Hesk is a Footwork DJ and producer from the Netherlands, currently based out of Toronto, playing a key role in the diffusion of Footwork and Juke in Canada since 2010. In celebration of his recent Low Key Recs release "Cleansed," He's made an exclusive FWJ mix full of cold, footwork-battle ready tracks aimed at the dancefloor. Follow the BUY link to hear the new cleansed EP!
While his  production is known for featuring Soul and RnB elements within the Footwork style, often focusing on lush chords, and smooth vocals, he pushed himself outside this comfort zone with this latest EP.

His music has been released on Loose Squares Records, Nervous Records’ Strapped sub-label, Philthtrax, Low Keys Recs, Juke Bounce Werk, and several independent labels, and includes collaborations with Teklife's DJ Earl, Boylan (Chi), Sirr TMO, DJ PayPal, Brick Bandits' Nadus, and more.

Hesk's music has been featured on BBC Radio1Xtra, XLR8R, Red Bull Music Academy (RBMA), Complex, Rinse FM, Vice (Thump), and more. He has also played global stages in the Netherlands, Belgium, and the US, playing alongside renowned artists such as DJ Deeon, Traxman, MikeQ, Jets (Machine Drum and Jimmy Edgar), Kush Jones, Rustie, and more.

He's currently hosting "Shadowban Radio" on ISO.FM, a Footwork-centric radio show showcasing internationally acclaimed artists such as DJ Manny, Sinistarr, Big Dope P.

Step into DJ Hesk's world with "2nd Realm Vol. 2," the awaited sequel to "2nd Realm." This expansive release, featuring an impressive array of 27 tracks, delves deep into the vibrant sounds of Chicago Footwork, intertwining the rhythmic complexities of Footwork with the undertones of R&B.

DJ Hesk demonstrates genre-blurring, seamlessly blending Chicago's Footwork and Juke roots with the contemporary sounds of R&B. The synthesis is enriched further by synths inspired by the works of Mamman Sani and Hailu Mergia. The result is a rich tapestry of sound that not only pays homage to the Chicago Footwork tradition but also propels it into uncharted territory.

"2nd Realm Vol. 2" is also a collaborative endeavor, featuring exciting partnerships with a diverse lineup of artists, including Paveun, Nora Zion, 2Tall, StylezTR, DJ YB, and Korea Town Acid.

Standout Tracks: "Dirty Dancin", "You" (ft Korea Town Acid), "Whoa" (ft Nora Zion), "Don't Leave Me This Way" (ft Paveun)
