There are creators in this world, and then there is everyone else. Viceroy is a creator; a creator of a vibe, a creator of a sound and simply a creator of life, although not in its most traditional sense, it still is, after all — life. Sometimes we get caught up in the chase of something when we don't even have a clue of what it is. It takes three times the amount of time someone has been alive to get to know them fully. Inside each and everyone of us exists a complex maze of [...]

Another freaking Monday. These days just seem to keep popping up. But at least we appear to be digging out of the deep freeze of the last few months. Beach days are so close I can almost taste the sand. Ease into the week by playing this song on repeat.
We're finally getting our favorite musicians of 2012 out there. Remixes & heavy sampling have made up most of the other best music of 2012 , but the rest of these are all originals (at least for the most part). I also decided to change it from 20122s best musicians to the most promising. They may be our favorite musicians of 2012, but they're probably all new to you - except Frank, Madeon & Miike maybe. Also remember, not every one of these may be your favorite style, but you'll [...]

Syrupy sweet and daydreamy, Halle Jane has narrowed the wide scope of Art Circus , which made its arty, hodgepodge debut nearly seven years ago as a project for her, about a dozen other girls and Robert Ellis Orrall . Now it's just Halle on her own for the follow-up, which is one of the three July 2012 releases on Infinity Cat 's sister label, Plastic 350 Records . An influence of Madi Diaz 's unassuming sweetness and acoustic pop sense mixed with whirly piano, earnest vocals and glossy production [...]

For all of you out there who love summer: seaside/poolside chills, sunsets, balmy nights, cruising at dusk, hanging with that special someone in your car overlooking the city at make-out point....this will be a series of posts for you. Once a week I will bring you a compilation of easy listening Night Waves to enrich those summer moments and make them feel just right. No particular genre will be adhered to and the songs will not always be new releases, yet all songs will have one thing in common....they could be played on a beach while the [...]
O produtor americano Viceroy é conhecido por seus calorosos remixes, frutos da California, que já transformaram músicas do St. Lucia, Ghost Beach e Madonna na trilha sonora perfeita para um dia ensolarado a beira da piscina. A novidade, entretanto, é que o produtor está seguindo o mesmo caminho que o RAC e trabalhando em composições autorais, cujos vocais ficam a cargo de artistas emergentes e outros com quem já trabalhou. Seu primeiro single, "Chase Us Around", foi mixado pelo nosso favorito TheFatRat e segue a mesma tradição dos seus remixes, que apelam [...]
Our boy Viceroy dropped his debut single last week, 'Chase Us Around'. We were blinding by fireworks last week, so we have been late to properly post the track. Now that we have gotten through the holiday hang over and are back to our hard-working-non-holiday-enjoy ing selves we are ready to post it. As expected it's warm, calypso laced tropical nu-disco perfection. I'd say more, but unless I can offer you a ticket down to Aruba there is no way I am going to capture the warm feel of tropical summers better than this, I should just be quiet [...]
Viceroy aka Austin Afridi is no stranger to All Things Go. His remixes of St. Lucia, Ghost Beach, Madonna, and Ducksauce have previously made appearances on the blog . Now the San Francisco-based producer is out with an original track, and he continues to raise the bar among his contemporaries. Summertime vibes beam out of "Chase Us Around," which features the vocals of Madi Diaz, whose crooning draws comparisons to Marina (of the Diamonds fame); a perfect complement to this warm tune. "Chase Us Around" should be enjoyed with a sno cone and wide brimmed hat with both [...]
Madi Diaz performs on the CMC stage at 6:00pm on Friday, July 13 Madi Diaz is a Nashville-based singer/songwriter whose music has been described as “one part pop music and one part organic Americana … a hooky, confident collection of songs that is as heartbreaking in places as it is catchy in others, sometimes within the span of a single song.” What does "bunbury" mean? (No cheating; give it your best guess) We go and play in a field where [...]
