Armin van Buuren x HI-LO – Now Love Will Begin (Original Mix)
Once of the first times that Armin van Buuren and HI-LO played their first collaboration together “Now Love Will Begin” was during their back to back set at A State Of Trance in Rotterdam. The trance and techno fusion was released on HILOMATIK, which was launched in January 2023 by Oliver Heldens (of which HI-LO is an alias of his).
“HI-LO (Oliver Heldens) and I just click so well,” explains Armin van Buuren. “It was apparent during our back-to-back live set at A State of Trance in Rotterdam, and many others were able to see it as well when we connected on stage again in Miami during the Ultra Music Festival. I’m so happy that this natural flow between us extends to our studio work as well. We’re both so passionate about dance music, and I’m having such a great time being producer-nerdy in the studio with him. ‘Now Love Will Begin’ is what came out of it, and I’m so excited for the world to hear what we cooked up together!”.
HI-LO says that “In the last half a year, it’s been awesome working with Armin on several collabs and preparing for our b2b sets. Probably the highlight so far was when all of that came together during our b2b at A State of Trance Rotterdam, and even though the b2b set at A State of Trance Miami didn’t happen in the end due to severe weather conditions, we still had a lot of fun preparing for that set, and in general, it’s been lovely to connect on a deeper level. Our first collab, ‘Now Love Will Begin,’ definitely captures that spirit; I think it’s a meaningful banger of a tune that crosses boundaries, uniting the worlds of techno, uplifting trance, and psy-trance. Enjoy! :).”
Armin van Buuren also played the song during his set on the mainstage at Ultra Music Festival in Miami in March, while HI-LO dropped it during his back to back set with Eli Brown on the Resistance Cove stage at the festival.
Early supporters of the song include DJs such as Nicky Romero, Joel Corry, W&W, R3hab, Blasterjaxx, MorganJ, Maarten De Jong, Bobina JES, Albert Neve, and Photographer.
Both Armin van Buuren and HI-Lo will be performing at EDC Las Vegas 2024, which takes place Friday May 17, Saturday May 18, and Sunday May 19 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway
