I found Titus through his sample pack which he released on Splice, I actually used one of his samples on another song of mine called ‘Deeper’ which is released on STMPD! Anyway his amazing voice/songwriting definitely made track so much crazier!! While working on the second break I felt like it missed something so I contacted TITUS to write something on the 2nd break. How did you come to collaborate with Guy Arthur and TITUS? How did the track come together in the studio and what’s the message behind it?Īfter I heard Guy’s remix for The Him I immediately contacted him via SoundCloud and after talking for awhile I send him the first concept of Closer. I pinch myself every day because I still can’t believe it’s real! Can you tell us what your reaction was like when you got that news?Īfter the remix I came into contact with STMPD (martin) when I pitched my first single ‘I Need’ there. In the beginning I was just playing around, but when I entered a remix contest for Marshmello and found out I won, things started to become more serious however also a lot of fun! I never thought he would support my remix, for the remix I believe I only used the vocal sample for the remix.Īfter the ‘Alone’ remix, you went on to make your debut release on Martin Garrix’s STMPD RCRDS. My name is Frank van den Eijkel and I got into music production when I was around 15 years old.

Yeah it was so crazy! So a little background story first. How instrumental was your remix of Marshmello’s ‘Alone’ and how did you manage to get it into his hands? You had a pretty explosive start to your career.

Yoo! First of all thank you for having me! Just chilling at home playing video games and making music. Can you tell us where you are and what you’re doing today? I House U managed to grab the young producer for 5 minutes to find out more…

Racking up an incredible 500,000 views in just four short days, the track is already on its way to establishing Helder as a new NCS favourite. Not 21 and raring to go, the wunderkind was snapped up by one of the planet’s more revered indie labels, NCS, to make his official imprint debut with the Guy Arthur and TITUS collab ‘ Closer‘. Discovered by Marshmello at just 15 years old and with a slew of hits under his belt on Martin Garrix’s STMPD RCRDS, Dutch hotshot Todd Helder has been one to watch out for over the past few years.
