House | Tiesto Ft. DBX – Light Years Away (Oliver Heldens Remix)
Posted by BIGLIFE on November 25, 2014
I despise anything Tiesto releases. I won’t listen to it on principle because it’s usually progressive house wanna be cross-over top 40 garbage. Tiesto has long given his soul to the major label machine which I contend has slowly chipped away at his credibility. The major label machine doesn’t understand the dance space and has steered him largely in the wrong direction. Fortunately for Tiesto, Oliver Heldens transports “Light Years Away” into another galaxy, incorporating melodic sounds and much needed groovy basslines. Oliver Heldens is the only reason I’m even entertaining this song. It’s a departure from his signature square wave future house bass sound but I’m not against it. You can’t fault an artist for trying something new. Oliver Heldens. So hot right now. Oliver Heldens. Niiiiice.
House | Oliver Heldens – Heldeep Radio 24
Posted by BIGLIFE on November 16, 2014
Heeeeey. This is BIG LIFE, and you’re reading another post about another episode of Heldeep Radio. This week, Oliver Heldens brings you tracks from Drop Dopers, Bakermat, Shiba San, and more. Did you read that in Oliver Heldens voice that sounds like Charlie Brown’s teacher circa 1970? I hope so. How no one has pointed this out yet is beyond me. Regardless, Oliver Heldens is my favorite artist at the moment and I can’t wait to catch a show. I wake up every Saturday morning like an excited child on Christmas to listen to a new episode every week. It’s that good. Oliver Heldens. Heldeep Radio. Love to get too deep.
You’re now in the mix. Niiiiiiiice. *Oliver Heldens Voice*

Tune in and turn it up. You’re now in the mix with Oliver Heldens. Niiiiiiice.
House | Tube & Berger – Set It Off (Kryder Remix)
Posted by BIGLIFE on November 1, 2014
Tube and Berger’s “Set If Off” is an essential tune. Premiered on BBC Radio 1, Kryder’s future house remix (that so happens to be featured on Oliver Heldens new “Heldeep Radio Vol. 22“) is exceptional. If I were a DJ (I’m not) I would put this in my set immediately. It’s that good. Hats off to Kryder. He has a special remix on his hands. No release date just yet. Stay tuned to this space for more.
Future House | Oliver Heldens & Mr. Belt & Wezol – Pikachu
Posted by BIGLIFE on October 29, 2014
Previewed for quite sometime now, Oliver Heldens and Mr. Belt and Wezol (who brought us “Feel So Good“) drop an early preview of their “Pikachu” collaboration that stands as another quality release. Sure, it’s that same square wave bass sound but I can’t criticize Heldens for his consistent output. “Pikachu” is available via Spinnin’ Records on November 3rd. Pikachu. Gotta catch em all.
Keep an eye out for Oliver’s “Heldeep Mixtape 6” coming soon.
House | Calvin Harris feat. John Newman – Blame (Mike Williams Future Remix)
Posted by BIGLIFE on October 18, 2014
I love Oliver Heldens weekly “Heldeep” radio series. The guy is always introducing me to new tunes that I may have missed throughout the week. I’m not a big “Blame” fan but I love what Mike Williams has done here. Very Oliver Heldens like. You can’t blame these up and comers. Everyone wants to re-produce that sound. In the words of every stereotypical DJ, I give this track the top support treatment. Cheers!
Girl Fire | Oliver Heldens f. KStewart- Last All Night (Koala)
Posted by BIGLIFE on October 9, 2014
We’ve made our feelings pretty well known to the blogosphere about Oliver Helden’s original “Koala” track that dropped a few months ago. To say we didn’t like it would be putting it nicely. Premiered on Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio 1 show last night, Oliver offers up the vocal version titled “Last All Night” with KStewart via FFRR. KStewart’s vocal contribution is notable, adding some much needed depth and variation to the track. I still think the drop is suspiciously similar to “Gecko” and I’m not going to back down from that criticism. Many of our counterparts in the blog world agree. Oliver may sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher, but he makes damn good tunes and you have to respect him for the shift in the “EDM” space he’s creating. Here’s to hoping Oliver finds a new synth to incorporate into his future house sound. If you’re into this, be sure to pick up the pre-order available below.
