This week we’ve the pleasure of welcoming another undeniable talent of our hometown scene, Tammo Hesselink. Tammo has been releasing some pretty exciting and forward-thinking music over the past few years, operating under several pseudonyms like Melatonin Man and Dewemer, as well as his real name. Fresh from debuting his first full length live show at Amsterdam’s beautiful Muziekgebouw space, we caught up with him to hear about the show, his strong connection to Nous’Klaer Audio and his hope for the Dutch scene post-corona. Furthermore he graced us with a full-throttled mix that resembles his energetic and eclectic approach during steamy club hours.

Interview

Oddysee 032 | 'Middle of Float' by Tammo Hesselink

Recording of Tammo Hesselink & Mattikk's set at Dekmantel Selectors 2021.

"Playing a b2b set together is very different to the DJ sets we play solo. We've been clubbing together for over 10+ years and when we play together, it's really a melting pot of all these dancefloor moments we enjoyed together. Especially after such a long time of not hearing music on loud sound systems, it was big, big fun to play out a peak-time set like this in front of people you haven't seen for such a long time."

@tammohesselink has always been enthralled by rhythm. He explores the unknown areas in between the UK's broken beats and hypnotic trans-Atlantic techno. Hailing from a small town, he did things himself to start with and soon turned heads with his respected The Invariants label. After that began to get wider attention for its spacious and supple sounds, he went on to become a regular on Nous'klaer Audio and has just minted another new label, Real View Memory. The first EP, Borrowed Wheels, touches on percussive techno abstractions, halftime drum & bass and deep, atmospheric bass. 

All of that comes out in this week's mix. It is a 90-minute showcase of Tammo's ability to lay down body-popping rhythms. Sometimes they are silky and seductive and worm their way deep into your psyche, at others that are heavy, upfront and smack you over the head. The skillful balance between the moments of airy suspense and dense, unrelenting drums is what makes this selection so compelling.

Dekmantel Podcast

Dekmantel Podcast 376 - Tammo Hesselink

We are pleased to present the second installment for our Orbita mix series. This time we have Lopar, straight from the mountains of central Colombia in the city of Manizales where he is working on bringing proposals that he considers of great artistic value. Navigating worlds of sound from ambient, dub, minimal to the deepest and most hypnotic and mental spheres of electronic music. 
His talent as a DJ has allowed him to perform alongside renowned international artists and he has contributed mixes & podcasts to major labels and platforms of our scene.

Our paisa friend guides us through his mix with a steady groove, drifting from club-friendly bangers to mental trip eleganza. Lopar hails from a land of ancient spiritual connection with nature, both terrestrial and cosmical, we like to believe that he purveys a sense of residual mysticism and tribalism throughout his musical language.

We are excited to see what Lopar has in store for us next! Stay tuned ;)

3am In the Woodland (dj set)

Are we past it? No. Mid to late 30's, surround by the new age kick drums and psy leaning disco kids, people asking are we cops on dance floors, has time caught up with us, the knees are quaking, kids in the making, where to next, all the walls have caved in, only The Oracle and the troops remain in. Hand picked sessions of the future are meant to decrease our anxiety, sleepless nights no more, a new age? or a buried devotion?. 

I've known The Oracle for nearly 13 years. The first time I met him he kicked me out of his apartment. There has been many people he has influenced, motivated, quick pep talk at the front left, don't worry about it mate. If there is ever a problem you just book in to see The Oracle and he will tell you what to do, the right thing. Walk in to his house and he's just sitting there, he already knows the question before you ask, "get an uber bud."

I've shared many dance floors with the Oracle, but not as many as I would have liked. He is an educated mainstay on dance floors from Europe, to Naarm, to Japan, to Scandinavia. A cosmic traveller, a pirate, a therapist, his musical knowledge runs deep. We have contrasting music tastes but we often meet at certain points and this mix is hopefully one of those places. Since we've been closer I've been thinking about this mix. 
This mix is for Faheem.
