Magic Tape 53

Elemental Vol. 1 moves through earth, air, fire, and water not as metaphors but as emotional states. The songs drift like weather systems, mixing tenderness with atmosphere - acoustic guitars and field-warm vocals meeting the pulse of understated techno rhythms. The production is deliberately porous: wood and wire breathing alongside soft synths and spectral drum-machine traces. It's an "acoustic techno" album in the sense that rhythm and resonance share the same dirt. The songs carry the physical textures of wind in rafters, gravel underfoot, or rain on a roof, yet they shimmer with digital light. This meeting of folk intimacy and electronic timbres gives the album its peculiar gravity - part back-porch confession, part after-hours heartbeat.

Lyrically, Elemental Vol. 1 abandons conventional pop architecture. Instead of verse–chorus–bridge repetition, each piece unfolds as a field poem - free-form, continuous, and responsive to its own inner weather. The writing treats structure as tide rather than grid: refrains return when they need to, not when they're told to. This openness lets the language breathe in sync with the natural imagery that drives it - storms, light, stone, silence - and invites listeners to inhabit the songs as evolving spaces rather than predictable forms. Across the various mixes of its six song poems - We Learn the Sky, Don't Sightsee This Heart, Be a Storm in Me, Til the Heat Is Gone, You Happen Like Weather, and Wild Gifts - the album traces the cycles of intimacy and impermanence, finding in their motion the same quiet power that turns seasons, wheels, and hearts.

Wild Gifts (IV)

Young Franco is a talented young DJ/producer from Brisbane who plays smooth house, funk and disco guaranteed to take off the edge. The mix he's created for i-D is inspired by a recent trip to the UK and he describes it as including "the kind of music I listen to mainly in my downtime, but also what I love hearing in clubs, bars, coffee shops...pretty much anywhere. It's an eclectic mix of everything I love." With his new single 'Don't You Want Me' out and a national tour about to begin, roll down the windows and press play for 50 minutes of liquid gold.

Holy Ship! 2017 Live Sets: AMTRAC b2b Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs

Friends!  This is the first episode of a new mix and club event series I'm launching called "Lost in the Sauce."  The vibe of the series is going to be slightly different than what you would normally expect from Viceroy and will skew to more club focused disco, groove, and soul house tunes.

I had an amazing time testing this out at Audio SF and the feedback from the crowd was all the motivation I needed to keep this going!

The first official "Lost in the Sauce" show will be at Output in Brooklyn on October 12th and will go on sale this Thursday August 17th.  Check www.viceroymusic.com for more information.  Hope to see you there.

Mix Series Vol. 1: Beginnings

It’s wild to think but I’ve been DJ’ing professionally for nearly a decade. It all started with a cold email from a promoter in Brazil and the madness began. I’ve been fortunate to see the world this way. Throughout my career I’ve made it a point to have a variety of performances, whether that’s live band, DJ’ing, or something in between. I think it’s really important to challenge yourself and get out of your comfort zone. With that said, I keep coming back to DJ’ing. Having control over the atmosphere of a venue is a powerful drug. When things click, it’s amazing. 

I’ve been through the various hype cycles of different genres, some that interested me (disco, house, acid) and others that didn’t (dubstep, trap, future house) but ultimately there’s something really special about dance music. Coming from a songwriting background, it feels very foreign. In contrast, it’s counterintuitive. Finding the right balance of repetition and simplicity. 

It’s been several years since I released an actual DJ mix, so figured now is the time. 

Upcoming DJ shows:
Dec 27 ~ Elsewhere, Brooklyn, NY
Dec 31 ~ Prohibition NYE, Union Station, Los Angeles, CA
