Brazil in Ottawa

One of the most exciting acts in electronic music right now, we are very excited to bring The Twelves, from Brazil.

"Best Reason to Shut Up and Dance: The Twelves
Their sexy house-inspired jam “Works for Me” landed this Brazilian electronic duo on our 9 Unknown Bands to Watch at SXSW list. At Rusty Spurs, the Twelves earned their SXSW stripes with an airtight, playful DJ mix of old school hip-hop (Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock’s failsafe “It Takes Two”), iconic house (Daft Punk’s Homework-era grooves), and present-day indie rock remixes (Black Kids’ “I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You” really brought the house down). But it’s more than just two dudes and some records: They’re adding keyboard flourishes and drum machine loops to every track, making the already admired hits their own. -- Peter Gaston (Spin Magazine)"
