Tinlicker

About

Tinlicker, the Dutch electronic music duo of Micha Heyboer and Jordi van Achthoven, has carved a niche as one of the most evocative acts in modern dance music. Blending melancholic melodies with propulsive beats, their sound is a masterful fusion of progressive house, techno, and ambient textures. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Jon Hopkins and RÜFÜS DU SOL, Tinlicker’s music is both introspective and dancefloor-ready, a duality that has earned them a devoted global following. Since their formation in 2012, Tinlicker’s rise has been meteoric. Their breakthrough came with the 2018 remix of Robert Miles’ iconic “Children,” which catapulted them into the spotlight. Subsequent releases on Anjunadeep, including their critically acclaimed 2019 album *This Is Not Our Universe*, solidified their reputation as boundary-pushing storytellers. Their ability to weave emotional narratives into electronic compositions has resonated deeply, making them a staple in the melodic house and techno scene. Tinlicker’s cultural impact lies in their ability to balance accessibility with artistic depth. Their live performances, often accompanied by stunning visual productions, are immersive experiences that transcend traditional DJ sets. Collaborations with artists like Ben Böhmer and Nathan Nicholson of The Boxer Rebellion have further showcased their versatility. Currently, Tinlicker continues to push boundaries with their sophomore album, *Cold Enough for Snow*, and a relentless touring schedule that includes major festivals and intimate club shows alike. Their evolution as artists reflects a commitment to innovation, ensuring their place at the forefront of electronic music.
