Dutch EDM duo
Vicetone are equally comfortable crafting cinematic instrumentals and vocal-driven club anthems, transitioning from their early DJ days as a remix act to producing their own club hits for labels like
Spinnin' and Ultra Records in the mid-2010s. Working with vocalists like
Kat Nestel on 2015's "Nothing Stopping Me" and Cozi Zuehlsdorff on the 2016 hit "Nevada,"
Vicetone became a festival favorite with major appearances at Miami's Ultra Music Festival, and headlined their own tours around the world.
Victor Pool and Ruben den Boer, friends since childhood, began producing dance music in their tiny home studio in rural Netherlands. Their melodic, bright-eyed tracks caught the attention of dance labels such as
Monstercat, which issued their debut single, "Harmony," in 2012. Having already remixed hits by
Adele,
Maroon 5, and
Calvin Harris, the duo made an easy transition to producing tracks with vocalists, starting with "Heartbeat" featuring
Collin McLoughlin, which came out in 2013. Several more well-received singles followed, and
Vicetone toured with
Nicky Romero that summer and Australian duo
Nervo in the fall. They released tracks on labels like
Spinnin' Records, Revealed Records, and Ultra Records in 2014, in addition to performing at the Ultra Music Festival and TomorrowWorld Festival.
The duo kept delivering club and festival anthems, and in early 2016 they contributed a track to Warsongs, a remix album of music from the popular online game League of Legends.
Vicetone's debut EP,
Aurora, arrived on
Spinnin' Records in April of 2016. That same year, their single "Nevada," featuring American singer/actress Cozi Zuehlsdorff, became a major streaming hit, followed not long after by the Tony Igy collaboration "Astronomia." In 2018, a second Zuehlsdorff collaboration, "Way Back," continued
Vicetone's momentum, as did "Walk Thru Fire" featuring
Meron Ryan. ~ Paul Simpson
