an online interview with me for arthouse cinema organisation Cineville right here.
Peace!

Interview in OOR magazine

January 27th 2010

An interview with me has been published in the latest Oor magazine. Check it out in the press section! Meanwhile I'm busy in the studio working on my solo record. Yesterday I've recorded with Sanguita and Urita and last week I've recorded with Torre from De Staat. Things are going pretty well and I think I'm halfway with the recordings for the album right now. I'll keep you posted!

Peace, Perq.

Welcome to my new website!

January 13th 2010

Welcome on my new website! As you can see I've posted my myspace-updates from the last four months but besides that this site is brand new!

Look around in the about-section where you can find my bio, some pictures, my video's and a press section. I'm especially happy with this section as it contains all major articles that were written about me and Pete Philly & Perquisite for the last 5 years. When you click on the thumbnails, you can read them all full screen.

The next section, discography, obviously contains my own releases but also lists the compilations where Perq or Pete & Perq tracks have been included on. Besides that it contains a complete overview of all remixes and guest-productions I did so far. When you click on a thumbnail you will see the tracklisting of each release. The tracks you can listen to are underlined. When you click on them they will automatically open in the player above.

The next category, projects, is an overview of all other stuff I did: film music, music for theatre plays and a list of workshops and lectures I did. Next is the live-section. Right now it only shows past performances since there are no upcoming shows planned yet as I'm still working on my album. When they will be booked though they will first be listed in this section. Last but not least you have the store-section and the connect-section which both speak more or less for themselves.

So... that's it! Look around and leave something in the guestbook. Thanks go out to IKSI who beatifully build this site. And to you if you took the time to read this through in these hectic times ;-) Enjoy!

BUSY IN THE STUDIO
