Oliver Heldens

Olivier J. L. Heldens, known professionally as Oliver Heldens, is a Dutch DJ and electronic music producer from Rotterdam who began his career in the early 2010s. Born February 1, 1995, Heldens gained recognition when his 2013 track "Gecko" caught the attention of Tiësto, who signed him to Musical Freedom and released it as "Gecko (Overdrive)" with vocals from Becky Hill in June 2014. He operates under the alias HI-LO and runs his own imprint HELDEEP Records, which serves as a primary outlet for his releases.

Heldens produces house music that spans from peak-time driving techno to dance pop and mainstage-ready tracks. His releases appear on major labels including Ministry of Sound Recordings, Armada Music, and Toolroom, alongside his own HELDEEP Records. Since his first documented release in July 2014, he has maintained consistent output with 17 releases tracked through December 2025. His sound encompasses energetic house productions suitable for both underground club environments and festival mainstages, with his HI-LO alias typically exploring darker, more techno-oriented territory compared to his main Oliver Heldens project.
