Podcasts & Recordings

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."

Tammo Hesselink & Mattikk at Dekmantel Selectors 2021

EOS Radio - Tammo Hesselink 04.11.2021

Day 8 ended in a wild and beasty rave where all bets were off, thanks to the crazy set of Pariah (@Pariah_UK) and Tammo Hesselink (@TammoHesselink) filled with highly danceable raw breaks. Listen back to the freaky ending of an already freaky day with crowd surfing people, shirts flying through the air and an excessively shaking stage!

@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.

Tammo Hesselink @ The Lot Radio 06 - 17 - 2022

"I tried to go for something slow in line of the halftempo tracks I did on the Mantis EP for Delsin which recently came out, with an emphasis on the brighter and warmer sides of these tempos. There's plenty of unreleased / forthcoming stuff in here including a couple by me (both solo and collabs with DYL), Aa Sudd and Human Space Machine".

Club Rooted #7 / Tammo Hesselink

Tammo Hesselink is a Dutch DJ, producer & resident at Amsterdam’s Garage Noord and has  releases on Delsin, Blank Mind, Nous'Klaer Audio and Midgar.

Tammo Hesselink likes to play around with many different rhythms. In terms of both what he makes and what he spins, he is drawn to stripped-back building blocks that allow him to get creative and find new sounds in what he combines. Whether that's the bass-driven swagger of UK sounds or the more psychedelic and loopy end of techno, what he does is mix it all into something unpredictable yet compelling.

MNMT 414 : Tammo Hesselink

1.5hr excerpt from Tammo Hesselink's 6hr set at SPIELRAUM, Dec 2019.

Tammo Hesselink at SPIELRAUM - Weekender Dec 2019

Growing up in one of the Netherlands' quieter nooks, @tammohesselink’s unwavering passion for music saw him spend countless hours of his youth in his attic, digging, researching and building up a profoundly deep knowledge and love of electronic music. Eventually, this singular passion lead Tammo out of his attic and into his local record store “Deeptrax”, where the guys behind the counter helped to refine his taste further, indoctrinating him to the sounds of Chicago, Detroit, Berlin and The Hague. Over time, Tammo very naturally found himself working at the store, where his taste continued to both deepen and expand, with a growing appreciation for a diverse range of sounds including UK-centred post-dubstep, leading to the distinctive, genre-bending approach he is known for today.

As a producer, Tammo has developed an outstanding body of work under a range of alias’ since the mid-2010’s, first releasing via his own imprint “The Invariants” before seeing his music published on famed Dutch platforms @delsinrecords and @nousklaeraudio in more recent years. Although there may be variations in sound and approach between his projects, one constant is a solid sense for warm, resonant groove which filters through the many aspects of his music - from light-hearted arpeggiated synths, to organic, intricately programmed percussion. 
Tammo carries this same quality into his DJ sets, which has enabled him to take the stage at events such as Breakfast Club and Dekmantel Selectors, and also to become a resident at the now sadly closed De School.

This rhythmically diverse mix for Patterns of Perception channels Tammo’s inimitable sound and musical insight, building from a deep, measured beginning, before gathering energy and momentum further into the mix. The result is a fiercely arresting 83 minutes of music that takes the listener on a winding narrative journey through varied and utterly compelling club music.

In my opinion, @tammohesselink is one of the most interesting DJs/ producers in the Netherlands. The @nousklaeraudio mainstay has put out a string of successful releases over the last few years, gracefully cementing his place in the European scene with a flawless DJ'ing technique, resourceful digging, and creative set-building style. His mixes always ooze an animated yet tastefully refined vibe, and i'm very happy to host the newest one here..almost two hours of bendy minimal bangers & trippy broken beats.

Thanks Tammo ! <3
