** 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.

Release date: 21-04-2023 - AFTR:HRS // Musical Freedom // Spinnin' Records

Summary

The quickly rising Hel:sløwed with excellent releases on Armada and top remix of the classic Mary Go Wild return with their own rework of the Tiesto golden classic Flight 643. Tiesto approved it and signed it to his label and if you check it out you can easily understand why. The track moves in the deep melodic trance territory with progressive house infusions too. Deep brooding atmospheric basslines, chunky grooves, smooth kicks and cool percussion while on top great synths, heavenly female voices and warm atmosphere carry you up and away. The breakdown is dark and mysterious with hints of the well known riffs of the original. The climax continues the monumental trip by turning the intense classic into a slower but still euphoric gem targeting the peak time of any deeper type of trance set. The guys manage to make the original on their own by keeping its authentic essence. #PureGold Love IT
