Treptow

Sometimes you need to lose your mind, to regain your musical soul. For Berlin DJ/producer Daniel Steinberg, an intense touring period in the wake the releasing of his debut album Shut Up warranted just that.

Suffering from a heavy tour comedown and questioning the direction of not just his music, but his ongoing desire to continue as a globetrotting artist, he locked himself in his East Berlin studio for a nine-day period of self-imposed exile that ultimately laid the foundations for his latest opus, Treptow.

To encase oneself in the world of Steinbergs Treptow is to be taken on a trip through the artists kaleidoscopic musical consciousness, which effortlessly swings from the multi-layered bass grooves and low-slung funk of Mechanics, to the disco-tinged vibes of True Romance and Joy & Happiness, the latter of which received Beatports Track of the Day upon release in February last year.
