Kalberg and Molijn have been contributing to the international dance scene for over twenty years, with award-winning and platinum-selling hits for dance acts such as Alice Deejay, Vengaboys, Candee Jay, Pronti and Kalmani and Solid Sessions. Their track "Better Off Alone" was one of the first trance records that became big in the U.S. and was later sampled by French superstar DJ David Guetta in his song "Play Hard" and one of America's biggest rappers Wiz Khalifa in his breakthrough record "Say Yeah". They also had worked together with DJ Sander Kleinenberg on classic tracks like "This Is Miami" and "The Fruit" and remixes for major artists such as Justin Timberlake ('Rock Your Body' Remix winning the award for 'Best Remix' at the Dance Star USA Awards), Janet Jackson, BT, Usher, N.E.R.D., Lenny Kravitz, Junkie XL, Rรถyksopp, Mylo and Annie Lennox.
On 18 June 2018, Sutorius announced his split from Dash Berlin while severing ties with Kalberg and Molijn, alleging mismanagement and career neglect issues. Beginning October 2018, Sutorius has been performing and releasing songs credited under his own name, while Dash Berlin continued as a duo. Sutorius later gained Legal ownership of the name on 21 June 2019 while Kalberg and Molijn were forced out from Dash Berlin to pursue their own musical projects.
On 29 March 2021, Sutorius announced on his Facebook page that he would onwards perform, produce and release music under his own name "Jeffrey Sutorius". The announcement came after he had lost a legal dispute with the former members of the group who has since 17 March 2021 been the legal owners of the Dash Berlin trademark.

Dash Berlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess they've never seen my island,
And where it lies at sea
I'm lost inside my memory.
I'm still in disbelief.
If I could paint a picture for you this is what you'd see
I'm down on my knees
Please stop me
Don't let me run
Surround me...Surround me...now
A wounded man sounds desperate when he's lost all his belief
Can you look into my eyes and say you won't betray me
We're running out of time
How precious time can be
I'm counting all the moments of the times you could have helped me
I'm down on my knees
Begging you to rescue me
Please stop me
Don't let me run
Surround me...Surround me
I'm down on my knees
Begging you to rescue me
Please stop me
Don't let me run
Surround me...Surround me
Surround me now
Dicen que ningรบn hombre es una isla, pero no suelen estar de acuerdo
Creo que nunca he visto a mi isla,
Y en el que se encuentra en el mar
Estoy perdido dentro de mi memoria.
Todavรญa estoy en la incredulidad.
Si pudiera pintar un cuadro para usted esto es lo que verรญas
Estoy sobre mis rodillas
Ruego a mi rescate
Por favor, deje de mรญ, no quiero correr
Me rodean ...
Ahora me rodean ...
Ahora me rodean ...
Un hombre herido cuando suena desesperada que ha perdido todas
Sus creencias
ยฟPuede usted mirar a los ojos y decir que no me traicionan
Estamos acabando el tiempo
ยฟCรณmo puede ser un tiempo precioso
Estoy contando los momentos de todos los tiempos que podrรญan haber
Ayudado a mรญ
Estoy sobre mis rodillas
Ruego a mi rescate
Por favor, deje de mรญ, no quiero correr
Me rodean me rodean ...
Estoy sobre mis rodillas
Ruego a mi rescate
Por favor, deje de mรญ, no quiero correr
Me rodean ...
Me rodean
Ahora me rodean
Estoy sobre mis rodillas
Ruego a mi rescate
Por favor, deje de mรญ, no quiero correr
Me rodean ...
Me rodean ...
