After seeing their track ‘Rushed’ included in last year’s ‘A State Of Trance Selections 002’, Hel:sløwed (Misja Helsloot and Michael de Kooker) deliver this incredible, modern and nostalgia-infused version of Randy Katana’s 1999 classic ‘In Silence’. Marrying the iconic melody to a slower bpm and a gorgeous vocal performance from South African singer-songwriter That Girl, this rendition is sure to wow fans new and old at mainstages all over the world.

Continuing their mission to push boundaries and bend the genres, the Hel:sløwed duo brings yet another original to the A State of Trance label. Coming on strong since their debut with ‘In Silence’, Michael de Kooker and Misja Helsloot have firmly proven their rising position in the electronic dance scene. Next to clocking up nearly 4 million streams on Spotify and enchanting crowds with originals ‘Like A Ghost’ and ‘End of Time’, their remix of Grooveyard classic ‘Mary Go Wild’ was a sure-shot in the sets of Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Eelke Kleijn and many, many more.‘

Changing Fast’, featuring the brilliant vocals of Ava Silver, is bound to let it all shift up a gear, spreading the Hel:sløwed sound like wildfire. Melodic, melancholic, and mesmerizing from start to finish, ‘Changing Fast’ builds and builds, until the break brings it to full speed. Deep, dark, and absolutely driving prog takes over, making this Hel:sløwed original another sure-shot at dance floor mayhem.

** EARLY SUPPORT FROM: TIESTO, MARTIN GARRIX, ARMIN VAN BUUREN, NICKY ROMERO, FERRY CORSTEN, ABOVE & BEYOND & MORE **

22 years after conquering the world, ‘Flight 643’ still gets the party going. However - Hel:sløwed felt it could use a bit of a rub. A perfect showcase of that #lowtempohighenergy hashtag the boys keep talking about, this revamp adds depth and substance to the original, upping the tension until it all unfolds into pure, absolute madness. Without a second thought after hearing the very first version, Tiësto signed it to AFTR:HRS / Musical Freedom – putting one of his biggest classics into the safe hands of Hel:sløwed. Now is the time for Hel:sløwed to take you on board - prepare for take-off.

It’s the sound the electronic dance scene didn’t know they needed, but now that Misja Helsloot and Michael de Kooker have showcased their take on ‘low tempo, high energy’ for the past 12 months, it’s pretty clear it’s here to stay – to much appraise. The staggering 5 million Spotify plays and an endless list of A-list support cross-genre they’ve clocked up since their debut is made of highlights such as ‘In Silence’ (ft. That Girl), ‘Like A Ghost’(ft. Ava Silver), ‘Flashed’ and ‘Drifting Apart’(ft. Cari). Besides the originals, Hel:sløwed has reworked and owned one of the biggest dance classics in history; Grooveyard’s ‘Mary Go Wild’. With that one still doing its rounds on the leading dance floors today, another one’s ready for impact. Buckle up, cause this is Tiësto’s ‘Flight 643’ as you’ve never heard it before.

Flight 643

In the wake of their 2022 reimagination of 'In Silence', Hel:sløwed and That Girl keep listeners on the edge of their seats with another creative collision. A vocal-infused production that sits right between progressive and uplifting, 'Hold Onto This' will be turning heads across the globe as one of the highlights of the 'A State of Trance 2023' album.

Hold Onto This

After setting things alight with 'In Silence', 'Hold Onto This' and 'Changing Fast' on A State of Trance, Dutch duo Hel:sløwed make their grand debut on Armin van Buuren's Armind Recordings. On 'If You Only Knew', Michael de Kooker and Misja Helsloot employ their famed progressive sound for a brilliant vocal piece - featuring the platinum award-winning duo Amber Revival. Drenched in heartfelt emotion, ‘If You Only Knew’ brings a captivating blend of trance and melodic house/deep house that encapsulates the artists' musical evolution. With powerful lyrics, prestigious vocal allure, and the melancholy of sweet surrender, ‘If Only You Knew' hits the soul with surgical precision.

A personal note from Hel:sløwed:

In the world of music producers, there's always that one track where everything aligns perfectly—your past, present, and your vision for the future. "If You Only Knew" is that track for us. It's deep, melodic, and emotional, yet uplifting and inspiring. It takes you on a journey and then embraces and soothes you. This is a reflection of everything we've been doing as Hel:sløwed and the principles we hold dear - fun, freedom, open-mindedness, and acceptance.

We were fortunate to collaborate with the talented Netta and Arie of Amber Revival, and it's been nothing short of magical. Their vocals blend seamlessly with our instrumental, capturing the essence of the track brilliantly. The lyrics, the vocal performance, and the harmonious interplay between Netta and Arie.We hope you enjoy this track as much as we do and that it finds a special place in your playlists and sets. Your support means the world to us, and we can't wait for you to embark on this musical journey with us.With love from Misja and Michael from Hel:sløwed, and Netta & Arie from Amber Revival.

If You Only Knew

Dutch duo Hel:sløwed makes a welcome return to Flashover, having been on quite the musical journey since their original ‘Flashed’ landed in spring ’22. Sounds like Michael de Kooker and Misja Helsloot have yet to stop and take a rest from exploring the boundaries of what’s trance, now rocking the label with the deeper, tech-influenced ‘Want Me’ – a one-of-a-kind collab with rising talent JNSN.Having built an impressive discography and securing an instantly recognizable sound, the second you press play on ‘Want Me’, you know you’re dealing with a Hel:sløwed original. 

Joined forces with Florida-based DJ/producer Charles Jensen, making name under his JNSN moniker, they bring a massive, rolling bassline and tight sub that’s bound to get those heart rates up. It’s the melodic touch and old-school, almost hoover-like influences that make ‘Want Me’ stand out though. A cross-over gem, that earns a spot in DJ sets all across the electronic playground, balancing techno, progressive, and trance alike. No matter what you’re serving, there’s a sweet spot in this record for everyone.
