From the moment he heard underground rave mixtapes in the early 90's, HETTO ‘Blaster’ was captivated by the pulsating 4-on-the-floor House beat. This initial spark ignited a lifelong passion for electronic music, leading him from the dancefloor to the DJ booth and beyond. After attending his first House parties and raves, Hetto acquired two SL1200 turntables and a mixer, diving headfirst into record collecting and event organizing. Over the years, his DJ journey has taken him across local and international stages. In the Netherlands, he has performed at events such as The Trance Buddha (Amsterdam), Legalize! Streetrave (Amsterdam), Qlubtempo (Hemkade, Zaandam), Club Puma (Utrecht), Lief Festival (Utrecht), OGHF alongside Dutch house pioneer DJ Per (Ijburg, Amsterdam), The Promised Land Open Air (Spaarnwoude), and The Promised Land Winter Edition (Thuishaven, Amsterdam). Beyond Dutch borders, Hetto has graced the decks in Brazil, Switzerland, Spain, Belgium, and the UK, where he shared the stage with legendary DJ/producer Dave Randall at the Underground Dance Movement (UDM) in Bristol. Music Production and Audio Engineering Hetto's creative journey extends beyond the DJ booth into music production and audio engineering. After graduating from the School of Audio Engineering (SAE) in Amsterdam in 1998, he embarked on a 20-year career as an audio engineer for Dutch television and radio. A career highlight was composing the theme and background music for the RTL4 game show Game Time in 2002, which aired for two years. His dance music production debut came in 2010 with a remix of Alex Blanco & Natalie Parker’s Subversive Minds on Project House Recordings. The following year saw the release of his original tracks Whisper and Rock Your Body, along with numerous remixes in collaboration with Erwin Derksen as HETTO & 6ft7. These tracks, released under the Jeepers! label by UK house legend Nick Hook, gained traction, with Hetto also remixing Hook's Skanking for Little Gremlin Music. Many of Hetto’s productions were licensed to international compilation albums, including Feel The Groove (House Of House), This Is House (House Of House), Ibiza 2012 – Back To The Island (House Of House), House Code Vol. 1 (Wormland Gold), Welcome To Miami (I Like That!), and Massive Miami 2012 (Music Is The Answer).
