HI-LO had a smashing 2024 packed with high-demand releases, including collabs with Armin van Buuren, Chocolate Puma, Danny Avila, Eli Brown, Green Velvet, and Space 92, to name a few. HI-LO’s first release of the new year keeps the momentum boiling with the new single ‘INFERNO,’ produced in collaboration with white-hot electronic musique act Kasablanca.
The futuristic banger starts with a layer of robotic glitz that reveals a brooding, consuming beat. A blend of electro and techno, this track is a tour de force for the synth warriors and dance floor stormers. It’s the perfect melding of both artist’s signature styles.
First played by HI-LO during his November 2024 set at CRSSD in San Diego and reaching #2 on 1001Tracklists trending charts, the track has become a staple in the sets of top international DJs, including Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren, Joseph Capriati, and Layton Giordani, to name a few.
‘INFERNO’ has been a highlight of HI-LO’s recent sets – hear it yourself at his upcoming tour dates!
‘INFERNO’ is available now via HILOMATIK.
À propos de HI-LO
En quelques années seulement, Oliver Heldens a transformé sa carrière dans la musique dance mainstream en un alter ego techno très apprécié sous le nom de HI-LO, s'attirant au passage une large reconnaissance de la scène underground. Profitant d'une époque où les frontières entre les genres musicaux s'estompent et où les jeunes générations rejettent les préjugés d'antan, le nom HI-LO est aujourd'hui synonyme d'une techno avant-gardiste, percutante et innovante, de grande qualité. En 2020, ses titres ‘ Zeus ’ et ‘ Kronos ’ se sont hissés dans le Top 10 des morceaux techno les plus joués de l'année sur 1001tracklists.com, faisant de lui le producteur le plus soutenu de la plateforme cette année-là, tous genres confondus. Ses sets de DJ sous le nom de HI-LO ont enchanté le public lors d'événements majeurs tels que le prestigieux Resistance d'Ultra, le Warehouse Project de Manchester, le Seismic Dance Event d'Austin, le Proper NYE de San Diego, ainsi que des clubs de renom de la scène techno comme De Marktkantine à Amsterdam, Watergate à Berlin, E1 à Londres, Mondo à Madrid et Nitsa à Barcelone, sans oublier ses nombreuses performances remarquables lors des showcases des labels Drumcode et Filth on Acid à travers le monde.
Combining a big room sensibility with a dark, underground, raw edge, HI-LO has become a trusted tastemaker, with his tracks receiving massive support from luminaries of the scene, including Adam Beyer (who signed his ‘Hypnos,’ ‘Wanna Go Bang’ EPs and ‘CRESCENDO’ to his Drumcode label and invited him to remix his DJ Rush collab ‘Restore My Soul’), Reinier Zonneveld (with whom HI-LO released seven wildly creative collabs), Carl Cox, Solomun, Tale of Us, Anyma, Charlotte de Witte, Enrico Sangiuliano, Pan-Pot, Dubfire, Joseph Capriati, ANNA, AMELIE LENS, Joris Voorn, Robert Hood, Richie Hawtin, and countless other a-list acts. HI-LO was crowned the #1 best-selling and best-streaming techno artist over the last six months, according to Beatport. The next chapter in the HI-LO story was the January 2023 launch of HILOMATIK, a new label showcasing his productions alongside music from hot new talents and techno heroes that will further expand his musical manifesto. The imprint kicked off with the mighty ‘PURA VIDA’ from the man himself and has carried significant momentum into 2024 with recent releases including ‘GENESIS EP’ (with Space 92), ‘PARADISE’ (with Danny Avila), ‘LIFT ME UP” (with Green Velvet), ‘Now Love Will Begin’ (with Armin van Buuren), ‘GIMME THE WORD’ (with Alan Fitzpatrick), ‘PEGASUS’ (with Space 92), ‘PYRAMID RAVE EP’ with Eli Brown, ‘BADDADAN BAD,’ and ‘MY FANTASY’ with Maddix, DIZZY with LUSU on Drumcodeand, ‘AFRAID TO LIVE (BLACKLIZT VERSION)’ with ZHU, ‘HYPOMANIA,’ and most recently ‘WTFU’ with Chocolate Puma.

About Kasablanca
Hitting milestone after milestone, Kasablanca has quickly risen through the ranks of dance music must-see acts over the past four years. Launching into the scene with their first singles in 2020, they struck gold with their hit collaboration with Lane 8, ‘Run,’ which has been streamed over 40M times, and they haven’t looked back since.
The duo’s journey has been explosive since their first ‘Human Learning EP’ in 2020. Most widely known for their enthralling live performances, the duo has played some of the world’s most well-known venues and festivals, like Printworks, Coachella, Red Rocks, and The Gorge, and shows across four continents. Their songs have also been heard worldwide on the radio, including features on BBC Radio 1 and SiriusXM, the latter bringing in a #1 hit on BPM with ‘Run.’
In 2023, the duo sold out their first-ever headline tour focusing on legendary rock venues around North America. Towards the end of the year, their final shows were cut short after revealing that frontman “Mickey” had been diagnosed with cancer. Following a short hiatus from touring and music at the start of this year, the release of their next collaboration with Lane 8, ‘Remission’ marked the official return of Kasablanca after the pair debuted the track during their LIVE sets at Ultra Music Festivals in Miami, Chile, and Peru.
Following ‘Remission,’ Kasablanca has been on a blistering pace over this past summer with three more lead-up singles and a run of over 20 tour dates this year, with another 20 still to come before the end of the year. Singles ‘Terminal Feeling’ and ‘Daydream’ with anamē gave fans differing sonic styles from the melodic techno duo, with their viral anthem ‘Breathe’ finally landing in August. The official cover of the 1996 hit by The Prodigy started with a viral video in 2023, and 10M views later has seen support worldwide from streaming platforms and radio stations alike.
In 2024 Kasablanca released Side A of their debut album, ‘Higher Resolution’ on Anjunabeats.
Led by the title track of the same name, the album brings fans on an epic journey from start to finish. Four new original mixes take center stage on the body of work, with ‘Clarity’ being a familiar anthem to fans who have seen Kasablanca live over the past six months as it tore up dance floors from Bonnaroo to Fabric and with multiple videos of the track on social media garnering millions of views.
