Biography
[edit]Parts of this article (those related to Biography section) need to be updated. The reason given is: Information in section covers until year 2014. (March 2018) |
Stephan and Victor's parents pressured the duo to learn to play an instrument during their childhood, so they learned to play the piano at age 7. They grew up in several countries, where they grew to appreciate musical influences from different cultures. At a later age, Victor began experimenting with electronic music, using different computer programs. After seeing his younger brother producing, Steve became interested, and the two decided to team up as a group.[4]
In 2012, DubVision collaborated with Project 46 on the song "You & I", which they released on Spinnin' Records. That same year, they also made their debut on Axtone Records with their rendition of "Committed To Sparkle Motion" by Discopolis.[5] They released "Redux" through Spinnin' to start off 2013, and, later that year, also made their debut on Doorn Records with their track "Into the Light", in which they collaborated with Sander van Doorn.[6][7] In 2014, they released "Backlash" on Spinnin' Records, which marked their first Beatport #1 overall chart track.[8] DubVision also performed at the 2014 edition of Tomorrowland for the first time in Belgium.[9] They then remixed "Gold Skies" by Sander van Doorn and Martin Garrix for their next release on Spinnin' Records.[10] They collaborated with Feenixpawl for "Destination", their sophomore track on Axtone, for their next release.[11] For their final track of the year, they put out the single "Turn It Around," through Spinnin' Records as well.[12]
In 2018, DubVision joined forces with Firebeatz to form the supergroup METAFO4R, debuting their collaboration at EDC Las Vegas.[13] As a quartet, they released their first single, "Best Part Of Me," which was well-received by audiences. METAFO4R followed up in 2019 with the track "Rave Machine," which further showcased the synergy between DubVision and Firebeatz.
DubVision continued to gain recognition for their collaborative projects. In 2020, they worked with Alesso on the single "One Last Time," a track that highlighted their ability to evolve and adapt within the electronic music genre.[14] Their collaborations with Martin Garrix in 2022 produced tracks like "Starlight (Keep Me Afloat)" and "Oxygen," both featured on Garrix's album Sentio. These releases further cemented DubVision’s status as prominent figures in the electronic dance music scene.
Through their consistent output, DubVision has maintained a strong presence in the global music scene, performing at major festivals, releasing chart-topping tracks, and working with industry-leading artists. Their ability to blend influences from various genres and cultures continues to define their innovative sound.
In July 2024 Dutch duo DubVision have released their debut album “Another World” under STMPD RCRDS reflecting the dynamic energy of their live performances. The album features high-profile collaborations with electronic music titans like Martin Garrix, who appears on two tracks, AFROJACK, and the emotive vocals of Jem Cooke. The lead single "Home," featuring Shaun Farrugia's striking vocals, sets the tone for the album, promising an immersive listening experience.[15]

View on GrokipediaBackground and Formation
Early Life
Stephan Leicher was born in 1981 in The Hague, Netherlands, followed by his younger brother Victor Leicher in 1989, also in The Hague.[4][10] The brothers grew up in a musical household, where their parents actively encouraged an early interest in music by requiring them to learn instruments as children.[11][10] From around the age of seven, both Stephan and Victor received formal piano training under parental guidance.[10][12] This foundation in piano laid the groundwork for their musical development, fostering a shared appreciation for melody and harmony despite the eight-year age gap between them.[11] In their teenage years, the brothers gradually shifted from piano toward electronic music experimentation. Victor began exploring synthesizers and basic electronic production setups on a home computer during his teens, while Stephan soon followed suit, dabbling in similar tools.[10][12] Prior to forming their duo, their involvement remained as individual hobbies, using accessible home software for personal music production without any professional releases or public output.[11] These early solo endeavors sparked their mutual interest in electronic sounds, setting the stage for their later collaboration.Formation and Debut
In 2005, brothers Victor Leicher (born 1989) and Stephan Leicher (born 1981), both trained pianists from The Hague, Netherlands, began collaborating on electronic music production after Victor experimented with computer programs to create beats. Inspired by artists like Tiësto, Axwell, and Swedish House Mafia, Stephan joined his younger brother upon seeing his early work, leading the siblings to formalize their partnership as the duo DubVision. Their shared piano training from a young age informed a melodic approach to production, which they developed self-taught in a home studio using computer software.[10][1] The duo's persistence paid off when they released their debut EP, Into White, in 2011, which caught the attention of major labels. Following this, DubVision secured a deal with Spinnin' Records in 2012 after submitting demos that showcased their progressive house sound. This signing marked their entry into the professional EDM scene, providing a platform for wider distribution.[10] Their official debut single, "You & I" in collaboration with Project 46 and featuring vocals by Donna Lewis, was released on Spinnin' Records in August 2012. The track blended uplifting melodies with house elements, establishing the duo's signature style and gaining traction in clubs and on radio. This release solidified DubVision's foothold in the electronic dance music landscape, setting the stage for subsequent successes.[10][13]Career Milestones
Breakthrough Years (2012–2015)
Following their debut single "You & I" in 2012, which marked the beginning of their rise within the electronic dance music scene, DubVision experienced rapid momentum through a series of high-impact releases on Spinnin' Records. Signed to the prominent Dutch label after their initial independent EP in 2011, the duo quickly established themselves with tracks that blended progressive house elements, gaining traction in club and festival circuits. Their affiliation with Spinnin' provided crucial exposure, allowing them to contribute early remixes that showcased their production skills and earned support from established artists.[14][15] In 2013, DubVision solidified their presence with the collaborative single "Into the Light" alongside Sander van Doorn, Mako, and vocalist Mariana Bell, a track that highlighted their ability to craft anthemic, melody-driven progressive house. This release, along with others like "Redux," contributed to multiple entries in the Beatport Top 10 charts, reflecting growing industry recognition and DJ support. By 2014, their collaboration "Backlash" with Martin Garrix reached the #1 spot on Beatport's overall chart, a pivotal achievement that amplified their international profile and demonstrated their knack for high-energy drops and emotional builds. Another key release that year, "Rockin'" with Firebeatz, further exemplified their evolving sound and chart success, with additional Top 10 placements underscoring their consistent commercial appeal.[14] A landmark moment came with their debut performance at Tomorrowland in 2014, where they played to massive crowds in Belgium, significantly boosting their global visibility and fan engagement. This festival appearance, part of a string of high-profile shows, helped cultivate a dedicated following through platforms like SoundCloud and YouTube, where streams of their tracks and live sets surged, fostering organic growth in the EDM community. These breakthrough years positioned DubVision as rising stars, with their Spinnin' output laying the foundation for broader recognition while emphasizing conceptual depth in progressive house production over mere commercial metrics.[14][16][17]Consolidation and Growth (2016–2023)
Following their breakthrough, DubVision maintained a steady output of singles and collaborations from 2016 to 2023, refining their progressive house sound with an emphasis on uplifting melodies and vocal features. They released tracks like "Magnum" on Revealed Recordings in 2016, marking their debut on Hardwell's label with a high-energy, festival-ready drop. Later that year, they followed with "Primer" on the same imprint, blending chopped vocal bursts with bouncing synth lines to evolve their signature style.[18][19] The duo continued their primary affiliation with Spinnin' Records while expanding to Armada Music, releasing "Fall Apart" on Armada Trice in 2017, a feel-good track infused with pop-tinged vocals that underscored their shift toward more accessible, emotive productions. By 2020, this vocal focus intensified in collaborations such as "One Last Time" with Alesso on 10:22PM, featuring soaring hooks and progressive builds that resonated on dancefloors worldwide. Subsequent singles like "Anywhere With You" in 2021 and "P.R.O.G.2" in 2023 further exemplified their commitment to vocal-driven progressive house, often layering ethereal synths over heartfelt lyrics.[20][14][21] Internationally, DubVision established a global tour circuit, performing regularly at flagship events including Ultra Music Festival Miami in 2022 and 2023, as well as Electric Daisy Carnival, where their sets highlighted anthemic drops and crowd interaction to solidify their live reputation. Drawing from their early piano training in classical, jazz, and blues styles, they increasingly integrated live instrumentation elements—such as piano riffs and organic textures—into their studio work, adding emotional depth to tracks like "Starlight (Keep Me Afloat)" with Martin Garrix in 2022. This evolution built on foundational hits like "Backlash," enhancing their melodic core without altering its energetic essence.[22][23]Recent Achievements (2024–Present)
In 2024, DubVision released their debut studio album, Another World, on July 26 via Martin Garrix's STMPD RCRDS label. The 10-track project was expanded to a 14-track deluxe edition on March 7, 2025, including additional collaborations such as "Take Me To Another World" featuring Jem Cooke, showcasing the duo's signature progressive house sound with emotive melodies and high-energy drops to reflect their evolution in the electronic music scene.[24][25] Building on prior collaborations with Afrojack, such as their 2017 track "New Memories," the duo continued their partnership with the album's "Underwater," which emphasizes themes of emotional depth and connection. In 2025, DubVision promoted new material through their official website, including the single "Follow Your Heart" featuring Jordan Jade, released on September 12, which highlights their ongoing focus on uplifting, festival-ready anthems. The track received attention for its soaring production and was teased in live sets leading up to major events. This was followed by the single "Rise Again" on October 31, further exemplifying their progressive house style.[26][27][28] The duo launched a new audiovisual (A/V) production specifically designed to accompany Another World in their live performances, integrating synchronized visuals with the album's tracks to create immersive experiences at festivals and clubs. This innovative show element enhanced their sets, drawing from the album's narrative of exploration and unity.[29] Throughout 2025, DubVision maintained a robust touring schedule, performing at key international events to promote their latest work. Highlights included a collaborative showcase at Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) on October 26 alongside Third Party and Matisse & Sadko, a full set at World DJ Festival Korea in June, a headline show at Electric Hotel Nightclub in Chicago on November 29, and a year-end performance at VOID Club on December 26. These appearances underscored their global appeal and commitment to live energy.[30][31][32][33]Musical Style
Genres and Sound Characteristics
DubVision's music is primarily rooted in progressive house, a genre characterized by its layered, melodic progressions and uplifting energy designed to build tension and release in extended club and festival settings.[34] They incorporate elements of electro house and future house, blending the aggressive synth stabs and driving basslines of electro with the bouncy, vocal-driven grooves of future house to create versatile tracks suitable for diverse dance floors.[23] This fusion allows their productions to maintain a high-energy, anthemic quality while emphasizing emotional resonance over pure aggression.[35] Central to their sound are euphoric anthems featuring expansive melodies and emotional builds that evoke a sense of unity and positivity, often culminating in high-energy drops optimized for festival environments.[34] Organic textures, derived from piano-like chord progressions and subtle harmonic layers, add warmth and depth, distinguishing their work from more synthetic EDM styles and enhancing the immersive, hands-in-the-air experience.[23] Their tracks typically follow a classic EDM structure—intro, build-up, explosive drop, and breakdown—fostering anticipation and crowd engagement through gradual intensity escalation.[35] In production, DubVision employs layered synthesizers to construct rich, soaring soundscapes, integrating vocal chops for rhythmic texture and catchy melodic hooks that anchor the listener's attention.[35] This approach results in a signature "in-your-face" vibe that combines euphoric uplift with relentless drive, making their music immediately recognizable and potent for live performances.[34]Influences and Evolution
DubVision's musical journey began with classical piano training, as both brothers, Victor and Stephan Leicher, started lessons at age seven or ten and continued for six to seven years, progressing from blues to classical pieces. This foundational training instilled a strong emphasis on melody and structure in their productions. Growing up in multiple countries exposed them to diverse cultural music, which they later incorporated into their electronic sound, blending global transitions, notes, and chords with EDM elements. In the early 2010s Netherlands, the vibrant house scene, amplified by radio and clubbing, profoundly influenced them; Stephan first encountered house music at age 15, while Victor received his initial vinyl records as a birthday gift, drawing inspiration from acts like Swedish House Mafia and Axwell.[36][37] Their genre blending evolved from early roots in techno and groovy tech house, transitioning into raw electro and high-BPM festival tracks by 2012, as seen in their debut EP Into White and breakthrough single "Turn It Around." By the mid-2010s, they shifted toward polished progressive house, incorporating organic sounds and melodic elements influenced by global cultures and personal travels, while maintaining euphoric anthems as a core characteristic. This period marked a refinement of their sound, moving away from aggressive electro toward more layered, vocal-driven productions on labels like Spinnin' Records and Axtone.[38][36] Over their career, DubVision's evolution reflected broader electronic music trends, progressing from high-energy, festival-oriented tracks in 2012–2015 to deeper, more introspective progressive house by the late 2010s. In 2024, this culminated in their debut album Another World, a 10-track release emphasizing melodic techno influences, new production techniques, and album-oriented storytelling, accompanied by an interactive audiovisual show. The deluxe edition further expanded this with festival edits, underscoring their adaptation to a maturing EDM landscape. Into 2025, releases such as "Rise Again" with Afrojack continued their signature progressive house style, featuring euphoric anthems and emotional builds.[29][35][39][9] The duo has consistently described their inspirations as rooted in emotional storytelling, drawing from personal experiences such as love, family, and travel to infuse authenticity into their music. Stephan Leicher has highlighted the importance of conveying feeling and emotion through tracks, viewing music as a lifelong passion that transcends DJing. This self-reflective approach, combined with influences like Axwell's soulful sets and Zedd's musicianship, has guided their commitment to creating connective, euphoric experiences for listeners.[35][38][36]Collaborations and Side Projects
Key Collaborations
DubVision has established a reputation for strategic partnerships with prominent figures in electronic dance music, particularly within the progressive house and big room genres, which have helped amplify their global presence. One of their most significant collaborations is with Martin Garrix, beginning with the 2014 track "Backlash," where Garrix provided an edit that propelled the song to the number one spot on Beatport's main chart, marking an early breakthrough for the duo in the competitive EDM landscape.[40] This partnership continued with features on DubVision's 2024 debut album Another World, including "Empty" featuring Jaimes and "Wherever You Are" with Shaun Farrugia, where DubVision served as co-producers, blending Garrix's signature big room energy with their melodic progressive elements to create anthemic, festival-ready tracks.[41] These joint efforts not only expanded DubVision's reach through Garrix's STMPD RCRDS label but also contributed to chart success and widespread streaming, with "Backlash" accumulating millions of plays across platforms.[42] Another key alliance is with Alesso, exemplified by their 2020 single "One Last Time," a nostalgic electro-pop infused track released via Astralwerks that highlighted DubVision's ability to merge uplifting melodies with Alesso's emotive production style.[43] In this collaboration, DubVision acted as co-producers, contributing to the song's soaring drops and heartfelt lyrics, which resonated in club sets and online playlists, further solidifying their versatility beyond pure house sounds.[44] DubVision's work with Afrojack has also been prolific, spanning multiple releases that fuse Dutch house influences with progressive builds. Their 2017 track "New Memories" on Wall Recordings showcased a collaborative production approach, with both acts co-creating an uplifting future house anthem that gained traction in European dance scenes.[45] This was followed by "Back to Life" in 2019 under Armada Music, emphasizing emotional vocals and dynamic drops, "Anywhere With You" in 2021 with Lucas & Steve on Wall Recordings, and "Feels Like Home" in 2022 as the official song for the F1 Dutch Grand Prix, also on Wall Recordings. The partnership continued with "Underwater" in 2024 on STMPD RCRDS, where the duo's progressive melodies complemented Afrojack's high-energy rhythms, resulting in a track praised for its hypnotic appeal in live performances.[46][6][47][48] These partnerships, often routed through interconnected labels like Spinnin' Records and STMPD, have broadened DubVision's audience and influenced their evolution toward more vocal-driven productions. Vocal collaborations have been a recurring theme, notably with singer Jem Cooke on tracks like "Take Me to Another World" from 2023, reimagined in a 2025 festival edit, where her soulful delivery enhanced DubVision's emotive soundscapes, adding depth to their progressive house output.[49] By 2025, DubVision had amassed over 20 such collaborations across their discography, focusing on synergistic blends that prioritize melodic innovation over genre constraints.[50] These alliances have collectively elevated DubVision's profile, enabling cross-pollination within the EDM community while maintaining their core progressive identity.METAFO4R Project
METAFO4R is a collaborative supergroup formed in 2018 by the Dutch EDM duo DubVision and the Dutch production duo Firebeatz, who had established themselves in the electronic dance music scene since 2008 with hits in house and big room genres.[51] The project debuted with a special live set at EDC Las Vegas, where the quartet performed exclusive new tracks under the METAFO4R moniker.[52] This union allowed the artists to experiment with a fusion of their styles, emphasizing electro house and big room elements that introduced harder, more energetic productions compared to DubVision's core progressive house sound.[53] The project's outputs were released exclusively on Spinnin' Records, beginning with the single "Best Part of Me" in 2018, followed by "Rave Machine" in 2019, and concluding with "Grollow" in 2020.[54] These tracks showcased a shift toward electro house and dance/electro pop influences, featuring driving basslines and festival-ready drops that highlighted the synergy between the two duos' production approaches.[55] For instance, "Rave Machine" builds with pulsating rhythms and neon-themed visuals in its music video, underscoring the project's vibrant, high-impact aesthetic.[56] Following the release of "Grollow," METAFO4R has remained inactive, with no new material since 2020, though the project served as an influential outlet for experimental collaborations within the Dutch EDM landscape.[57]Discography
Studio Albums
DubVision's debut studio album, Another World, was released on July 26, 2024, through STMPD RCRDS, marking their transition from a singles-focused career to long-form releases.[24] The original edition comprises 10 tracks, self-produced by the duo Victor and Stephan Leicher with guest contributions from artists including Martin Garrix, Afrojack, Shaun Farrugia, and Jem Cooke, emphasizing their hands-on production approach honed over years in the electronic music scene.[24] In March 2025, a deluxe edition expanded the project to 14 tracks, incorporating additional collaborations and extended mixes to further showcase their evolving sound.[25] The album explores themes of escapism and emotion, weaving nostalgic lyricism through progressive house elements to evoke complex feelings of fulfillment, release, and connection.[24] Key tracks highlight these motifs, such as "Empty" featuring Martin Garrix and Jaimes, which pairs anthemic leads with melancholic reflections on emptiness, and "Wherever You Are" with Martin Garrix and Shaun Farrugia, delivering soul-searching vocals over euphoric builds.[24] Other standouts like "Underwater" with Afrojack and "Take Me to Another World" with Jem Cooke underscore the duo's ability to blend high-energy drops with heartfelt narratives.[58] Reception praised the album's melodic depth and emotional resonance, positioning it as a vibrant testament to DubVision's live performance energy and creative maturity.[24] Promotion featured an exclusive Dolby Atmos listening event at STMPD Studios, allowing fans and press an immersive preview of the soundscapes, alongside a global tour to bring the album's themes to stages worldwide.[41] This release aligned with their recent achievements, solidifying their role in the progressive house landscape.[29]Compilation Albums
