In a city like Berlin with a musical identity so heavily shaped by house and EDM, it can be tough to stand out from the crowd.

After the 2019 departure of DJ Mario Fiebige, remaining members Johannes Vimalavong and Vitali Zestovskih would delve into a deeper headspace on the Felix Jaehn collaboration “Close Your Eyes”. Crucial to their rise has been their role in pioneering slap house, by imbuing their classic house influences with racing bass rhythms.
