Rafael Silva Sperka is a German-Venezuelan composer who blends various forms of electronic music, with a primary focus on psychedelic tunes. He now performs under the name Recccs, a project he launched on January 1, 2024, in the German city of Kleve.

Rafael comes from a family of actors and was a successful child actor in his birth country.
 
At the age of 14, he began his musical journey, exploring multiple instruments and playing in bands.

After being expelled from several schools, he found solace in attending a lutherie workshop and learning how to beat-make.

He gained early experience in Caracas' nightclub scene, working with P.A systems, assisting in events, and contributing to the broadcasting industry.

At 17 years of age, Rafael left Venezuela due to the country's ongoing crisis and had to stop producing for several years. His journey took him across various countries, letting him live in countries such as the UK, Czech Republic, Germany, Nicaragua, and Mexico. His music reflects the diverse influences of both European and American cultures.

During his time in Europe, he trained with Yoga masters and learnt about eastern philosophies. His Brazilian friends in Germany introduced him to psy-trance music, where he discovered the connection between spirituality and psychedelic sounds. This revelation inspired him to rekindle his passion for music and dive into its creation once again.

When not performing in psychedelic rituals, Recccs is a student of agronomy, focusing on sustainability, animal welfare, and environmental issues.
