Nicky Romero & Vicetone

Real name Nick Rotteveel, Nicky Romero was born January 6, 1989 in the small city of Amerongen, Holland. A keen interest in the drums and an early career spinning house and R&B quickly evolved into an unbridled passion for music production, with early releases (picked up by boutique outfit Once Records) catching the attention of some of the more established house music labels, such as Spinnin’, Fly Eye, Toolroom and Flamingo Recordings. 
As Nicky worked on honing his own exclusive sound - a seductive blend of progressive house tinged with electro and acid - 2010 saw him release an unofficial bootleg of David Guetta’s smash hit ‘When Love Takes Over’ to the online world; a move which would shape his entire career. 
The track’s viral success piqued the interest of Guetta himself and in that moment Romero found his mentor and champion. They have since collaborated on multiple projects including ‘Metropolis’ and ‘Wild One Two,’ and in the summer of 2012 Nicky Romero accepted a yearly residency at David Guetta’s infamous FMIF club nights at Pacha and Ushuaia in Ibiza.

Only two years since the fruition of Vicetone, the Dutch duo is having the breakout year that many aspiring producers can only wish to sell their souls for; rising through the ranks of the DJ Mag Top 100 poll (currently sitting at #36), racking up five HypeM #1’s, performing on multiple tours all over the world including a six-week sold out North American tour, playing internationally renowned clubs including Ushuaia Ibiza and Ministry of Sound London, Pacha NYC and Avalon Los Angeles as well as festivals such as TomorrowWorld, Ultra Music Festival and Electric Zoo, and releasing multiple Beatport Top 10 charting singles including “Let Me Feel” their collaboration with Nicky Romero.
Wrapping up their biggest year to-date, 2014 has proven monumental to the Dutch twosome’s success. Attributed directly to a steady stream of noteworthy singles, Vicetone has developed a reputation synonymous with quality. With a firm Buzz Chart #1 and already exceeding 1 million online preview plays in a week, Vicetone’s latest track “Let Me Feel” with Nicky Romero shot straight to #1 on Beatport in just a few days of release. In May, the duo released “Ensemble” which debuted during their 2014 UMF set and peaked at #22 on Billboard’s emerging artist charts. “White Lies” was released in late March and saw support from heavyweights Tiësto, David Guetta, Krewella, and R3hab to name a few, while “Lowdown” remains Vicetone’s most played track of the year. “United We Dance” released on November 2014 on Ultra Music.
