DVBBS biography

Van den Hoef brothers DVBBS is a Canadian electronic dance music / electronic house group currently based in Los Angeles, California.

Brothers Alexandre and Christopher, natives of Orangeville, Ontario in Canada, spent two years recording their debut album entitled “Initio” which was ultimately released in March 2012. They drew upon several genre influences, which include house, electronic, dubstep, as well as reggae. They started to gain a lot of attention with their single “Tsunami” which was promoted by Dutch DJ Sander Van Doorn, eventually finding it way to BBC Radio 1 airplay. The song also reached Number 1 on the itunes charts in the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Germany and their home country of Canada.

In 2013 they joined Adventure Club for their North American fall and winter tour, and have also have the chance to perform with Tiesto, Steve Aoki, Martin Garrix, Showtek as well as Van Doorn himself. During the same year, they were also awarded with the “Ones To Watch” award from Canadian Urban Music Awards. They also made a number of appearances at major music festivals throughout both 2013 and 2014, including Osheaga in Montreal, Canada, Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas, Nevada, Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Florida, Emmaboda Festival in Sweden and Fantasia Festival in Belgium. Additionally, in March 2014 British rapper Tinie Tempah released a remix of “Tsunami” and fared extremely well.

Live reviews

There’s nothing quite like a bit of good old-fashioned brotherly love, which perhaps explains quite why it is that DVBBS have already managed to achieve so much, just two years after they first began making music together; the young siblings from Ontario, Canada have had a huge impact on the ‘big room house’ scene, both with commercial successes like their single ‘Tsunami (Jump)’ - which features Tinie Tempah - and through their genuinely thrilling live shows; if anything, it’s been the latter that have been instrumental in really reinforcing the group’s reputation to date. Admittedly, they only have a relatively limited cache of material to be working with, given how short in the toot the group currently is, but it’s probably for the best that their live sets are kept as short, sharp shocks anyway; tracks are meshed at breakneck pace and snippets of current house staples aired as the Van Den Hoef brothers prove just how adept they are at controlling fervent crowds in packed clubs, as well as commanding the attention of huge festival gatherings.
