Superstar Heldens to make it a Dutch treat for Lush!

The Rotterdam star’s 2013 release, Gecko, caught the attention of the mighty Tiesto who immediately signed him to his label.

The single was released on Tiesto’s Musical Freedom record label and peaked at number 1 on the DMC Magazine Buzz Chart and was named “Essential New Tune” by BBC’s Pete Tong in January last year.

Heldens also released a remix of Robin Thicke’s “Feel Good” in 2014 and he made appearance at EDC, Amnesia Ibiza, Tomorrowland, Departures Ushuaia Ibiza, Creamfields, Electric Zoo Festival, Veld Music Festival and Stereosonic.

Heldens, who is ranked 34 in the the DJ Mag Top 100, was described by Tong as “one of the producers of the year’.

2014 turned out be a massive year for Heldens, as it saw the release of no less than six singles, including Gecko, Gecko (Overdrive) with vocals from Becky Hill, Koala, THIS in a collaboration with Sander van Doorn, Pikachu in collaboration with Mr. Belt & Wezol and Last All Night (Koala) with vocals from KStewart, along with remixes for Robin Thicke’s ‘Feel Good’, Disclosure’s ‘Latch’, Coldplay’s ‘A Sky Full Of Stars’, Dr. Kucho & Gregor Salto’s ‘Can’t Stop Playing’, The Voyager’s ‘A Lot Like Love’ and Tiesto’s ‘Light Years Away’. Last All Night (Koala) entered the British Singles Chart last December at number five, making it Heldens’ second top-five single in the UK.

Music recognition app Shazam predicts that Heldens will soar to a new level of DJ stardom in 2015.
