Dvbbs (stylized as DVBBS; pronounced "dubs") is a Canadian EDM duo formed in 2012, composed of brothers Chris Chronicles (born Christopher van den Hoef, January 1, 1990) and Alex Andre (born Alexandre van den Hoef, October 17, 1991).[1][2]
History
Career
The Van den Hoefs are natives of Orangeville, Ontario.[3] Their father is Dutch and migrated to Canada, their mother is Greek Canadian. The two DJs lived in Athens, Greece for two years. They are currently based in Los Angeles, California,[3] as well as Toronto, Ontario, and are signed with Josh Herman at STRVCTVRE Artist Management.
DVBBS spent two months recording their EP, Initio, released in March 2012.[1][4] The EP features influences from a variety of genres, including house, electronic, dubstep and reggae.[5][6]
Their greatest hit came with "Tsunami". It had been promoted by Dutch DJ Sander van Doorn, although he denied being the producer.[7] The song was confirmed by Pete Tong to be the work of DVBBS and Borgeous when Tong played the song on his BBC Radio 1 show on August 16, 2013.[8] It was officially released on Sander Van Doorn's label Doorn Records on August 19, 2013.[7][9] It also reached #1 on the Beatport 100.[10] A vocal remix featuring British rapper Tinie Tempah entitled "Tsunami (Jump)" was released in Tempah's native United Kingdom in March 2014, on Ministry of Sound Recordings.
Live performances
DVBBS have performed with Tiësto, NERVO, Steve Aoki, Martin Garrix, Showtek, Sander Van Doorn, DJ Snake and others.[3][6] In 2013, they joined Adventure Club for their North American fall/winter tour,[11] and were to perform at numerous music festivals.[12] The duo have been playing at mainstage Tomorrowland (festival), Ultra Music Festival, and Creamfields, among many others.
