Vicetone
Dutch electronic music DJ and production duo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vicetone is a Dutch electronic music production and DJ duo formed by Ruben den Boer (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈrybə(n) dəm ˈbuːr]; born 22 January 1992) and Victor Pool (pronounced [ˈvɪktɔr poːl]; 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]
