A true labour of love, Hel:sløwed is the rising project of Misja Helsloot and Michael de Kooker. Having earned their stripes in the international music scene, together they clock up more than 35 years of pure devotion to all things dance music. A mutual love for melodies, the deeper grooves of techno, and the uplifting yet playful feel of old-school trance connects their minds, resulting in a joint venture that’s ready to make itself heard.

Steering towards a full-toned, rich blend of progressive, melodic house & techno, and trance, a Hel:sløwed original takes the mind to those early days of clubbing, with the techniques, maturity, and full-bodied sound propelling it to far beyond today. With releases on labels like Armada Music, Spinnin’ Records, A State of Trance, Armind Recordings, Dreamstate Records, Enhanced Recordings, Flashover Recordings, Black Hole Recordings, Pure Trance, and more, the Hel:sløwed sound has clearly struck a chord with the industry’s elite.

Pushing more than 25 million streams on Spotify since making their debut in early ’22, tracks like ‘If You Only Knew’, ‘Wildfire’ (both ft. Amber Revival), ‘In Silence’, ‘Coming Home’, ‘Come Undone’, their reworks of ‘Flight 643’, ‘Mary Go Wild’, ‘Hold That Sucker Down’ and remixes for Cosmic Gate, Ferry Corsten and others, as well as collabs with Driftmoon, AERES, JNSN, Daniel Wanrooy, Teo Mandrelli and more, Hel:sløwed has begun to create more than just a buzz. Hel:sløwed performances at UNTOLD, Transmission, Luminosity Beach Festival, A State of Trance Rotterdam & London and at venues like Maassilo, Melkweg and others show an ever-growing amount of support and dedication, as music lovers from different scenes fall in love with their open-minded sound.
