Want to throw a raging house party like electronic duo DVBBS? Partying is obligatory in the “woozy” lifestyle so the electronic duo have pretty much gone pro. Alex and Chris decided to throw a wild kegger this past summer and we got the whole thing on camera.
No one said partying hard was easy, and this one came with a few broken bylaws. The house party was so wild it was eventually shut down by the cops, but not without some sick music and dancing first. If you want to throw a raging house party too, just check out their how-to guide, below.

By now it’s pretty obvious that Alex and Chris love what they do. No matter what situation they’re in, they always find a way to break tension with a joke. Tracking vocals was particularly funny, especially when the guys started experimenting with auto tune and voice effects. In this episode, DVBBS shows us the reason why their music makes people want to party. Essentially, it’s because their carefree attitude translates into their music. They even overcame writer’s block by messing around on a go-kart track. DVBBS yet again demonstrates that if you have fun at your job, you’ll never work a day in your life.

After a long first day in the studio, Alex and Chris decided to continue working late into the night. When they returned with the Qosmio in the morning, the guys showed up with two new beats. It was hard for them to decide which song to choose but following some heated deliberation they decided a competition was the best way to make a decision. In this episode of Track It Yourself, we see how life outside the studio can inspire new music. Chris gets some new ink, Alex shows us his unorthodox methods for writing lyrics and we get to hear what’s starting to sound like a finished song.
