From Defqon.1’s Endshow to your headphones: DBSTF & Isaac release ‘Berlin’

After the success of their previous collab, the trio is back with a brand new banger, encapsulating their signature sounds on a massive track for the dancefloor.

The D-Block & S-te-Fan + DJ Isaac is synonymous with success. ‘Slave To The Rave’, ‘World Renowned’ and ‘Harder State Of Mind’ are some of the most famous tracks of the three of them, each counting millions of streams. Today it’s time to welcome their brand new collab, which is already a major hit and a very anticipated track in the hardstyle scene ‘Berlin’.

This track is definitely what you can expect from a collaboration between D-Block, S-te-Fan, and Isaac. “It’s cool to see this combination is a match”, D-Block & S-te-Fan told us. “We have a lot of respect for Isaac, both in the studio and as a person. We are most well known for our melodies and the drive in our songs and together with the sounds and concepts from Isaac you get a very nice blend of styles that makes a track into a special project. Also, the chemistry in the studio is great, we have a lot of fun and laughter, which makes working together very natural”.

“Amsterdam is our Berlin and hardstyle is our techno”

‘Berlin’ is definitely a blend of styles and you can hear it from the very first second of the track. The mantra “Amsterdam ist unser Berlin” is repeated along the drops and build-ups, that create a very unique atmosphere. What was the inspiration and the creative process behind this tune? “The inspiration lies in the fact that Berlin is the mekka of techno, with Berghain as the temple, whereas Amsterdam is the cradle of where the word ‘hardstyle’ was invented”, they tell us. “We wanted to implement a lot of elements from back in the days - from the techno driven drops to the hardtrance, oldschool and hardcore. The scenes that all together shaped the beginning of hardstyle”.

This track was premiered at D-Block & S-te-Fan’s 15 Years Special at REBiRTH Festival earlier this year. Since the very first moment, ‘Berlin’ became a very anticipated track and, since then, it has been played all over the world, including a feature in Defqon.1’s The Endshow, getting stuck at people’s memories and feelings quite early before the release. “The best memories for us are always while creating a song”, D-Block & S-te-Fan admit. “It’s very special to work on a project and see the puzzle pieces fall into place, because with your creation you built something everlasting. Everything else is a bonus”.
