Victor Calderone at White Party

Клубные российские · 09.04.2004

The nightlife of the world's capitals is unthinkable without Victor Calderone. For the past decade, this legendary DJ and promoter has organized the most glamorous parties in Milan, Paris, St. Tropez, London, and New York. Victor was introduced to club life at the age of fifteen when his older brother Cesar took him to a party, sparking his love for dance music. Since then, Victor Calderone has been deeply involved in the scene, DJing in clubs, organizing parties, and producing his own dance tracks in the studio. His first major success came in 1991 when Seymour Stein from Sire Records signed him to release his debut record. Hits like 'Give It Up' and 'Beat Me Harder' in the mid-90s became club anthems and topped the dance charts of Billboard magazine. Calderone's thriving career was also fueled by his social activities, rubbing shoulders with celebrities like Whitney Houston, Ricky Martin, Puff Daddy, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and the ever-entertaining Madonna. It was Madonna who played a crucial role in Calderone's career. She called him once and asked, 'Hi, this is Madonna. Would you like to remix the first single from my new album?' This was 'Frozen,' and of course, Calderone couldn't say no. The remix was so successful that this collaboration continued for many years, with Calderone remixing a total of 9 of Madonna's hits. In 1999, Madonna recommended Sting to work with Victor Calderone on remixing 'Desert Rose' for his new album 'Brand New Day,' which led to a chart-topping remix lasting 80 weeks on the Billboard charts. Alongside studio projects, Victor Calderone continued his impressive club activities, culminating in the 'Caligula: A Roman Orgy' show in May 2001 in New York, which attracted 5,000 guests and became a signature event for Victor. The show is now an annual event during the last weekend of June. In the last two years, Victor Calderone has been actively conquering Europe, playing at renowned venues like L'Enser in Paris and Cavo Paradiso in Mykonos. A highlight was his performance at Dolce & Gabbana's fashion show during Milan Fashion Week, where he gained popularity among the Italian and French elite. Calderone was invited to private parties in the French Riviera, Monaco, and St. Tropez attended by Prince Albert, Cher, Tom Ford, Kate Moss, Sir Elton John, and even Madonna. In the summer of 2002 during the filming of Guy Ritchie's movie 'Swept Away' in Sardinia, Victor Calderone hosted yacht parties for the singer and receptions for Hollywood celebrities, along with the film crew, on the private beaches of the Italian island. In 2004, Calderone was recognized as the most famous DJ and club producer in the US, nominated for the prestigious Dancestar Awards. His signature parties at the new club The Crobar attract the most discerning and demanding audience. In March of that year, a remix of Beyoncé's modern r&b hit 'Naughty Girl' will be released. In the near future, Victor Calderone is set to conquer Moscow. On April 10, 2004, he will visit the Russian capital for the first time for the special White Party event at Zima Project club, attended by figures from the Russian show business, glamorous social youth, and influencers shaping Moscow's nightlife.
