[D-Block & S-te-Fan](/artists/d-block-s-te-fan) and [Sub Zero Project](/artists/sub-zero-project), four producers, one name. ### Two collaborations, then a formation The pairing had a track record long before it had a name. 'Darkest Hour (The Clock)' (2019) was voted the year's number one in Q-dance's Hardstyle Top 100, and the reunion single 'Change To Follow' premiered at Qlimax 2024 before its release on Scantraxx in March 2025. In January 2026, after a run of cryptic "4444" posts across their channels, the four announced they were making the partnership permanent. The live act, billed as 4 OF A KIND, premiered at Reverze in Antwerp on 28 February 2026, an event D-Block & S-te-Fan had already played twelve times and Sub Zero Project eleven. ### Raw kicks, euphoric hands The sonic arithmetic is simple, and that is rather the point: Sub Zero Project's psy-influenced [rawstyle](/new-rawstyle-releases) kick design carrying D-Block & S-te-Fan's [euphoric](/new-euphoric-hardstyle-releases), vocal-led songwriting. Debut single 'WAITING 4' landed on Tomorrowland Music in June 2026, and July brought '4 THE SCENE' on Defqon.1 Records, a title aimed squarely at the crowd it was written for. ### A stage act first Unusually for a new project, the bookings came before the discography. 4444 OF A KIND was developed as a stage show rather than a studio side venture, and the 2026 festival season carried it from the Reverze premiere to a Red Area showcase at Defqon.1, the Freedom Stage at Tomorrowland on 17 July, and Parookaville, with more dates through the rest of the year. For a project only months old it already sits in the upper tier of hard dance billings, on the strength of two singles and twenty-plus years of combined pedigree.
