about

Tammo Hesselink’s “Naturally Occurring” EP drops on Redstone Press like a plunge into a frozen lake, delivering a masterclass in ice-cold machine funk. It's evident throughout that Tammo has honed and refined every sonic element, resulting in tracks with clarity, poise and purpose.

“Semika” opens the release with pure, heads-down, sound-system techno, equal parts heavy yet restrained. The weighty, rolling drums and pulsating sub-bass collide with layers of biting, strobing synths, creating an instinctive sense of dread that sets the tone going forward.

The title track “Naturally Occurring” offers a brief respite in intensity, dropping the tempo and introducing calming, contemplative pads and metallic percussive elements. However, any semblance of tranquillity is swiftly shattered by the arrival of staccato vocal chops and a stripped-back dancehall-esque beat which exhibits Tammo’s flair for minimal yet deliberate compositions.

“Butter Hands” is more ominous, with rolling sub-heavy kicks building into ethereal technoid synths and percussion that hover threateningly. The track is propelled forward with a broken-beat techno rhythm creating a hypnotic, paranoia-inducing and all-encompassing atmosphere.

“Lattice” closes out the release with a more groove laden beat, accompanied by woozy, playful synth lines. The mechanical percussive elements evolve constantly, weaving intricate patterns and adding depth and complexity to the mix, all whilst retaining the weighty bass foundation and techno-bleeps found in the previous tracks.

The EP finds Tammo in deadly form and showcases a producer with an innate talent for producing work that is both boldly minimal yet packed with detail.

This just further cements tammo as one of the best in the game right now. Fantastic record and good vinyl master/pressing (would have loved to see sides labeled at least with A/B/C/D however, had to sticker them myself). Nico N.
