Lovebirds
Lovebirds, the project of Sebastian “Basti” Döring, is a German house DJ and producer who splits his time between Berlin and Hamburg and has spent more than twenty years working within house, disco, and boogie-influenced dance music. He founded Teardrop Recordings in 2008 as an outlet for his own productions and for like-minded artists, and he has released music through Freerange, Buzzin' Fly, and Defected, three labels central to the deeper end of house music over the past two decades.
His track I Want You In My Soul remains one of his best-known productions, having found a lasting audience on the disco-house side of club culture. Döring's DJ sets draw on this same disco and boogie palette, giving his club performances a warmer, groove-focused character distinct from more percussive strains of house.
His label work through Teardrop Recordings has run in parallel with his DJ bookings, giving him a platform to support other producers working in similar territory. Lovebirds' career reflects a steady, long-running presence within the German and international house scene rather than a moment tied to a single hit.
