HI-LO

HI-LO is the collaborative project of Michael Peter and Martin Retschitzegger, a partnership that has operated under a wide range of names and configurations. Their work is associated with house and its club-oriented offshoots, including dutch house and electro house, and they have also used aliases such as Hi Lo, Hi/Lo, Hi-Lo-Produktion, and III-l.O. Beyond variations on the HI-LO name, the duo’s broader catalogue of identities includes The Memory Foundation, Skinless Brothers, Ratio, Rhythmiker vs. Ratio, Glory B, Maybe And Her Boneless Sisters, Die Rhythmiker, The Skinless Brothers, and Zaubervogel, reflecting a long-running practice of releasing music under different banners.

According to Discogs, Peter and Retschitzegger run the Central Records label, which was originally based in Vienna, Austria, and later relocated to Berlin. In that context, HI-LO sits alongside their other credited projects as part of a wider body of production and label activity rather than a standalone moniker. The HI-LO name and its variants are most closely tied to dancefloor-focused house music, aligning with the duo’s placement within dutch house and electro house as well as more general house styles.

HI-LO releases have appeared on labels including HILOMATIK, Drumcode, Armada Music, and Filth on Acid. These imprints situate the project within contemporary electronic music networks that span mainstream dance releases and harder-edged club programming, and they provide a snapshot of how the HI-LO name has been used in circulation. While the duo’s discography extends beyond any single platform’s tracking, the available label and alias information points to a career built around multiple identities and a consistent focus on house-driven production.
