Vicetone is a Dutch electronic music production DJ duo formed by Ruben den Boer (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈrybə(n)dəmˈbuːr] ; born 22 January 1992) and Victor Pool (pronounced [ˈvɪktɔrpoːl] ; born 9 July 1992) from Groningen. The duo began as a DJ act, and in 2013, they were voted into the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs list for the first time at 60th as a new entry. [1] Later in 2014, they went up 24 places on the list, coming 36th. [2] In 2015, they fell 14 places to 50th. [3] They made a return to the Top 100, coming in at 83rd in 2019 but dropped out the subsequent year. [4]

Career

In 2015, Vicetone released two singles with Kat Nestel titled "Angels" and "Nothing Stopping Me," both on Ultra Music, released a remix for a song from the popular game League of Legends called "Project Yi" and they remixed Hardwell and Tiesto's collaboration, "Colors".

To start off 2016, Vicetone released a new track on Spinnin' Records called "Pitch Black". [5] This was followed by the release of their first EP entitled Aurora , which was released in April before the beginning of a headline tour of the same name. In June 2016, they released the song 'Nevada' to Monstercat in collaboration with Cozi Zuehlsdorff. [6]

In 2018, Vicetone released another single with Cozi Zuehlsdorff titled "Way Back". [7]

In 2020, Vicetone rose to international stardom over the rise of their 2014 remix of Tony Igy's song "Astronomia" as an internet meme, in which the remix plays over a group of Ghanaian men dancing while carrying a coffin, a common funeral tradition in Ghana and parts of Africa with the idea of sending off deceased loved ones in style, rather than in the usual manner of mourning. [8]

On 22 January 2021, Vicetone announced that their debut album titled "Legacy" would be releasing on 2 April of that same year. This announcement came alongside the release of its lead single, "No Rest". [9] [10]
