The underground techno scene aims to ignite during Miami Music Week as HI-LO presents HILOMATIK Miami at Wynwood Market Place on Thursday, 27 March. Building on the success of the label's debut showcase at Amsterdam Dance Event 2024, which apparently sold out with over 8,000 tickets, this event will feature a lineup of artists, delivering a night of energy and beats.
HI-LO apparently had a big 2024 with his releases, including collabs with Armin van Buuren, Chocolate Puma, Danny Avila, Eli Brown, Green Velvet, and Space 92, to name a few. His first release of the year keeps the momentum going with the new single ‘Inferno,’ produced in collaboration with electronic music act Kasablanca.
HI-LO and Maddix, two Netherlands’ techno acts, have joined forces for a new single - ‘My Fantasy.’ A blend of contemporary and classic sounds, the track aims to be the definition of peak time.
HILOMATIK presents ‘Ride or Die’, a collaboration between HI-LO and Eli Brown and a follow-up to their previous collaboration, ‘Industria’. A hip-hop/techno hybrid, the track is dark and brooding straight out of the gates, which gets more intense as 303s enter the fray for a bath of squelchy acid dripped over the deep thud.
HI-LO returns to Drumcode to share another pair of dancefloor tracks. The techno alias of Oliver Heldens has found a home at Drumcode, dropping ‘Hypnos’ and ‘WANNA GO BANG’ Eps in consecutive years, leading last year’s A-sides compilation with a Layton Giordani collaboration ‘Rabbit Hole’, while lending his touch to Adam Beyer & DJ Rush’s ‘Restore My Soul’ as well. Meanwhile, he’s been a fixture of Drumcode’s events at Miami WMC and The Warehouse Project.
