With more than 140,000 monthly Spotify listeners, over 12 million streams, and support from industry heavyweights including Black Coffee and Diplo, DJ Berin is rapidly becoming one of the most exciting names in Afro and melodic house. During a recent appearance on Nexus Radio’s Take Five series with host Radio Xio, the rising artist offered an inside look at his journey, creative process, and vision for the future of dance music.
"Thank you for inviting me. This is gonna be fun!" he said, setting the stage for an interview filled with energy, insight, and plenty of memorable moments.
One of the highlights of the discussion centered around Berin’s love for reimagining classic records. The producer revealed his fascination with bringing iconic songs from previous decades into a modern context, specifically referencing David Guetta‘s classic “Baby When The Lights Go Out.” Berin shared his desire to reinvent the track for today’s audiences while preserving the emotional magic that made it resonate in the first place.
For Berin, the current wave of nostalgia sweeping through dance music is no accident. He believes there’s something uniquely powerful about the music of the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s.
"This era of music is something magical and memorable," he explained, noting how these songs remain deeply connected to personal experiences and defining moments in people's lives.
The conversation also explored Berin’s growing list of high-profile collaborations. Having worked alongside respected artists such as Francis Mercier, Diplo, and Gordo, Berin reflected on the personalities that have left the strongest impression on him.
As part of Nexus Radio’s signature Take Five segment, listeners got to see a more personal side of the artist. Berin quickly chose coconut water over an espresso martini and didn’t hesitate when asked where in the world his music feels most at home.
"Ibiza," he answered instantly.
Despite his growing success, Berin remains focused on the bigger picture. Rather than chasing short-lived trends, he hopes the electronic music industry returns to creating records with lasting impact.
In an era where songs can come and go in a matter of weeks, Berin’s commitment to creating timeless music stands out. His philosophy centers on building records that continue connecting with audiences long after their initial release—tracks capable of becoming part of people’s memories and lives.
