Sonosphere is this month's release from the album GEO. A track full of tension with a lot of sonic manipulation.

Oct 2024

Industry is released in all its glory. An ambient dark atmospheric piece and probably my most coherent, unified sound to date. The atmospheric dub techno is definitely a style I will continue to revisit. 

The next album will be a more experimental collection with less emphasis on beats. The album will be called GEO and is themed on biogenesis. Check it out as each track is added.

Industry and Distance

Sides three and four of the double album Industry have now been completed. Full album is released at the beginning of July. You can find the album now on Bandcamp. If anyone reads this and wants a copy let me know and I will send you a free download code.

New project already in the pipeline. I am developing the sound I created on the single Distance. I like releasing completed sides as often the tracks will flow into one another. Distance Ochr Un is due for release in August, but of course my Soundcloud fans get to listen now.

Thanks for your continued support. Please remember to pre save, like, and share.

March 2024
Industry

Working currently on an album that has a working title, Industry. Big reverbs and delays seem to be the theme with an ethereal dream quality. The album is being written with a double vinyl release in mind, so there will be 4 sections of around 15 minutes.

Check out Industry Ochr Un and Dau for the first two sides. I expect there to be a side released once per month with full issue in July.

Please PRE-SAVE, like and share as I need all the help I can get.

Atmospherics

The latest album is called Atmospherics. It is inspired by Joachim Spieth's album Terrain. The album is built around atmospheric sounds such as thunder, rain, wind recorded on the west coast of Wales in 2023.

The idea of the album was to take these sounds and morph them with synthesised creations in the studio so that the boundary between the real and unreal becomes blurred. This was mainly achieved through the use of resonators to create floating harmonics.

The album is officially released on all streaming platforms from the 24th November. It is available to purchase right now on Bandcamp. If you have read this far then message me as I have a free download code for you.

--- Lekker Hondje Official -----

Now in all seriousness. Lekker Hondje is  a belgian girl that doesnt feel very belgian that has her roots in the hardcore house production but gave that up on that after she grew tired of the closed mindedness of the record labels/directors as she tried to explore different styles, new grooves. She tried to walk the lines that connect the different styles and tried to fade out these lines. Bring different styles to the people. In all this she is strongly influenced by artists such as 2manydj's aka soulwax, NIN, Spor, Stim Axel, Jimmy Hendriks, The chemical brothers and many others.
When she isn't working on any music business then she is probably at her 'other' job or she is playing arma2 or doing other stuffs of course. She will bring you dirthy beats (, dirthy dancing and pounding pounding techno music - hehe), good groove and catchy tunes. Remixes, mixes, mashups, probably some new own work soon. Let her take you on a trip trough the magical world of electro music and enjoy the beats.

-------------------------------------------

if you like the mixtapes then check out my mixcrate (http://www.mixcrate.com/lekkerhondje), you'll probably find more archived sets there and maybe even some newer sets that I didnt publish on my soundcloud page because I wanted the space for originals/remixes)).

Have fun!!!

There was a time when boldness was the main characteristic of youth. Young people wanted to be different, and one of the most prominent ways to be different in my day was to listen to different styles of music. It was very striking among Generation Xers, even those who belonged to more radical urban tribes. I remember well, for example, the late Jeff Hanneman, the brilliant guitarist from Slayer, saying in an interview that he loved classical music. This kind of boldness is deeply rooted in most of the guys who lived through that era. And it's a very noticeable characteristic in most artists who came from those years. The late David Bowie, for instance, embraced electronic rhythms like jungle and drum ‘n’ bass on his incredible album Earthling. Iggy Pop said in a video that he loved the then-new branch of electronic music, a genre called industrial. And the world-famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma played a version of Metallica's “Nothing Else Matters”. The examples are numerous.

Unfortunately, I have witnessed the death of this kind of boldness in the younger generations. Young people enslave themselves to a few musical styles and refuse to listen to the universe of music that exists out there.

Overdrive is a musical project that seeks to explore different musical genres — rap, classical music, techno, punk, death metal, rock ‘n’ roll, new wave, new age, a cappella, you name it. The idea is to introduce listeners to the concepts of musical freedom, musical anarchy, musical curiosity, and bold listening (to new and old styles).

It's a one-man project with the help of countless talented collaborators. So don't be surprised to see tracks of completely different styles with equally diverse collaborators — people like a brilliant English glam singer in shiny pants singing about punks on a post-punk song; or a skilled German guitarist who plays rock riffs on a drum'n bass background; a Russian female singer with an incredibly powerful voice singing a 70s rock song; a young British rapper genius who loves electro; a Danish female singer and harpist who enjoys singing pop music on a Bach background; a French reggae singer who sings disco brilliantly; and many others.

Musical eclecticism is an expression of freedom. I love Sepultura and I love Frank Sinatra. And there isn't a single day that goes by when I don't listen to music by J. S. Bach and the German thrash metal band Destruction. I truly believe that different styles talk to each other when I make music and would love to pass on some of that thinking to my fellow young musicians.
