Portuguese DJ and production duo Bubba Brothers — Eliseo Correia and Justino Santos — formed back in 2015. And since their formation, the JOVM mainstays have released a prolific array of dance floor rocking hits, including a batch of singles I’ve written about over the course of this past year.
The Portuguese duo’s latest single “Umi” sees the pair crafting a sleek, slickly produced bit of melodic house centered around glistening synth arpeggios, skittering beats, and a relentless motorik groove paired with their unerring knack for euphoria-inducing hooks. Sonically, “Umi” strikes me as being a synthesis of Tour de France-era Kraftwerk and Between Two Selves-era Octo Octa.
