DubVision stand out from their peers in the realm of house by creating music that embodies emotion. The duo has switched gears toward a more electro house sound with their new track “Sweet Harmony” released via Tiësto’s highly regarded label Musical Freedom.

Hailing from the Netherlands, Dutch brothers Victor and Stephen Leichen are fast conquering the world of dance music as the dynamic duo DubVision. They are as known for their energetic tunes drenched with emotion, as they are for their uplifting melodies and big beats.

The track was featured on Pete Tong’s Essential Selection, Tiësto’s Clublife, David Guetta’s F*ck Me I’m Famous and Afrojack and Bobby Burns’ Jacked. Once the track was released, it hit #8 on the Progressive House Chart on Beatport and #25 overall. DubVision are true stars on the rise, remember the name because you’ll be hearing it a lot in 2016.
