I sat down with Oliver Heldens backstage at Warehouse Live Midtown in Houston the night before Netherlands played Sweden in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

We talked about:
— His World Cup prediction for Netherlands vs Sweden
— How his music has evolved since 2019
— The pandemic pushing him toward his HI-LO techno project
— His return to house music with a rework of Lady by Modjo
— His brand new single Satisfy — 2015 future house with a modern twist
— What's next for Oliver Heldens

I first interviewed Oliver in 2019 during Miami Music Week. Six years later he's back in Houston and I got the chance to catch up with him before one of the best shows we've had at Warehouse Live this year.

Full show recap dropping Friday.
