DJ Heartstring

DJ Heartstring is a Berlin-based duo working in a fast, melodic strain of techno that draws heavily on 1990s rave and trance. Their tracks combine hard kicks and rolling breaks with bright synth lines and vocal snippets, and their DJ sets follow the same logic, pushing tempos while keeping hands-in-the-air melodies at the centre.

The project emerged alongside a broader revival of hard dance and trance influences in Berlin's club scene, and the pair are known for productions and edits that pair nostalgic sounds with contemporary club pressure.
