New Audio: JOVM Mainstays Bubba Brothers Share a Sleek, House Banger

Over the past couple of years of this site’s 13-plus year history, I’ve spilled quite a bit of virtual ink covering Portuguese DJ and production duo Bubba Brothers — Eliseo Correia and Justino Santos — and during that period, the duo, which formed back in 2015, have been remarkably prolific, regularly releasing banger after banger after banger . . .

2023 has been a rather busy year for the JOVM mainstays. Earlier this year, they released the Visions EP, an effort that featured: 

  • “Black Beach,” which saw the JOVM mainstays pairing deep house with Balearic house, built around glistening synth arpeggio-driven melodies, skittering beats, twinkling percussion and euphoria-inducing hooks. The song as the duo explain was inspired by and written on Iceland’s famous Black Beach — but somehow manages to evoke swelling summer nights and sweaty clubs. 

  • “Bobby’s Dream” a club rocking, deep house banger built around skittering tweeter and woofer rattling thump, a sampled Rastafarian meditation, glistening synths and enormous hooks. The end result is a woozy and dream-like song act will get asses out of their seats and onto the floor. 

The duo followed the Visions EP with three more singles: 

  • “Meaning” a percussive, banger built around propulsive polyrhythm paired with glistening synth arpeggios, a soulful vocal sample and their unerring knack for euphoric hooks. 

  • “Wasabi” a Larry Levan-indebted bit of deep house built around chunky synth arpeggio blocks, tweeter and woofer rattling, propulsive beats, the duo’s unerring knack for euphoria-inducing hooks — and for the second time in their growing catalog, lyrics sung by the pair. 

  • “Euphoria,” a deep house banger built around percussive polyrhythm, glistening synth oscillations, euphoria-inducing drops and hooks paired with a vocal sample. It’s a crowd-pleasing banger that would rock clubs at Ibiza, Berlin, Paris, New York, Miami and everywhere in between.

The Portuguese duo’s latest single “Foolish” continues an amazing run of melodic, deep house that sounds a bit like a synthesis of Tour de France-era Kraftwerk and Larry Levan-era house built with a trippy motorik groove and blocky synth arpeggios.

The duo’s latest single “Euphoria” continues a remarkable and ongoing run of deep house bangers built around percussive polyrhythm, glistening and oscillating synths, euphoria-inducing drops and hooks paired with a soulful vocal sample. Simply put, it’s a crowd-pleasing banger that would rock clubs at Ibiza, Berlin, Paris, New York, Miami and everywhere in between.

New Audio: Bubba Brothers Share a Thumping, Club Friendly Banger

Over the past couple of years, I’ve managed to spill quite a bit of virtual ink covering Portuguese DJ and production duo Bubba Brothers — Eliseo Correia and Justino Santos — and during that period, the duo, which formed back in 2015, have been remarkably prolific, regularly releasing banger after banger after banger . . .

2023 has been a rather busy year for the JOVM mainstays. Earlier this year, they released the Visions EP, an effort that featured:

The JOVM’s latest single “Wasabi” is a bit of deep house, seemingly indebted to Larry Levan and others, built around chunky synth arpeggio blocks, tweeter and woofer rattling, propulsive beats, the duo’s remarkably unerring knack for euphoric hooks — and for the second time in their history, lyrics sung by the duo. Remember, dear reader, “house music all night long . . .”

Portuguese DJ and production duo Bubba Brothers — Eliseo Correia and Justino Santos — formed back in 2015. Over the past few years, I’ve managed to spill quite a bit of virtual ink covering the Portuguese JOVM mainstays. And during that period they’ve been remarkably prolific, releasing an increasing number of club friendly bangers.

Earlier this year, the duo released the Visions EP, an effort that featured two tracks I’ve written about:

  • “Black Beach,” which saw the JOVM mainstays pairing deep house with Balearic house, built around glistening synth arpeggio-driven melodies, skittering beats, twinkling percussion and euphoria-inducing hooks. The song as the duo explain was inspired by and written on Iceland’s famous Black Beach — but somehow manages to evoke swelling summer nights and sweaty clubs. 
  • “Bobby’s Dream” a club rocking, deep house banger built around skittering tweeter and woofer rattling thump, a sampled Rastafarian meditation, glistening synths and enormous hooks. The end result is a woozy and dream-like song act will get asses out of their seats and onto the floor.

The Portuguese JOVM mainstays’ latest single “Meaning” is a percussive, club friendly banger built around propulsive polyrhythm paired with glistening synth arpeggios, a soulful vocal sample and their unerring knack for euphoric hooks.

New Video: Bubba Brothers Shares Woozy “Bobby’s Dream”

Portuguese DJ and production duo Bubba Brothers — Eliseo Correia and Justino Santos — formed back in 2015. Over the past couple of years, I’ve managed to spill quite a bit of virtual ink covering the Portuguese JOVM mainstays, and during that period they have developed and maintained a reputation for being remarkably prolific, releasing a growing collection of club friendly bangers.

Building upon their growing reputation for being prolific, the duo released the Visions EP earlier this year. The EP featured “Black Beach,” a track that saw the duo pairing deep house with Balearic house and built around glistening synth arpeggio-driven melodies, skittering beats, twinkling percussion and euphoria-inducing hooks. The song as the duo explain was inspired by and written on Iceland’s famous Black Beach — but somehow manages to evoke swelling summer nights and sweaty clubs.

Visions EP‘s latest single “Bobby’s Dream” continues the duo’s remarkable run of club rocking, deep house bangers. Built around skittering tweeter and woofer rattling thump, a sampled Rastafarian meditation, glistening synths and enormous hooks, “Bobby’s Dream” is a woozy and dream-like banger.

The accompanying video continues for “Bobby’s Dream,” the Portuguese JOVM mainstays’ ongoing collaboration with Eduardo Raposo. Much like “Black Beach,” the video for “Bobby’s Dream” is shot in a cinematic and breathtakingly gorgeous black and white, and follows a young man attempting to fall asleep and having a surreal and incredibly vivid dream.
