Escape To Metropolis: House, Tech & UK Garage - Every Saturday

Lovebirds lands in east London for a Saturday session at Metropolis on 23 May 2026. Behind the alias is German producer Sebastian Döring, a fixture of European house with a sound that blends warmth and groove without fuss. His productions and DJ sets lean into deep, disco‑tinted house, swinging percussion and basslines built for long, fluid transitions. Think velvet chords, crisp drum work and vocal fragments used as texture rather than fireworks.

A seasoned crate digger with a feel for melody, Lovebirds moves between soulful rollers, funk‑laced edits and sharper club cuts with a light touch. He’s equally at ease teasing dusty boogie influences as he is letting a garage shuffle or a minimal groove take the lead. The result is a dancefloor narrative that stays close to the roots of house while nodding to UKG and streamlined tech sensibilities when the moment calls for it.

If you know his enduring cut Want You In My Soul, you already get the mood: intimate, musical and driving. On Saturday at Metropolis, expect a patient build, warm low end and the kind of detail that keeps you locked in for the duration.
