ABOUT HI-LO
In just a few short years, Oliver Heldens successfully parlayed his career in mainstream dance music into a much-lauded alter-ego in the techno world as HI-LO, gaining widespread acceptance from the underground scene in the process. Making the most of an era when genre boundaries are less important or distinct than ever and younger generations cast aside the snobbery of old, the name HI-LO is now synonymous with cutting-edge, quality, hard-hitting, innovative techno. By 2020, his tracks ‘Zeus’ and ‘Kronos’ landed in the Top 10 most-played techno tracks of the year on 1001tracklists.com, making him the #1 most-supported producer platform-wide that year across all genres. His DJ sets as HI-LO has serenaded audiences at huge events like Ultra’s revered Resistance, Manchester’s Warehouse Project, Austin’s Seismic Dance Event, San Diego’s Proper NYE, plus prominent clubs in the techno scene like De Marktkantine in Amsterdam, Watergate in Berlin, E1 in London, Mondo in Madrid and Nitsa in Barcelona, plus numerous stand out performances on Drumcode and Filth on Acid label showcases across the globe.
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), and ‘PEGASUS’ (with Space 92).

About Zonderling:
Not many artists turn away from the bright lights of mainstream success, yet that’s exactly what Zonderling has done. Having enjoyed and appreciated global visibility with hits like ‘Crazy’ and ‘Love To Go,’ the Dutch duo, consisting of Martijn van Sonderen (producer) and Jaap de Vries (DJ), decided to make an uncompromised return to their roots. In doing so, Zonderling has tightened their ship, choosing only a handful of venues to work with and keeping their release schedule to a minimum. Meanwhile, reconnecting with the vibe of earlier productions like ‘Sonderling’ and ‘Tunnel Vision,’ taking themselves back to the dark, strobe-lit energy of intimate dance floors. Not only through sound but also by giving their tracks a Dutch title, as they used to do. Ultimately, Zonderling’s story is about artistic freedom and being solely focused on continuing their own vision and version of today’s electronic music.
