In its 2013 poll, DJ Mag named Dash Berlin the No. 10 DJ in the world. It’s his fourth year on the list, owing both to his stellar production in the studio, with songs featuring emotionally powerful melodies that transcend the barriers between progressive and trance, and his amazing energy in live performance. Dash Berlin concerts are intense experiences, often clocking in at over three hours of spectacular build-ups, heavy bass lines and swooping synth melodies. He's a magnetic, dynamic presence on stage, always working to get his audience psyched up. He adds a live element as well, touring with singers like Emma Hewitt and Jonathan Mendelsohn, whose uplifting lyrics were featured on Dash Berlin’s most recent smash hit, 2013's “Steal You Away,” one of 11 singles from his album #musicislife #deluxe.
Many people think of Dash Berlin as the stage name of Dutch DJ and producer Jeffrey Sutorius, but Dash only came into existence in 2007, after Sutorius met Eelke Kalberg and Sebastiaan Molijn, the Dutch production duo who helped found the trance movement, working behind-the-scenes with artists like Vengaboys, Candee Jay, and Alice Deejay. With Kalberg and Molijn behind him, Dash Berlin debuted in 2007, when “Till the Sky Falls Down” rocketed to the top of trance charts worldwide. Two years later, he won an International Dance Music Award for Best High Energy Track for "Waiting," and has been nominated for the award every year since as well. His 2012 album #musicislife included award-winning singles like “Better Half Of Me” and “Go It Alone,” and the 2013 #deluxe edition gave us “Steal You Away” and “Jar Of Hearts.” With a series of hits and an electric live show, Dash Berlin continues to be one of the hottest tickets in trance music.
