The Twelves, from Rio De Janeiro Brazil, are a blog success story. They released their remix of MIA's 'Boys' in July 2007, and it became one of the most talked about tracks within the online electro community, ultimately resulting in being played and plugged by some of the industry's best - most notably Kissy Sell Out who included the track on their BBC's 'In New DJ's We Trust' series.
They have continued to churn out remixes for the likes of Radiohead, La Roux, Fever Ray, The Black Kids and Groove Armada, and have also released a couple of original tooons in the mix.

What sets The Twelves apart from the masses is that, although they are considered a 'DJ Duo', they remix and improvise their tracks on the fly using a bunch of synthesizers, samplers, loop-machines, triggers and a trusty macbook. It adds an essence of spontaneity to their live show, and showcases true musicianship - something many commoners are skeptical of when it comes to DJ/producers.

The Twelves are rapidly rising stars in the dance music underworld. Their debut EP is expected for an early 2010 release and is already receiving hype on some of the leading electro blogs. The Twelves are a testament to the increasing influence of the 'blog' in this evolution of the music industry. But, these guys deserve all the credit they get... their songs are sex on fire.
