Daniel Steinberg is back on the KOTT pages with a double sided release ‘Healing / The Sample’ on his Arms & Legs label.
Berlin’s Daniel Steinberg returns to his trusted Arms & Legs imprint with Healing / The Sample, a double-header that sees the seasoned producer lean into his signature blend of soul-drenched house and cheeky, club-ready mischief. With a catalogue that consistently balances slick production with bags of personality, this release is yet another shining example of his groove-driven approach.
Opener “Healing” is a warm, deep cut built on a foundation of Rhodes-drenched nostalgia and subtle funk. The track eases in with buttery keys and a pillowy bassline, giving way to crisp drums and flickers of soulful vocal stabs that swirl and echo across the mix. It’s a track that oozes positive energy without going over the top, perfect for that golden hour dancefloor moment when the crowd is fully locked in. There’s a measured restraint here, as Steinberg lets the groove breathe and allows each element to slide into place naturally.
Flipping to the B-side, “The Sample” changes the mood with a lively, chopped-up disco house affair that channels pure after-hours energy. This one’s all about bounce, with snappy percussion, jittery vocal edits, and loose-limbed swing combining to give it that unmistakable Steinberg flair. While it’s rooted in classic house traditions, the execution feels fresh and cheeky, perfect for DJs looking to inject some playful attitude into their sets.
Together, these tracks showcase two complementary sides of Steinberg’s sound: the emotive, groove-laced warmth of “Healing” and the raw, party-starting vibe of “The Sample.” It’s a testament to his continued relevance on the circuit, marrying timeless house aesthetics with just enough edge to keep things exciting.
