Before producing electronic music, Tube & Berger started out as a punk band.[3] The duo achieved their first international breakthrough in 2004 with their song "Straight Ahead" with Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders. It reached number one on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart.[4] Since 2005, the duo releases music on their own label Kittball Records, which is managed by DJane Juliet Sikora and themselves.[1] From then on, the duo started touring throughout North and South America, Australia, Asia and Europe.[5]

Their 2012 release "Lovebreak" was the ninth highest-selling deep house track on Beatport,[6] while their 2013 track "Imprint of Pleasure" was the ninth highest tech house track on Beatport.[7] The song reached 37 million plays on YouTube and 32 million streams in Spotify.[citation needed]

In 2017, they played at the Tomorrowland Festival in Belgium.[8]

Their second album, We Are All Stars was released on their own label Kittball Records in 2017.[9] A remix edition of the album was released soon after, with contributions from artists such as Amine Edge & D.A.N.C.E, Juliet Sikora, Illyus & Barrientos, Rene Amesz, Dennis Cruz, Teenage Mutants and Format: B.[10] In 2018, the duo had multiple week long tours throughout Australia,[11] the U.S., Canada and South America. [5]

In collaboration with Junior Jack, the duo released the track "E Samba 2018" which was a number one in Germany's Club Charts (DCC).[12] Furthermore, the track was number one in Beatport's house charts for 6 weeks[13] and was Beatport's fourth most sold house track of 2018.[14] Remixes for this track were released soon after, with contributions from Kellerkind and Josh Butler.[13]
