Across a storied career spanning nearly three decades, Victor Calderone has consistently proven himself as a sonically curious artist. The New York DJ and producer came up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, where his brother Cesar introduced him to the art of DJing when Calderone was just 15. In 1996, Calderone broke through with his debut solo single "Give It Up," which lived on top of the Billboard Dance Music charts for a week. Throughout the '90s and aughts, Calderone was known for his intuitive and original club remixes for pop artists like Madonna, Sting, Beyoncé, Depeche Mode, and Whitney Houston. The fruitful era also saw him kick off international and statewide residencies that are still going strong over 20 years later. Calderone built a luminous reputation for his sprawling 12-16 hour sets—all-consuming journeys that illustrated his gift for musical storytelling. By the early to mid-'10s, Calderone's palette increasingly leaned techno. His sound flourished across releases for Sleaze, Drumcode, MOOD, as well as his own labels, Waveform and MATTER+. Even with a fresh set of tools and studio partners at his disposal, the underlying groove that was so prominent during his tribal days remained a constant. Calderone continues to curate his MATTER+ imprint and reunite with past collaborators, while still toying with progressive sound design. This curiosity makes every new release sparkle, even after 30 years in the game.
