Biography:
Since hearing mixtapes recorded at underground raves in the early 90’s, HETTO ‘Blaster’ has been caught by the ‘4-on-the-floor’ House Beat. 
Soon after the first nights out at House Parties and Raves, he got himself two SL1200’s and a small mixer, started collecting records and got active at organising events.
DJ-gigs over the years: many local events, and parties throughout the Netherlands like The Trance Buddha (Amsterdam), Legalize! Streetrave (Amsterdam), Qlubtempo (Hemkade, Zaandam), Club Puma (Utrecht), Lief Festival (Utrecht), OGHF with Dutch house music Pioneer dj Per (Ijburg, Amsterdam) , The Promised Land Open Air (Spaarnwoude), The Promised Land Winter Edition (Thuishaven, Amsterdam) and more. 
Hetto has also been behind the decks in Brazil, Switzerland, Spain, Belgium and in the UK, where legendary dj/producer Dave Randall headlined at the Underground Dance Movement (UDM) party in Bristol.
Music Production and audio work:
Late 90’s, he took his first steps at producing his own tracks, while graduating at the School Of Audio Engineering (Amsterdam) in 1998. 
20 years of work as audio engineer for Dutch television and radio broadcast stations followed straight after graduating at the SAE. The audio work at TV also resulted in a highlight in his career when creating the Theme and background music for television game show ‘Game Time’ in 2002. The music was used for 2 years on Dutch channel RTL4.
2010 finally saw Hetto Blaster’s first dj/producer musical output; a remix of Alex Blanco’s & Natalie Parker’s ‘Subversive Minds’, released on ‘Project House Recordings’, followed in 2011 by two original tracks – ‘Whisper’ and ‘Rock Your Body’ - and a string of remixes (see below) released as ‘HETTO & 6ft7’ (a collaboration with Erwin Derksen) on the Jeepers! Label, run by another legendary UK DJ/Producer: Nick Hook. A remix, of Nick Hook’s ‘Skanking’, came out on Little Gremlin Music.
Quite a lot of these tracks were later licensed to compilation albums, amongst which: ‘Feel The Groove (House Of House), ‘This Is House’ (House Of House), ‘Ibiza 2012 – Back To The Island’ (House Of House),  ‘House Code Vol. 1 (Wormland Gold), ‘Welcome To Miami’ (I Like That!), ‘Massive Miami 2012’ (Music Is The Answer) and others.
