Oliver Heldens launched new record label OH2 with release ‘Set Me Free’

Oliver Heldens recently launched another label in the evergrowing Heldeep family called OH2 Records. This label will focus on the more commercial leaning, dance-pop orientated tunes

“With Heldeep I’ve always been very focused on expanding the horizons of more club-oriented sounds. Since launching the label a little over 5 years ago we’ve had so many highlights and become a very versatile label in that space, which I’m really pleased about. However, I haven’t really been able to focus on the more dance/pop side of things with Heldeep (with the exception of a couple of my own tracks) so my team and I decided to expand the Heldeep Label group and launch ‘OH2 Records’ which will focus on the more melodic and Dance/Pop leaning music.‘Set Me Free‘ feels like the perfect record to me to kickstart OH2 – It just has this nicely balanced blend of Dance/Pop, Disco and Future House elements. Party Pupils and I have been wanting to do something together for a while, because we thought it would be really interesting to combine our styles, and we’re super happy how this turned out. Also a big shout out to MAX who really nailed the vocals on this one! I hope you also like it!”

The first single was also released by Boilers who made a 2020 rendition of the famous track ‘Kiss Me’ which features a catchy dance-driven melody that ignites a lively sense of nostalgia a perfect dance-pop track. You can listen to it below 👇
