Levs: two voices, one pulse

There is something uncanny about watching LEVS behind the decks: two bodies, two minds, yet only one pulse. Erika and Laura, Colombian-born twins now carving their space in Europe’s techno underground, do not just play music; they collapse difference into unity. Their sets are less about tracklists and more about shared instinct, about the unspoken glances that turn a booth into a nerve center. In a world obsessed with ego and individuality, they dare to dissolve into one.

Do not mistake their connection for gimmickry. The twin factor might be the first thing people notice, but the reason crowds return is the sound: high-energy, bold techno that feels both forceful and hypnotic. They have carried it from the sweat-soaked floors of Fabrik Madrid to the raw electricity of Radion Amsterdam, leaving behind a trail of nights where tension flips into euphoria and precision collapses into pure instinct. Their music is crafted for those moments where the booth and the dance floor blur into the same frequency.

What makes LEVS fascinating is not just their synchronicity, but the friction beneath it. As sisters, as producers, as curators of their own label Conscious Mind, Erika and Laura constantly walk the line between individuality and merger, instinct and architecture, vulnerability and control. It is that tension, the dance between “me” and “we,” that has given rise to one of the most distinctive voices in today’s crowded techno landscape.

For Erika and Laura, the strength of LEVS lies in both difference and unity. They are careful not to blur their individuality outside the booth, because that contrast is what gives their music its emotional weight.

“We are very intentional about protecting our individuality, because we believe it is the foundation of everything we create,” they explain.

Each sister brings a distinct palette, yet once they step into the booth, the lines shift.

“We do not lose our individuality, but we merge into one, allowing ourselves to dissolve into the project, to become ‘we.’”

There is a reason why watching LEVS on stage feels so magnetic. Beyond track selection, an invisible current flows between them, a vocabulary of glances, gestures, and shifts in energy that never needs to be spoken. They resist calling it supernatural, but they acknowledge its power.

“It is more about the deep level of intuition that comes from growing up side by side, sharing experiences, and knowing each other so well,” they say. On stage, that silent bond becomes amplified, altering the flow of the night in ways only they can sense.

Every duo has to negotiate the line between instinct and structure, and LEVS has found its rhythm in the tension.

“It is probably something like 70 percent instinct and 30 percent planning,” they admit. A playlist is always built in advance, a foundation that anchors them, but once they step into the booth, the room becomes the map.

“The connection with the crowd is what shapes the direction of the set.”

One leans closer to the architect, the other to the risk-taker, but the set only clicks when both roles fuse into one flow.

LEVS’s productions carry the same raw electricity as their sets: bold, intense, yet layered with atmosphere. The seed of that energy almost always comes from the club.

“Clubs definitely inspire us. There is something about the energy of the night, the people you meet, and the atmosphere that stays with you long after,” they reflect. One moment that crystallized this was when I opened for Outworld. Nerves were heavy at first, but instead of freezing, that tension became the ignition.

“Once we stepped into it, the nerves transformed into pure connection. It felt like we were not just performing, we became one with the ravers, part of the same pulse.”

That night still reverberates in their studio, shaping the way they approach their music.

Working together as sisters could easily become combustible, yet LEVS has found a way to transform friction into forward motion.

“Of course, we see things differently sometimes, but instead of turning that into conflict, we have learned to approach it with calm and respect,” they explain. Those moments are not about one winning over the other; they are about unlocking new paths.

“At the end of the day, we understand that we are two different people, and those differences can help us spark new ideas.”

What might derail other duos becomes a creative resource, a built-in catalyst that keeps the project evolving.

The global electronic landscape is overflowing with duos, collectives, and solo DJs. Being twins could easily be reduced to a gimmick, but LEVS have worked hard to ensure the focus remains on their artistry.

“Being twins is naturally the first thing people notice, but for us it has never been the focus. The music always comes first,” they say.

Their twin connection is a tool, not a brand. What sets them apart is not the bloodline but the vision: a determination to craft atmospheres that carry emotion, texture, and journey.

“We want people to connect with the emotion and the journey in the music.”

The DJ world demands an image of perfection, impeccable sets, immaculate branding, and curated posts that leave no room for flaws. Yet the paradox is apparent: audiences often connect most deeply with honesty, with the cracks in the façade. LEVS acknowledges the weight of that pressure.

“The pressure to be not only a DJ but also an influencer often creates an unrealistic image of perfection, flawless mixes, flawless branding, flawless posts,” they admit.

For them, perfection was never the point of electronic music. Vulnerability is present, but it is rarely literal. Instead, they channel it through the music itself, embedding honesty in the atmosphere rather than social media captions.

“It does not mean it is not there. We just channel it differently.”

The sound of LEVS is immediately recognizable: high-energy techno that hits with force yet wraps itself in hypnotic textures and groove. The sisters never sat down to design it with intention.

“It happened naturally. The sound you hear now is really the result of our ongoing evolution as DJs and producers. Looking ahead, we are definitely curious to push boundaries and explore new sounds. It allows us not to stay locked into one category and gives us the freedom to grow, experiment, and discover more about ourselves and our music.”

The launch of their label, Conscious Mind, was more than a business move; it was a declaration of independence. Within months of producing, they decided to take complete control of their music.

“One of our main motivations was to have full control over our releases and manage them directly, without depending on external decisions. Creating our own label gave us the freedom to shape our sound, experiment without limits, and build a community around our vision. For us, the label represents a realm of limitless exploration, a place where unconventional ideas can find their voice and where connections are nurtured that reach far beyond the music itself.”

Erika and Laura are not chasing gimmicks, they are not selling perfection, and they are not trying to outshine each other. They are thoughtful, humble, and patient, protecting their individuality while choosing to merge into something greater when the music calls for it. Conflict becomes fuel, nerves become connection, and vulnerability becomes atmosphere.

LEVS are less about the spectacle of being twins and more about the integrity of being artists, curators, and human beings who understand that imperfection is where the pulse truly lies. That is why their story resonates: two voices that never lose themselves, yet choose to become one when the night demands it.
