Over more than a decade, Tinlicker have consistently pushed boundaries in the world of electronic music, cultivating a sound that is both unique and personal. The use of real instruments, ranging from strings to keys to horns, has long been a staple of the ensemble that helps to separate their sound from more traditional dance acts. Beyond the instrumentation, their music also has an unusual and powerful propensity to evoke an array of feelings, from euphoria to sadness, and everything in between. It's music one candance to, no doubt, but it's also music that tells a compelling story. After their 2021 breakthrough with single 'Because You Move Me' (over 1 billion streams now), Tinlicker implemented some radical changes -they left their long-time label, Anjunadeep for [PIAS] and transitioned from performing purely DJ sets to a format includinglive/band performances.Risky but well-calculated choices, necessary for the next steps to realize the creative direction of the album they were working on, 'Cold Enough For Snow' (2024).The resulting LP was a masterclass in balancing innovation with quality. Reroute to remain.

Crafted by an expression of computerised soul, Tinlicker are the modern face of Dutch progressive dance music. Based out of Utrecht, the guys started their journey towards today in late 2012, always honing their sound, continually shaping their destination, creating their new ideal in music.
Initially self releasing music it wasn't long before said sound was noticed by none other than Feed Me, who was quick to sign a number of songs to his taste making Sotto Voce label. From there the ears of Zerothree tuned in and the world was given an array of head turning singles, including the irrepressible 'Maandag' early 2016. Fans of Above & Beyond and deadmau5 will be no stranger to Tinlicker, who have supported their beats many times across their live shows, Group Therapy and BBC radio shows. It's no surprise that when the time came to find a home for the 2017 hit 'Soon You'll Be Gone' Anjunadeep was quick to put their hand up. Followed by the smashing 'Because You Move Me' on Armada and the 'Jalapeño EP' on mau5trap before their 'Nothing Without You' - again on the Anjunadeep label - changed everything for the guys in 2018.
