Oliver Heldens revisits one of dance music’s classics with his rework of ‘Lady (Hear Me Tonight)’, which is out now on Heldeep Records. Originally released in 2000 by the French house duo Modjo, the track became a defining track of its era, blending house, funk, and pop in a way that transcended genres and generations. Now, more than two decades later, Heldens breathes new life into the classic, aiming to stay true to its unmistakable groove while elevating it with his production.

Oliver Heldens: “For me personally, ‘Lady’ is one of my favourite songs ever, and it’s one of the songs that got me in love with house and disco music as a kid. I never dared to touch/remix ‘Lady’, though, until earlier this year. The intention was not to reinvent the wheel, but to create a modern yet timeless and credible melodic summer club/house mix that is truly 100% in service of the original, and I’m pleased with the result. It’s been a highlight in my sets and it feels like it’s the type of mix that a wide range of DJs can play out.”
The rework has already received support from Calvin Harris, Carl Cox, Martin Garrix, Don Diablo, Nicky Romero, AFROJACK, W&W, R3HAB, Lucas & Steve, Mike Williams, Blasterjaxx, and more.
The release arrives during a big year for Heldens, who recently celebrated 10 Years of Heldeep Records with an Amsterdam Dance Event showcase alongside Tchami, Don Diablo, Chocolate Puma, and Lee
Foss.
