Alden Tyrell (NL)

For more than a decade, Dutchman Alden Tyrell has been tirelessly crafting away on a range of electronic sounds. Recalling the motifs of Detroit and Chicago clubs and radio stations gone by, combining robotic basslines with rich synth lines and doing it all alongside peers like I-F and Legowelt, it's not too bold to say Tyrell is one of the leading names in his field, despite his modest claims only to "push buttons until I hear something that rocks."
