Oliver Heldens has revealed himself as the producer behind mystery alias HI-LO, whose Mad Decent debut “Crank it Up” received an exclusive premiere from Billboard Dance last month.
The Dutch artist also announced the launch of his new Heldeep Records label, unveiling HI-LO’s sophomore single “Renegade Mastah” as its first release.

Sampling the classic vocal from Wildchild’s “Renegade Master,” the single builds on the sub-heavy bass house sound established by “Crank it Up,” and has already earned early support from the likes of Jack Ü, Martin Garrix and Kaskade.
Listen to the first preview of HI-LO’s “Renegade Mastah” below:
Heldeep Records will serve as a new home for Heldens’ own releases, as well as for new artist talent he has helped cultivate, like 16-year-old Spinnin’ label mate Curbi.
HI-LO’s “Renegade Mastah” will be available through Heldeep Records on July 20.
