A genuine superstar with No. 1 hits and more than 4 billion streams, Oliver Heldens is at the vanguard of the new generation of house music stars. A resolute perfectionist who works tirelessly in his studio to craft new sounds and directions at every opportunity, he’s a truly dedicated artist who refuses to cut corners. This attitude to innovation also saw him launch his spectacular HI-LO project, pushing his intricate and forward-thinking production aesthetic to its limits.
His career has been a whirlwind of mind-boggling success after Tiësto picked up his 2013 single “Gecko,” which became his major breakthrough track. Pete Tong’s Warner Music Group imprint, FFRR, subsequently licensed it and took it to the #1 spot in the UK Official Chart with a vocal from Becky Hill, culminating in Double Platinum sales. One of the most talented producers in the game, Oliver continues to value the synergy of collaborations, delivering stand-out releases with artists like Nile Rodgers, Kylie Minogue, Tiesto, David Guetta, and brands like Call of Duty and F1, plus releasing official remixes for the who’s who of pop stars & cultural icons including Calvin Harris, Dua Lipa, Chic, Coldplay, Depeche Mode, Nina Kraviz, Glass Animals, Jamiroquai, and Justin Timberlake.
In 2014, Heldens launched his weekly radio show, Heldeep Radio, which has surpassed 500 episodes, is syndicated across 171 radio stations in 53 countries, and reaches north of 75 million people a month. In 2015, Oliver Heldens launched his highly successful label, Heldeep Records, as a platform to showcase the new music of budding producers. However, Heldeep has since grown into a fully-fledged label that continues to be a leader in breaking tastemaker club and house records. Heldeep has since spawned two equally impressive imprints: OH2 Records (2020), which caters to the more commercial leaning, streaming-focused productions, and HILOMATIK (2023), the home for HI-LO output and cutting-edge techno from other artists, serving as a platform to bring the melodic techno world and the more driving peak time techno world closer to together. The family of labels features releases from respected talents such as ALOK, Armin van Buuren, Chocolate Puma, Green Velvet, James Hype, Kai Tracid, Example, Shift K3y, Eli Brown, Space 92, and more and has hosted legendary label nights across the globe with guests including Chris Lake, Dom Dolla, Armand van Helden, Mau P, James Hype, Gorgon City, Idris Elba, Nora En Pure, Purple Disco Machine and many more.
Oliver’s HI-LO alias is reserved for Oliver Heldens’ deepest and darkest record, and with intense musical output and subsequent fanfare, HI-LO has been crowned as the #1 best-selling peak-time techno artist on Beatport. The diverse output of HI-LO has seen eleven releases on Dutch techno giant Reinier Zonneveld’s Filth on Acid, including seven collabs with Reiner and nine songs on Adam Beyer’s famed Drumcode Records, each garnering millions of streams and support from the likes of Adam Beyer himself, Carl Cox, Solomun, Charlotte de Witte, Amelie Lens, Enrico Sanguiliano, Tale of Us, Anyma, Robert Hood, Dubfire, Joseph Capriati, ANNA, Joris Voorn, Sam Paganini, Camelphat, John Summitt, Richie Hawtin, and many more! As the music has hit, the touring has followed, with Oliver Heldens and HI-LO playing over 90 shows to 2 million fans annually, including stand-out headlining festival sets at the likes of Coachella, Bonnaroo, Glastonbury, Life Is Beautiful, Lollapalooza, Tomorrowland, EDC, Ultra, CRSSD, Seismic Dance Event, and La Solar Festival.
