Oliver Heldens, known as HI-LO, has paired up with ZHU to produce an electrifying techno track titled “Afraid To Live.” Brimming with underground vibes, this anthem dives into the shadows of electronic music, perfectly reflecting the gritty soul of after-hours club culture. The track has quickly amassed support from industry heavyweights like Adam Beyer, AFROJACK, ACRAZE, Joris Voorn, and Joseph Capriati, making it a highlight among techno enthusiasts worldwide.
With its mesmerizing rhythms and raw production, “Afraid To Live” takes listeners into dimly lit, smoke-filled rooms, encouraging them to embrace the unrefined intensity of techno.

This sonic adventure invites audiences to confront the chilling question, “Are you afraid to live?”
