DJ Heartstring

Biography

The duo formed in Berlin in 2021. In 2023 they made their Boiler Room debut at AVA with a set made up entirely of their own material, which passed 100,000 views in under a week. The same year they were named BBC Radio 1 Future Dance Stars.^[1][2]

The members are Leo Brede and Jonas Hellberg. They have collaborated with KETTAMA, DMA'S and KLP, and Boiler Room Melbourne in 2024 was another viral moment. They have headlined the Main Space at London's Roundhouse, and play their own night at The Wool Store in Melbourne on 25 September 2026.^[2][3]

At ADE on 25 October 2026 they appeared at the Awakenings Sunday Sessions (Sugarfactory) in a slot shared with Benwal. The day was sold out.^[4]

Sound

Insomniac describes a straight dancefloor groove with the occasional pop extravaganza, in high-energy, bouncy, tear-jerking sets, and the duo place themselves at the front of a movement pining for higher BPMs. Concrete Playground calls their approach emotionally charged and high-energy, blending euphoric influences and pop sensibilities with underground appreciation.^[1][3]
