Introduction
DVBBS (pronounced "dubs") are a Canadian electronic duo formed in 2012, composed of brothers Chris Chronicles (b. Christopher van den Hoef, January 1, 1990) and Alex Andre (b. Alexandre van den Hoef, October 17, 1991). They are most famous for their joint international hit with Borgeous titled "Tsunami".
DVBBS spent two months recording their debut, Initio, released in March 2012. The EP features influences from a variety of genres, including house, electronic, dubstep and reggae.
Their greatest hit came with "Tsunami". At first the authorship of the track was not revealed (it is now understood to be authorship of Niles Hollowell-Dhar). The single had been popular at festivals for months prior to its official public release. It had been promoted by Dutch DJ Sander van Doorn, although he denied being the producer. 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. It was officially released on Sander Van Doorn's label Doorn Records on August 19, 2013. It also reached #1 on the Beatport 100. 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.
