Electronic dance music duo DVBBS have teamed up with alt-rock singer Jesse Jo Stark for their massive new festival anthem, "Breathe," out now through Spinnin' Records. This hard-hitting collaboration marks a new chapter for the seasoned hitmakers as they finalize a joint venture with a soon-to-be-named major label and continue making waves with their independent imprint, Kanary Records.
Since bursting onto the scene over a decade ago with their breakout global smash "Tsunami," Canada's Christopher and Alex Andre have been on a wild ride. From releasing dance floor fillers to selling out shows and tours worldwide, DVBBS have become mainstays in DJ sets and on radio airwaves worldwide. They've also flexed their crossover abilities in recent years, teaming up with many famous names.
After years of success, the duo is returning to the underground sounds that started it all for them and their fans. "Breathe" exemplifies this back-to-basics approach, with pulsating basslines, swirling synths and Stark's gritty vocals coming together for a dark, hypnotic thrill ride. As DVBBS put it, "It's time we go dive deep to the underground where everything started for us, our fans, and our team."
Jesse Jo Stark has been hailed as one of music's most exciting up-and-comers, her magnetic voice and edgy fashion-rock style. With roots in the LA rock scene, the singer-songwriter brings a bold, genre-smashing flair that complements DVBBS' full-throttle production. This marks her first collaboration with an EDM act.
According to DVBBS, "She's one of the dopest upcoming acts with a voice and presence that will take you down the full journey into her world of melody, fashion, and rock 'n' roll, and let me tell you, her world is like nothing that you have experienced before."
"Breathe" sets the tone for this new creative partnership, with DVBBS' thunderous beats and synths providing the perfect backdrop for Stark's raw yet melodic vocals. Haunting guitar riffs and distorted vocal hooks add to the track's dark sensory experience. Lyrically, the singer's raspy voice pleads for space to breathe amid the chaos. It's three-and-a-half minutes of full-on sonic exhilaration.
"Breathe" is more than just the launch of a new single. It's the beginning of a fresh chapter for DVBBS and Jesse Jo Stark, one filled with the promise of innovative music and a commitment to providing fans worldwide with unforgettable auditory experiences.
Beyond the single, DVBBS' joint venture with the major label also signifies an exciting new phase for the hitmaking duo. While details are still under wraps, the partnership will enable the group to amplify their music globally while retaining full creative control under their Kanary Records banner. It's a best-of-both-worlds scenario that plays to the pair's strengths.
While fans wait for DVBBS' new album, "Breathe" offers a glimpse at what's to come. Stark's haunting vocals, paired with their trademark big room sound, create a radio-ready festival anthem. Yet the single maintains the raw energy that launched DVBBS to stardom all those years ago. After a wild yet rewarding decade in dance music, the duo continues to evolve with singles like "Breathe." Alex and Christopher are just getting started on their next chapter.
