French Artist VTCR Sets Out on Genres That Feel Right

/in /by

VTCR, aka Victor Cros, is a 30-year-old French artist. After years of traveling through clubs and European festivals, he finally launched into mixing, and especially into his own musical production at the beginning of 2022. Being totally unknown to the general public, he relies heavily on his first EP released on the San Diego-based label: it’s just noize records, to be able to give him the chance to make himself known, and to be able to really embark on future musical projects like the live shows he’s played in the last couple months. These compositions are focused on Tech-house, but his style is divided between Progressive-house, Tech-house, and Techno.

In the studio, just as in the DJ booth, Konstantin lives and breathes the idea that music is fluid and that setting constraints based on convention and expectation will only hinder musical personality. He moves fleet-footed between musical categories, with characteristic confidence and a quintessential style that shines through. As a producer, Konstantin’s burgeoning reputation has led to his widespread acclaim due to being voted ‘Newcomer of the Year 2013′ by the readers of Groove Magazine, receiving significant support from Recondite, Disclosure, Move D, and the Kompakt family.

Recently, Konstantin remixed Adriatique’s “Home” on Siamese and “Shake The World” on Afterlife’s VA which was also performed by Tale of Us at Tomorrowland. Konstantin was also featured in the overall round-up of the second weekend at Tomorrowland. For both of these tracks, he has gained support from the likes of Solomun, Tale Of Us, Adriatique, Joris Voorn, Magdalena, Kölsch, Denis Horvat, Innellea, Colyn, Kevin de Vries, Oostil, and among many others. Apart from performing at recent festivals such as Solomun +1 Opening Party at Pacha Ibiza, Tomorrowland, Awakenings, and the Paradies Garten Festival, Konstantin’s upcoming performance will be at Amsterdam’s Dance Event in October 2022.
