Oliver Heldens On How It All Started
Notas del episodio
I am absolutely thrilled to sit down with Dutch DJ Oliver Heldens for today's show. In this episode, we kick things off by chatting about our brand new record, 'Lost In Music.' We recount exactly how that collaboration came together and the crazy moment it caught the ear of Charlotte de Witte, leading her to jump in and sign the track.
From there, we trace his journey back to the very beginning, looking at his rapid rise to fame and that unforgettable, viral performance at Ultra in 2015. We also touch on his deep appreciation for various corners of electronic music, which explains why he chooses to release tracks under several different aliases rather than sticking to just one project name.
As the conversation unfolds, Oliver gets deeply personal about his experience living with bipolar disorder. He opens up about the negative and positive feedback loops he navigated during his childhood, something many people don't truly understand. Hearing how he conquered those mental struggles and transformed that energy into a creative superpower for his music is genuinely moving. He makes it clear that this diagnosis will never hold him back, and he is determined to keep pushing forward to show others that they can achieve their dreams regardless of the obstacles.
