Oliver Heldens Facts

  • He played chess growing up and has “a full room of awards”.
  • Early in his career, he was inspired by fellow Dutch DJs and producers, Fedde Le Grand and Sander van Doorn.
  • Oliver revealed his best melodies came to him while he was bored at school or cycling home from school.
  • Oliver did not focus on house music early in his career and preferred to do groovy/electro/dance/progressive songs. In 2014, DJ and producer Tiësto signed his track Koala (2014) to his Musical Freedom Label and re-released it with vocals, thus in a way forcing Oliver to change his priority.
  • He founded a record label named Heldeep Records in 2015. His debut track on the label was titled Renegade Mastah, and released by HI-LO, a mysterious artist. Soon after, he revealed it was his alter ego and wanted to see how people would react if they didn’t know the artist’s true identity.
  • He called his moniker HI-LO “his darker, edgy, stripped-back side” and the music he released “bassline driven and underground”. The moniker comes from his nickname “Oli H”, only reversed. Even his mom enjoyed his sets as HI-LO more than his Oliver Heldens sets because she “found herself in a trance and couldn’t stop dancing“.
  • Oliver landed 7th spot on DJMag‘s list of “Top 100 DJs” in 2019.
  • He stated that being a DJ was always the primary source of his joy, and producing, doing live performances, and signing other artists came secondary.
  • Oliver has wondered whether there would be fewer deaths if MDMA and ecstasy were legal. He realized this would make the number of poorly-made drugs on the street drop significantly and thus save lives.
  • Oliver is not the type of person that listens to entire albums. However, he can spend hours in a row discovering songs by underground artists.
  • He had a pet guinea pig.
  • If he had to plan the 1st date with a person he likes, Oliver would choose a trip to the zoo.
