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. Years later, in 1991, his short-lived Program 2 project secured a record deal with New York label Sire. 

Following a brief hiatus, in 1996, Calderone broke through with his debut solo single "Give It Up," which lived on top of the Billboard's 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. In New York, his homes were influential clubs The Roxy, Pacha, and Crobar—the last of which where he would ultimately launch his brand Evolve. In Evolve's heyday, Calderone built a luminous reputation for his sprawling 12-16 hour sets—all-consuming journeys that plainly illustrated his gift for musical storytelling. 

By the early to mid-'10s, Calderone's palette increasingly leaned techno. At this auspicious moment, he was given the stamp of approval from techno greats like Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, and Adam Beyer. His sound flourished across releases for Sleaze, Drumcode, Intec, 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 in his work. 

In early 2021, a health diagnosis forced Calderone to step away from the studio once more, look inward, and refocus on his health and family. He has returned energized, having devoted recent months to reviving his MATTER+ imprint. "I'm now reconnecting with a whole new audience,"he said. "That's why it's so important for me to have MATTER—to connect and align with new young artists."

Calderone continues to 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.

ΜΛΤΤΕR+ Mix.1 - Victor Calderone

Buy: https://beatport.com/release/in-your-arms/5262229 
Release Date: 2025-09-10 

Oliver Wickham steps into Houstrike with a slow-burning slice of deep techno that feels both seductive and cinematic. Built on shadowy pulses and flashes of light, it’s music that blurs intimacy and vastness, romance and tension. With a background on labels like Anjunadeep, Colorize and 8bit, Wickham’s debut here leans into Houstrike’s retro-futuristic edge: dark, emotive, and made for the late hours when the dancefloor turns inward.

★ CIRCUIT ★ PΛRTY ★ BOY ★ MONTREΛL ★

MONTRÉAL QC

Stereo
https://stereo.tickit.ca

This is the nightclub that put Montreal on the map, the house that House built. It is known for its gay events, which are plentiful. Check the night before you arrive, but any night it's worth it to sample the sound and lights.

Unity
http://clubunitymontreal.com

This gay favorite offers two rooms with a rooftop terrace for a mostly (but not exclusively) younger dance crowd.

Stud Bar Montréal
www.lestudmontreal.com

The many street-level entrances to Le Stud give the bears, the dads and the lads easy access to the decadence that awaits them inside. Billiard tables and video-game poker machines line the interior of Le Stud and provide opportunities (or at least a cover) for what goes on further inside. Start on the cruisey dancefloor. Then position yourself in a dark corner and let the fun begin. Musical styles range from dance and disco to new wave and rock, but after a while, you’ll be too busy to pay attention.

Sky Pub Club
www.complexesky.com

This mixed venue in the Gay Village has three floors for dancing, each one offering a distinctly different sound for distinctly different crowds, but it is definitely our territory. The food is worth trying.

Aigle Noir
facebook.com/Bar.Aigle.Noir

That's French for “Black Eagle,” and that should give you a hint that this place takes the leather scene very seriously, indeed. Head for the back bar for live fetish shows that make San Francisco or New York (or, for that matter, pre-Castro Havana) look like Peoria. During the summer, the outdoor street-level terrace is filled to the rafters. Theme nights of leather and rubber gear draw in those the hard-core — or at least those who dress that way.

Chez Mado
www.mado.qc.ca

This is the place any of the locals where to catch the best drag show in a city where drag performance is not an entertainment, it's an art form. This internationally renowned campy cabaret offers nightly themes like “La Guerre des Bitches” (“The War of the Bitches”), Edith Piaf cover acts and ABBA tributes.

Campus
www.campusmtl.com

Montreal is justly famous for its gay strip clubs. They're all pretty fabulous, but this is the one to see hot studs dancing in your lap (for a generous tip, of course).

Bar Le Cocktail
www.barlecocktail.com

In the heart of the Gay Village, the crowd may like the sophisticated drink offerings, but it's les spectacles that are the big draw: drag and karaoke, with a French twist (or is that twisted French)?
