HI-LO, the darker, more Underground Techno alter ego of DJ/ producer/ HILOMATIK label head Oliver Heldens, is a well-established Drumcode denizen. With three EPs and a VA track already adorning Adam Beyer’s imprint, Oliver has taken the Techno world by storm.
Now he enlists LUSU, the futuristic, high-energy Techno project of producers Wiwek and Mike Cervello, for the exhilarating streaming single ‘DIZZY’— the two-track eponymous EP which follows on 27th September.
‘DIZZY’ is a frantically hyper yet expertly crafted track. A Superspeed Techno beat and pumping percussion, backed by subtle but slightly ominous bass synth. Intervals of Melodic House synth chords in the breakdowns and epic drops keep the tracking moving forward.
The vocal sample referenced in the track title is a feature throughout, beginning as a highly processed riff, and emerging as the much-loved acapella quatrain from Game’s 1991 cut ‘U Turn Me On’ pitch-shifted and speed up to the max.
HI-LO is having an incredible year releasing one of my personal favorites of his ‘BADDADAN BAD’. As well as collaborations with Space 92 and Maddix.
