HERE ARE THE TOP 10 ARTISTS WHO SOUND LIKE TINLICKER
While Giorgia borders closer to techno than the progressive sounds of Tinclicker, the pure amount of energy she brings to the table and the journey she takes her listeners on throughout each set makes the two acts an easy comparison.
And with the ever-blending of genres between techno and progressive, I’m sure that Giogio’s music would fit right into any popular Tinlicker set.
Anden’s scope of production prowess has been on fire for well over three years, reaching its apex when Yotto took these two brother under his wing and brought their career to new heights.

ARTBAT’s signature sound is of a hammering kick and minimalistic melodies that somehow evoke heart pulling emotions.
Both group’s music transports you through waves of dark emotions and delivers in a truly impactful ways.
This duo’s (I’m sensing a trend here) has a propensity for exploring the extremes.

WHAT GENRE OF MUSIC DOES TINCLICKER PLAY?
The majority of Tinlickers releases would be categorized under the genre of progressive house but some of their more laid back tracks could fit well under the deep house umbrella. Their song ‘Because You Move Me’ is a perfect example of a track like this.
Progressive House found its start in the late 90s when the rave scene was dominated by distonal synth shots and break-beat rhythms. Progressive house was a direct counter to the, as progressive house focused more on the melodies of the track than on the founding rhythms.
