Editor's note

Oliver Heldens, the Rotterdam producer with a knack for house grooves

A Dutch DJ who turned a Beatport hit into a steady stream of club-ready tracks.

For the classic Heldens sound, 'Gecko (Overdrive)' is still the one. If you want something more recent with a vocal, try 'Fire In My Soul'.

He broke through with 'Gecko (Overdrive)' in 2013, a track that climbed Beatport's charts and announced a new house sound from Rotterdam. Songs like 'Summer Lover' and 'Fire In My Soul' with Shungudzo show he's kept that energy going, crafting reliable dancefloor material that gets radio play and festival slots. It's straightforward, effective house music that doesn't overcomplicate things.

He started making music at 16 in Rotterdam. After 'Gecko (Overdrive)' took off, he followed with tracks like 'Details' with Boy Matthews and later collaborations such as 'I Don't Wanna Go Home'. He mostly works solo but brings other musicians along for live performances.
