HORIZON EP



Hailing from the Netherlands TANTRON, real name Hugo Jobse (born 2002), is rapidly gaining traction in the global drum and bass scene. From banging on pots and pans as a toddler to performing on stages worldwide, music has always been Hugo's driving passion. With his electrifying stage presence, innovative sound design and a distinctive appearance, TANTRON is known for his hyperactive performances, signature sound and iconic bucket hat. Despite only discovering Drum ‘n Bass in 2019, TANTRON quickly mastered the genre during his studies at the Rockacademie in Tilburg. Drawing on years of experience in other EDM-genres such as trap, hardstyle, and house, he refined his sound and identity throughout the pandemic. By 2023, TANTRON had already secured major achievements, including support from the Black Eyed Peas for his bootleg of Pump It and his first mainstage performance at Rampage Open Air. 2024 was the year that proved pivotal for TANTRON. Early in the year, his bootleg of Baddadan went viral, propelling his name further into the drum and bass scene. This success was followed by his first international headline tour in New Zealand, which included an interview and DJ set on George FM. Other standout releases included a collaboration with Arcando on Martin Garrix’s prestigious label, STMPD Records, as well as remixes for ShockOne and Futurebound and a debut release on AC13’s new label Alpha Circuit. To cap off the year, TANTRON released his first sample pack in collaboration with KULTURE Samples. Read more on Last.fm.
