DVA

Operating in their own microcosm, Dva have stood out with an idiosyncratic sonic lexicon – "pop for non-existing radios" or "folklore of non-existing nations", as they say. The duo – it takes two, "dva" in Czech, to tango - Bára Kratochvílová and Jan Kratochvíl, have carved out a niche with their rich musical landscape. Established in 2006, the Czech project have toured the world, playing at esteemed festivals including SXSW, Eurosonic, Fusion or OFF charming their growing global fanbase with smart sophisticated pop. In 2012, DVA toured the US twice and played more than 80 concerts in 10 countries. DVA's soundtrack for the computer game Botanicula scooped the main prize at the 2012 Independent Games Festival awards in San Francisco, and was also nominated for the UK Sound & Music Awards.
