## History

### Debut (2012–2017)

Tinlicker started as a solo project of Micha Heyboer (born 14 May 1979 in Utrecht, The Netherlands) on his own Zero Three Zero label, beginning with the release of the *It's My First Time Here* EP (7 December 2012) and the subsequent release of the *Remember The Future* demo compilation (8 April 2013).[1]

Through a mutual contact, Jordi van Achthoven (born 4 June 1983 in Gouda, The Netherlands) connected with Micha in 2014. Both artists were inspired by [Paul Kalkbrenner](/source/Paul_Kalkbrenner), [Trentemøller](/source/Trentem%C3%B8ller), and [Moderat](/source/Moderat). They decided to continue as a duo and started working with Feed Me's Sotto Voce label. They released three EP's with Feed Me: *Like No Other* (1 December 2014), *Into The Open* (14 April 2015), and *The Space In Between* including "Oudegracht" (4 September 2015). The latter garnered significant online attention.[2]

Toolroom sublabel Zerothree released "Maandag" on 5 February 2016. [Above & Beyond](/source/Above_%26_Beyond_(group)) premiered it on their Group Therapy radio show.[3] Later in 2016, Zerothree released the *Automatic* EP, including "In All The Fire", which premiered on Data Transmission.[4]]

### Anjunadeep, *"This Is Not Our Universe"*, and *"In Another Lifetime"* (2017-2023)

Tinlicker began 2017 with "Soon You'll Be Gone", their debut release on Anjunadeep.[5] Later in the year, Tinlicker signed a deal with booking agency David Lewis Productions,[6] who booked them a show on the mainstage of Mysteryland.[7] "[Because You Move Me](/source/Because_You_Move_Me)" was released by Armada[citation needed] and with the *Jalapeño* EP, their collaboration with the label of [deadmau5](/source/Deadmau5) got a follow-up.[8] "Nothing Without You" and remixes for Lane 8 and Gabriel & Dresden settled Tinlicker as an Anjunadeep act in 2018.[9] They returned on mau5trap with the *About You* EP[10] and a collaboration with Lane 8[11] before signing an album deal in London with Anjuna.[12]

Introduced by the singles "Lost", "Breezeblocks", and "Need You",[13] the *This Is Not Our Universe* full-length album,[14] featuring vocals by [alt-J](/source/Alt-J), Run Rivers, Thomas Oliver, and Belle Doron,[15] was released on 27 September 2019 and reached number 1 on the dance album charts in the United States, Australia, India, Canada, and Finland[16] and number 2 in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Poland.[17]

Spring 2020 saw the release of the *This Is Not Our Universe* remixes, with album tracks reworked by Dosem, Joris Delacroix, and Grum.[18] Tinlicker perform worldwide and host their own bi-monthly Remember The Future club night in their hometown of Utrecht at the venue [TivoliVredenburg](/source/TivoliVredenburg).[19] Other 2020 highlights[20] were the release of the *Paradise* EP on Astralwerks[21] and the remix of the [Robert Miles](/source/Robert_Miles) classic "Children", which reached the number 1 position on Beatport in November.[22] In early 2021, Tinlicker released a collaboration with Ben Böhmer on Anjunadeep.[23]

The duo's second album, *In Another Lifetime*, was released on 18 February 2022.[citation needed]

### *"Cold Enough for Snow"* and move to PIAS (2023-2025)

They also announced that this will be their first release on the [\[PIAS\] Électronique](/source/PIAS_Recordings) label, departing Anjunadeep.[24] *Cold Enough For Snow* was released on 16 February 2024 and includes songs with [Brian Molko](/source/Brian_Molko), [Tom Smith (Editors musician)](/source/Tom_Smith_(Editors_musician)) and [Circa Waves](/source/Circa_Waves).
