Heard It Here First

Rising artist, TINK, has unleashed a fiery jump-up drum & bass anthem titled “ME & U”, brimming with intensity, passion, and bass-heavy elements. Out now on all platforms, the track is already making waves across the scene.

One of music’s most powerful aspects is its potential to allow us to process and let go of negative emotions. Let’s face it- I think we have all had to let go of someone who no longer serves us. TINK’s single, “ME & U” is a guiding force that can allow us to redirect our energy inward, and release our emotions, transforming them through our passion for music. 

Ethan Tinkelman, A.K.A TINK, is an Orlando, FL-based producer/DJ and has been redefining boundaries with his releases. Although he has been DJing for over a decade, the 27-year-old officially began his journey as an artist in 2018, when he started producing genre-bending bass tracks, carving out his own, distinctive sound. Refusing to be confined by one genre, TINK has produced tracks with diverse styles of EDM, going above and beyond in his craft.

He has gained a loyal following throughout the Florida area, playing alongside massive artists such as Subtronics, Alix Perez, Truth, Peekaboo, Barclay Crenshaw, Ray Volpe, Eazybaked, Wooli & many more. As he continues to grow, the upcoming artist has played festivals and events such as Forbidden Kingdom, EDC Orlando’s official pre-party, Home Bass Orlando, Asteria Arts & Music Festival, and Frequency Burst Orlando. Furthermore, TINK has been solidifying his presence in the EDM community, consistently releasing tracks under labels such as Headbang Society, Wubaholics, Aspire Higher, and more. With each release, TINK has been grabbing our attention more and more, showcasing his innovative approach to genre-blending tracks. 

Here is what TINK has to say about his newest single “ME & U:”

“Revolving around the idea of no longer being with someone in a celebratory, yet angry demeanor – perfect to incite listeners or an audience to connect with the track and dance their emotions away.”  -TINK

“ME & U” kicks off with captivating vocals, impactful drums, and profound bass, enticing the listener to embrace their emotions. Featuring a powerful, energetic rhythm, this track is for those who have faced the emotional turbulence that comes with ending a relationship. His dynamic soundscape features dramatic build-ups, followed by a deep, turbulent bassline. TINK’s immersive single reminds us to be confident in ourselves when deciding who we let into our lives, and who we must let go of. We should celebrate new beginnings, while also releasing the anger we have towards what is not meant for us anymore. This song can be a catalyst for us to channel our emotions through our love for drum and bass, allowing us to move on and embrace our individuality.

If you are hoping to see this banger dropped live, you can catch TINK this weekend, on February 16th in Fort Lauderdale, FL at Kemistry nightclub. He also shared with fans that you can expect more DnB from him in 2025.
