Berlin’s melodic techno powerhouse Kevin de Vries teams up with rising star Jast for their latest collaboration, “Born Like That”, out October 24th, 2025 on Afterlife. The release marks catalogue number AL104, adding another chapter to the label’s ongoing evolution of emotional, cinematic sound design.

Crafted with precision and passion, Born Like That arrives in two versions — Extended Mix and Radio Edit — offering both dancefloor depth and accessibility for wider audiences. De Vries, a long-time Afterlife regular, injects his signature hypnotic energy and layered synth architecture, while Jast — fresh off the success of his breakout single “Move” — brings youthful fire and sharp modern textures to the collaboration.

The result is a track built on undulating basslines, intricate melodies, and a haunting vocal hook, capturing the duality of Afterlife’s sound: deeply introspective yet designed for massive stages. Already circulating among top DJs, the single is being hailed as one of the most emotionally charged releases of the season.

From festival peak moments to solitary night drives, Born Like That bridges emotion and euphoria — a hallmark of the Afterlife sound and a testament to De Vries and Jast’s chemistry.
