Tiësto's classic “Adagio For Strings” remixed by HI-LO, Brennan Heart & Project Zeitgeist

Three major names in electronic music come together for a powerful new take on one of the most recognizable records in dance music history. Brennan Heart, HI-LO, and Project Zeitgeist (alter ego of Australian hardstyle act Toneshifterz) unite on “Adagio For Strings,” out now via HILOMATIK - delivering a modern reinterpretation of the legendary Tiësto classic.

Looking at the track through a 2026 lens, the trio reshape the iconic melody into something darker, heavier, and built for today’s dancefloors. While the emotional core that made the original so memorable remains intact, this version leans into driving techno rhythms and hard dance intensity.

The result is a track that balances nostalgia with modern production. Brennan Heart brings his unmistakable hard dance energy, HI-LO adds a raw techno edge, and Project Zeitgeist contributes a cinematic touch that amplifies the composition's drama. That track has already been supported by the likes of Armin van Buuren (live), Space 92 (live), Maddix (live), Nifra (live), and Lilly Palmer.

"What do you do with one of the most iconic records in dance music history? I have been playing and messing around with different versions of this Tiesto classic over the years, as you may have heard in my sets, but when Brennan Heart sent me a collab idea for a proper hard techno rework of ‘Adagio for Strings, ’ I knew this one would really stand out and would be perfect for 2026! I had a lot of fun working on this one with him and Project Zeitgeist, and it’s been amazing to see all the reactions to this banger at the shows! :)" - HI-LO

For many listeners, the original “Adagio For Strings” holds a special place in dance music history. This new version honors that legacy while opening the door for a new generation of festival moments and club memories.

Brennan Heart, HI-LO, and Project Zeitgeist “Adagio For Strings” is available now via HILOMATIK.
