2000 and One
Sleek, syncopated techno that bridges Detroit soul and European minimalism. Kinetic rhythms and warm analog stabs for late-night movement.

2000 and One is the primary alias of Dutch producer Dylan Hermelijn, a pivotal figure in the development of the Netherlands' electronic music scene since the late 1980s. Initially emerging during the first wave of acid house alongside DJ Dano, Hermelijn eventually refined his sound into a sophisticated blend of Detroit-influenced techno and contemporary European minimalism.
His work is characterized by a high degree of rhythmic syncopation, often referred to as 'machine funk,' which distinguishes him from more industrial or ambient-leaning techno peers. As the founder of Intacto Records, he has been instrumental in shaping the 'Amsterdam sound,' a style that prioritizes groove, clarity, and melodic accessibility within a functional club framework. His 2009 album 'Heritage' is widely cited as a landmark release that bridged the gap between the mid-2000s minimal trend and a more robust, soul-infused techno revival. Critical consensus highlights his technical precision and his ability to maintain a 'human' feel within purely electronic compositions.
