What is the meaning of life in the grand scheme of things? Considering the vastness of the universe and our infinitesimally small place within it... Yet, it is not devoid of meaning, and music is the reason why!

He draws the best aspects of the analog and digital realms, whether with the raw energy of electro, the dark pulse of EBM, the avant-garde post-punk and wave, or ever evolving ambient.

‘’ Born in the city of Breda, The Netherlands, Tim developed an early interest in music through his father’s influence and record collection.
Curious and eagerly listening to albums from the likes of Pink FLoyd, The Doors, a wide range of 60’s and 70’s alternative rock bands, and touching on electronic artists like Depeche Mode and Enigma, the foundation was layed out to scratch the surface and listen to what’s underneath the ordinary.


A clubber at heart, Tim has done his research on the dancefloor for almost two decades. In search for new possibilities varying from stripped back house to minimalistic dubs, he became a regular in Breda’s house and minimal scene warming up rooms with his vision and sound.

Tim began working on his own music around 2011 and has established a catalogue on labels such as Capodopere (RO),Valioso (DE) and Conceptual Records (MO)

He played classic Dutch clubs like Catwalk (Rotterdam) Pand 48 (Groningen) TWSTD cafe (Amsterdam) Dock 154 (Utrecht) and Luxor (Arnhem) whilst also getting booked abroad playing at Nachtsalon (Marburg Germany) the legendary Djoon Club (Paris France) and the infamous East London afterparty Keep On Going. 

As life’s journey continues and inspiration is gained from additional sources, his sound evolved in a more downbeat, electronic and chilled out fashion, coming full circle back to the influence from his father’s record collection.’’
