Berlin duo DJ HEARTSTRING are bringing their emotionally charged, high-intensity dancefloor experience to Melbourne this spring, announcing a headline show at The Wool Store on Friday 25th September 2026, presented by Untitled Group, and supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.
Marking the first Wool Store show of the year as part of the 2026 series, the event lands on Melbourne's public holiday for the AFL Grand Final, setting the tone for one of the first major nights of the spring season on Melbourne's electronic calendar. The announcement follows Untitled Group's recent launch of a dedicated Instagram channel for The Wool Store, signalling a new chapter for the venue - set to act as the central hub for upcoming news, community updates and event info.Presented as part of their anticipated return to Australia following a standout set at Beyond the Valley, the show arrives amid a breakout period that has cemented DJ HEARTSTRING as one of electronic music's most exciting new-generation acts.
Built around contrast and duality, DJ HEARTSTRING - Leo and Jonas - blend melancholy and euphoria, pop sensibility and underground energy, and high-BPM trance influences with emotionally driven songwriting. The pair first connected in Berlin, drawing on contrasting musical upbringings across underground club culture and early electronic discovery, before developing their signature Trance Dance Music (TDM) sound.
Since emerging in 2021, they have built a devoted international following through euphoric, nostalgia-tinged DJ sets and peak-time productions designed to turn dancefloors into shared emotional release points. Their rise has included appearances at Movement Detroit, ARC Music Festival, Awakenings, Lost Village and We Love Green, alongside viral moments including their Boiler Room Melbourne set.
The announcement follows their recent single 'A Thousand Lies' with DMA'S via Steel City Dance Discs, a defining moment in their current era and a track that has quickly become a standout in their sets. It adds to a run of widely supported releases and collaborations that have helped shape their rise, including 'Don't Stop' with southstar and 'If U Want My Heart' with KETTAMA and KLP, alongside a catalogue of high-impact club tracks that consistently bridge euphoric trance energy with melodic, vocal-driven hooks. Across releases and edits that regularly resonate across global rave communities and peak-time DJ moments, DJ HEARTSTRING have built a reputation for translating emotion directly into dancefloor release.
Known for transforming dancefloors into deeply emotional shared experiences, DJ HEARTSTRING's Australian return is set to deliver soaring melodies, relentless energy and hands-in-the-air catharsis deep into the night.
