The supreme HI-LO returns to Drumcode to share another pair of exhilarating dancefloor gems.
The techno alias of Oliver Heldens has found a home at Drumcode, dropping ‘Hypnos’ and ‘WANNA GO BANG’ EPs in consecutive years, while lending his touch to Adam Beyer & DJ Rush’s ‘Restore My Soul’ last year. Meanwhile, he’s been a welcome fixture of Drumcode’s events at Miami WMC and The Warehouse Project.
His return to Beyer’s label is led by the mighty ‘CRESCENDO’. The cut begins as an irresistible roller, before gradually building into throbbing peak-time composition, that’s marked by a haunting synth progression that reinforces HI-LO’s deft studio skill.
Its accompaniment is the stirring ‘OPEN YOUR MIND’, a production HI-LO says was inspired by the great DK8 classic ‘Murder Was the Bass’, with a foot in both techno, electro and breakbeat camps and led by a ripping hoover.

Last FM Information on Hi-Lo
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
The alias Hi-Lo is shared by two different artist(s):
1.) Hi-Lo is a side project by dutch DJ/producer Oliver Heldens. His first release under this alias was 'Crank It Up' on Diplo's label Mad Decent.
2.) Hi-Lo is a alternative rock band from Sweden. The music Hi-Lo plays is best described as modern pop/rock. The songs, mostly written by Daniel Thibblin, are built up by achingly beatiful lyrics mixed with meloncholy and powerful but allways melody oriented.
Thibblin's vocals can be described as laid-back and powerful at the same time. Sometimes weaved into the arrangement in a suttle way and other times more at the heart of the song.
Lead guitarist Erik Lindström's and bassist Victor Björkgren's groundbreak and inovative guitar leads/bassline lifts the songs even further.
All this is backed up by an staggeringlly talented and variated drummer, Felix Waljanson.
The Band has played several gigs, all of which were recieved very well. The band's plan for the near is to hit the live scene even harder.
