In 2010, highbloo started touring as part of one of Belgium's breakout electronic acts — playing stages of 2,000 to 15,000 people worldwide. Signed to DIM MAK and Lektroluv Records. Steve Aoki and DJ Snake played and championed his early work, and 2manydjs named his track "Time to Change" one of their favorites of 2010. Tiga, Brodinski, Boys Noize, and Crookers all ran his tracks and remixes in their sets.
In 2011 he joined Belgian band The Subs — "Don't Stop (feat. Highbloo)" got serious radio airplay. His remix and collab work crossed paths with Foamo (now Gorgon City), Will Bailey (now Low Steppa), Malente (now Claptone), Raving George (now Charlotte de Witte), and Style of Eye (now Galantis) — a tight circle of artists who'd go on to define the next decade of electronic music.
Then it stopped. He moved to the US and kept working on a few more music projects, but he had a bigger plan: stopping music to build businesses and financial freedom first. A 7-figure trading business he still runs today, plus a creator management company. Once he had financial freedom, it was time to return — exactly like he'd promised himself.
His 2010 Crystal Fighters remix resurfaced in the new wave of faster, harder techno — among the ones picking it up: I Hate Models and The Hellp. It went viral across Boiler Room and TikTok clips, introducing his sound to a generation that wasn't there the first time. His own comeback content hit 2.2M views on Instagram in April, and the recurring series is now adding 200+ followers a day.
