    Oliver Heldens releases remix EP for HI-LO, ‘Athena’

    EDM stalwart Oliver Heldens releases a roaring five-track remix EP for HI-LO, “Athena” which is available to stream/download via Octopus Recordings.

    HI-LO – Athena

    Following the success of the single’s release back in January, Oliver Heldens’s techno alias HI-LO and Octopus Recordings’ founder Sian enlist a number of stellar producers and rising artists for the “Athena” remix EP.   This includes noteworthy renditions by Ramon Tapia, Alex Stein, Demon Noise, and Tomas Otero. 

    Kicking off with a radio edit of his own production, Oliver Heldens encapsulates the HI-LO techno release in under four minutes.  Continuing the HI-LO momentum, Say What? label boss Ramon Tapia delivers a roaring, expertly crafted peak-time offering for its counterpart while the third remix sees Brazilian-Bavarian Alex Stein add his prolific techno touch to the original. 

    This announcement follows a recent remix contest Oliver Heldens and Octopus Recordings held for “Athena” back in January, which called upon budding producers to provide their own take on the HI-LO techno heater. With winners that include Demon Noise and Tomas Otero, both artists are found on the EP delivering their own worthy interpretations of the offering.  The winners were announced during a special live Twitch broadcast on March 9, so be sure to keep an eye out for these two budding producers.
