Techno 2 TRacker - HI-LO, the techno alter-ego of Oliver Heldens debuts on Drumcode with a full-force two-tracker ‘Hypnos’. Unbeknown to many, the Dutch future house star has been cultivating a love of techno separate from his mainstage persona. As HI-LO, he’s remixed Nina Kraviz’s ‘Skyscrapers’ and released on Octopus and Filth on Acid, the latter consisting of collaborations with Reinier Zonneveld, T78 and Will Clarke.
Over the last 12 months, HI-LO has become the sixth highest selling Techno artist on Beatport, as well as cemented his place as a top streaming act in the genre.
In recent times Heldens has become a regular supporter of Drumcode’s catalogue via his Heldeep Radio show and DJ sets. Likewise, he’s been on the radar of Adam Beyer since 2019 when the Drumcode boss played his monster cut ‘Poseidon’, which encouraged the young artist to begin sending him demos.
His Drumcode debut ‘Hypnos’ is effective and infectious in equal doses. The title track is led by a catchy bass groove that espouses plenty of personality and is a handy tool for building energy throughout the night. ‘Hera’ is a straight-edged euphoric gem, driven by an uplifting key riff throughout.

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.
