Tinlicker

Tinlicker is a Dutch electronic music group from Utrecht comprising Micha Heyboer, Jordi van Achthoven, and Hero Baldwin. Formed in 2012, the project is associated with melodic house and has built an international profile as a live and festival act alongside its recorded output.

Since forming, Tinlicker has released music through a range of electronic labels. Their catalogue includes releases on [PIAS] and Anjunadeep, and they have also worked with Armada. These label associations place the group within a strand of contemporary electronic music that intersects melodic house with broader progressive and club-oriented sounds, while remaining rooted in the Dutch scene.

Tinlicker’s activity has extended beyond studio recordings into major festival circuits. They have appeared at large-scale events across Europe and North America, including Coachella, Pinkpop Festival, Creamfields, Sziget Festival, Tomorrowland, and Ultra. The breadth of these bookings reflects a touring footprint that spans both mainstream multi-genre festivals and long-running electronic-focused gatherings.

In addition to the labels cited in general summaries of their work, Tinlicker’s releases have also been associated with imprints such as Filth on Acid, Cercle Records, and Play It Again Sam. Across these outlets, the group has maintained a steady presence in melodic house and adjacent electronic styles while operating as a three-member act based in Utrecht.
