Hot on the heels of its live performance at HILOMATIK’s Miami Music Week showcase in Wynwood last week, “Born To Love” hurdles onto digital streaming platforms with an intensity not unfamiliar to HI-LO’s bullish, hypnotic brand of techno. To perhaps no one’s surprise, the answer to his year-opening single, “INFERNO” (produced alongside Kasablanca), hits like a bolt of pure adrenaline — but its origin story is much more low-key.
“I was driving home after a show one night and thinking about how dance music has always felt so natural to me, like part of my DNA. I was making electronic music in my bedroom way before I was old enough to go to a rave or a club. It’s like I was born to make this music and play it for people who feel the same way…as I was driving, these lyrics just flowed off my tongue, and I voice-noted them and recorded them as soon as I got home,” Sarah de Warren recalled. “I’d been dying to collaborate with HI-LO, so I sent him the vocal, and he worked his magic.”
The nature of said “magic”? HI-LO’s acute ear for the sounds that don’t just make feet move, but rather get them off the ground entirely.
