Oliver Heldens – Musical Freedom Radio Episode 15
It’s a common question for fans to ask about where their favorite artists find inspiration. Many look back at the disco legends that were the superstars that DJs today, but during a time when afros and lava lamps were all the rage. There’s no denying that future house has pulled some tricks from disco’s book with its groove-drenched basslines and bouncing melodies.
One of the genre’s leading forces, Oliver Heldens, has returned to the label that launched his career, Tiesto’s Musical Freedom, to show fans the tracks that inspired his budding career. There’s some serious nostalgia injected into this mix as Heldens superbly moves through “Lady (Hear Me Tonight)” by Modjo, “Mesmerized” by Faith Evans, and many more vintage disco heaters. Sending our eardrums for a trip back to the 70s, Oliver Heldens once again surprises us at every turn. Be sure to check out this installment of Musical Freedom Radio and its tracklist below.
