When you hear the word “Brazilian,” the first image that comes to mind might not be a pair of disco djs/producers from Rio — especially given the duo’s apparent aversion to shaving. But despite this unfortunate fact, Brazilian performers The Twelves have emerged as one of the world’s premier electronic acts, being labeled “Rio de Janeiro’s answer to Daft Punk.”

Having remixed such artists as M.I.A., Groove Armada, La Roux, Radiohead, Fever Ray, Two Door Cinema, Metric and Daft Punk themselves, The Twelves (in their own words) “like to take tracks that don’t normally work on a club vibe and try and beef them up to a point that people can actually dance to them” (BBC Radio 1). The result has given them numerous Hype Machine #1 hits and a slot on Pete Tong’s famed “BBC Radio 1′s Essential Mix.”

February 5th, The Twelves bring their electro-disco act to San Francisco’s Mezzanine, courtesy of friends of The Projects, Blasthaus. Advance tickets are available here for $16 and the show is expected to sell out.

Supporting The Twelves will be two members of The Projects, DJ Nisus and DJ White Mike. We are very excited to be apart of this promotion and certain that this will be one for the books.

Below, we’ve included a live mix from a September 2010 performance by The Twelves. Download here.

Saturday was a blur of rave bears, confetti and creepy photographers all harmoniously grooving to the same wicked beats from Sleazemore, Morale, Nisus, Shane King, Swayzee, Eric Sharp and the one and only Groove Armada! For those lucky enough to get on the float, the party was non stop. For those in the crowd, the slamming bodies and screaming fans only intensified once the epic gold scissor lift began to tower up, up and away.

Once Civic Center died down, the party moved to Mezzanine, where Solid Gold Jacuzzi teamed up with Om Records to produce one of the most memorable LovEvolution after party’s. Tired faces dripping gold got their second wind and danced like there was no tomorrow with DJ after DJ playing the best electro in the city. With acts like Trackademicks, Amp Live, DJ Heather and LA Riots, it was a proud day for Electronic Music in San Francisco.

With a turnout of about 80,000 people, LovEvolution was an epic success, and Solid Gold Jacuzzi made it’s mark. Check out theProjects gallery for photos and videos of the event, and be sure to check back, we’ve got lots more to come!
