Heijmat | ‘Lost & Found’

Heijmat, a solo artist from the Netherlands known for his alternative electronic style, drops his latest EP, Lost & Found. This EP serves as a testament to Heijmat’s prowess in crafting infectious and vibrant synth-driven soundscapes. Driven by a profound connection to human emotions and experiences, Heijmat’s artistry invites listeners on a journey of introspection, encouraging them to explore their own inner landscapes through his evocative compositions.

Having established himself as a sought-after producer for artists such as Jack Parow, Kraak & Smaak, MEAU, and Merol, Heijmat is now making waves with his own musical endeavours. His distinctive sound, characterized by rich analogue synths and captivating rhythms, has garnered praise and secured placements on curated playlists across Spotify and Apple Music.

Seamlessly blending elements of ambient, techno, and downtempo, Heijmat’s sonic palette blurs genre boundaries, reflecting a diverse array of musical influences. Under the creative direction of the esteemed multi-platinum mixing engineer and producer Huub Reijnders, Heijmat’s music offers a blend of cinematic electronic arrangements reminiscent of Bicep and Bonobo, alongside forays into electronic-pop featuring guest vocalists with catchy hooks.

Reflecting on the EP, Heijmat explains, “Lost & Found is about reconnecting with the love of making music myself; I’ve been producing other artists for 20 years now, but the desire to make the music that is 100% my own has come back, and in full swing. The title track came out in just one afternoon, after lingering in my thoughts for weeks. I felt I hadn’t touched on the slower, more soundcapy side of things enough, and just tried to keep It simple but with a clear storyline and an intense atmosphere.”

Lost & Found is out now.
