Title: Beautiful Disaster EP
Label: KANARY/Spinnin’ Records
Release date: 02 December 2016
Few producers have risen to the top in the electronic music scene as quickly as DVBBS, who captured the industry’s attention with their first hit “Gold Skies” and never let it go. The Canadian brothers Alex and Christopher have been continuously cultivating their sound since their debut in 2012, and their latest EP, “Beautiful Disaster“, is the most dynamic display of their musical prowess yet. The six track EP contains the previously released gems “Not Going Home“, “24K“, and “Ur on My Mind” as well as three brand new tracks for their hungry fans. For the EP the duo recruited various guest collaborators, including hip hop superstar Juicy J as well as Stella Rio, Gia Koka and Ramriddlz. DVBBS effectively breaks the mold on “Beautiful Disaster” with sounds that range from the gorgeous, melodic vocals of “Wicked Ways” to the rap-laced party starter “Moonrock“, to the wistful, groovy “Doja (No Lie)“. The variety and electric compilation of music that comprises “Beautiful Disaster” is indicative of its inception-when asked about their inspiration, they say:
“This whole world exists in this sacred balance of ups and downs, positives and negatives, all coming together; a beautiful disaster.”
Alex and Christopher plan on showcasing their new material on their upcoming US and Canada shows, which are now officially on sale (dates below). The duo has also shot a comedic video with icon Tommy Chong, of Grammy Award winning comedy pair “Cheech & Chong“, in anticipation of their release.

One thing is certain: DVBBS is doing something right. The duo has become known for their vibrant, energetic sound and skillful use of vocals from the beginning, and the new EP makes it clear that their taste is only evolving-they’ve recently branded their sound as “Woozy“. Their electric live performances have led them to play over 200 shows per year, from Tomorrowland to EDC Las Vegas and Ultra Music Festival. DVBBS crested the DJ Mag Top 100 list at Number 16 in 2015, solidifying that these brothers are here to stay. Aside from their own music career, DVBBS has been growing their own musical imprint, KANARY. If you think KANARY is going to be just another EDM imprint, think again; DVBBS has massive plans for their label that will further shatter the norms of today’s current scene. We can’t wait to see what DVBBS has in store for 2017, but rest assured – it will be epic.
