Portuguese DJ and production duo Bubba Brothers — Eliseo Correia and Justino Santos — formed back in 2015. And since then, the JOVM mainstays have released a prolific array of club rockers. including a growing batch of singles I’ve written about over the past year.
Continuing upon a rather prolific period, the Portuguese duo’s latest single “Desire” is a sultry club banger that sounds like a mix of Larry Levan/Chicago house, tribal house and Balearic house rooted in slick, modern production, tweeter and woofer rattling beats and euphoria-inducing hooks. Although it’s been unseasonably warm here in New York over the past week or so, “Desire” manages to be a warm reminder of summer dance parties.

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.

And since their formation, the electronic music duo and 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 JOVM mainstays latest single “Tribe” is a hypnotic and euphoric banger centered around tribal percussion, glistening synth arpeggios, chopped up vocal samples, skittering twitter and roofer rattling thump paired with the duo’s unerring knack for enormous, crowd-pleasing hooks. And while continuing a run of infectious club bangers, “Tribe” may arguably be among their most soulful to date.
Bubba Brothers — Eliseo Correia and Justino Santos — is a Portuguese DJ and production duo that formed back in 2015. And since their formation, the duo have produced and released an increasing number of dance floor rocking hits, including:
2019’s “Carla’s Beat” which landed at #21 on Beatport’s Top 100 Chart and at #6 on the Top Releases Chart. The track received airplay on London-based Trickstar Radio’s Metropolis, and as a result they were invited to play at Spain-based Los 40 Radio.
2019’s “Tonyca,” which was selected as one of the songs of the summer at Faro, Portugal-based club LICK.
Over the past couple of months, I’ve written about five singles in the Portuguese duo’s growing catalog:
“Amandla (Tutu),” a euphoric, Balearic house meets tribal house banger, featuring skittering and percussive beats and a soulful vocal sample.
“No Name Song,” a deep house banger, centered around tweeter and woofer rattling beats, explosive hi-hats, glistening and a trance-inducing groove meant to get you off your ass and moving.
“Karma” a seemingly Ibiza-like deep house banger centered around percussive, tribal thump, skittering beats and glistening and oscillating synths placed within an expansive, hook-driven song structure.
“Make House, Not War,” another club banger, centered around a reverb-drenched, chopped up vocal sample, tribal beats, deep bass drops and a propulsive and melodic bass line. And although the song continued a remarkable run of euphoric bangers, the song draws from our uncertain and tumultuous time: “Music has always been a form of peaceful statement and freedom of expression,” the duo explain. “Our message is clear in this track: More House. No War.” They add that the strong and intense drops in the song specifically represent the violence and bludgeoning of war while the melodic bass line represents the peace that they hope prevails in the end.
“Let’s Have Sax,” a propulsive club banger centered around skittering hi-hat, tweeter and woofer rattling beats, chopped up vocal samples paired with a mournful, modal-like sax line. The end result is a warm, soulful yet playful banger that simultaneously nods at classic, Larry Levan-era house.
Their latest single, the expansive “Bass” is a bit of a return to form with the song being a straightforward Ibiza meets Larry Levan-like take on house music, featuring a spoken word section with a female narrator talking about what bass means to the listener/dancer at a club. The track continues a remarkable run of crowd-pleasing bangers.

Adding to a growing profile across the European Union, the Portuguese act have made appearances on a number of TV channels including TVI 24. They’ve played sets at the international electronic music festival circuit including Faro Academic Week, Sun and Moon Festival, Dancefloor Leiria and Pete Tha Zouk’s Infinity Sunset. They’ve also played clubs like London-based Ministry of Sound.
Over the past couple of months, I’ve written about four singles in the Portuguese duo’s growing catalog:
“Amandla (Tutu),” a euphoric, Balearic house meets tribal house banger, featuring skittering and percussive beats and a soulful vocal sample.
“No Name Song,” a deep house banger, centered around tweeter and woofer rattling beats, explosive hi-hats, glistening and a trance-inducing groove meant to get you off your ass and moving.

The Portuguese duo will be playing their first ever club gig in Ibiza at El Paradis on June 26, 2022. And to celebrate the occasion, the duo recently released a new single, the propulsive club banger “Let’s Have Sax.” Centered around skittering hi-hat, woofer and tweeter rattling beats, chopped up vocal samples paired with a mournful modal-like sax line, “Let’s Have Sax” finds the duo crafting a warm, soulful yet playful banger that nods at classic, Larry Levan-era house.
The duo paired their latest club banger with a punny and sultry visual that shows a hand unzipping a little black dress, that same hand running up the woman’s body with interspersed split screens with a saxophone player. The couple becomes increasingly sensual as it glides to its conclusion.

The Portuguese duo’s latest single “Make House, not war” continues a remarkable run of euphoric club bangers featuring a reverb-drenched, chopped up vocal sample, tribal beats, deep bass drops and a melodic and propulsive bass line. If this song doesn’t make you get up and start moving, you might probably be dead by now.
But while euphoric, “Make House not war” is deeply informed by our wildly uncertain and tumultuous time: “Music has always been a form of peaceful statement and freedom of expression,” the duo explain. “Our message is clear in this track: More House. No War.”
The Portuguese duo add that the song is their message for this time with the strong and intense drops representing war and the melodic baseline representing the peace that they hope prevails in the end. May peace prevail — and may you get out there and cherish the freedom of being on the dance floor.

“No Name Song,” landed at on Traxsource‘s House and EDM charts for a number of consecutive weeks, and once you hear it, you’ll quickly figure out how that happened: “No Name Song” is a deep house banger, centered around tweeter and woofer rattling beats, explosive hi-hats, glistening synth arpeggios and a trance-inducing groove. And much like “Amandla,” “No Name Song” will get you off and ass and moving.

As the duo explain, “Amandla” is a homage to the righteous activist and minister Desmond Tutu. They see the song as a joyous tribute to what’s life all about.
