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, Rovi
