Tammo Hesselink

Hesselink has been deeply rooted in the vital Amsterdam scene for years now. Almost right from the off he headed down his own path by setting up The Invariants, a production alias and label which soon got a reputation as a well-respected project known for supple and spacious house and deeper techno works. It caught the attention of the taste-making Delsin who went on to distribute it, and since then he has explored everything from acid-laced house to sci-fi techno under a number of different monikers. But now he releases under his own name, confident that he is getting his own personal message across just as he would like. His sound is still inspired by the post-dubstep sounds and hi-fidelity techno that first got his attention many years ago but with his own distinctive and trance-inducing twist. A flurry of EPs in recent years has explored floating breakbeats and fluttering future rhythms, meticulously designed percussive loops and futuristic sound designs that seem to twist metal and melt glass, all with heavy bottom ends anchoring dancers to the floor.
