Hetto

Since discovering House Music in 1993, Hetto has been caught by the '4-on-the-floor' House Beat. Soon after his first nights out at House Parties, he got himself his own SL1200's, started collecting records and got active at organising events.

This led him to quite some DJ-gigs over the years; first locally, but later throughout the Netherlands: The Trance Buddha (Amsterdam), Legalize! Streetrave (Amsterdam), Qlubtempo (Hemkade, Zaandam), Club Puma (Utrecht), Lief Festival (Utrecht) and more. He also played a few times abroad; in Brazil, Switzerland, Spain and Belgium.

In the meantime, he took his first steps at producing his own tracks, while graduating at the School Of Audio Engineering (Amsterdam) in 1998. However, due to his work as an engineer, DJ-ing and quite some production perfectionism, it lasted a long time for Hetto to being sufficiently satisfied with a track to have it released. Even though the people around him constantly tried to convince Hetto of his immense production qualities, he quite struggled a while to manage all his new inspiriations in order to finally finish a project. It turned out to be a learning curve.

As the son of a professional jazz musician and a music mistress, music has been an enormous influence in Hetto's life from childhood on. Already at the age of three, he started banging on his big brother's drumkit and proved his family to have superb musical instincts.
