Victor Calderone Plays Gryphon on Saturday

​Miami loves Victor Calderone, his big-room tribal house beats and energetic pop diva remixes for the likes of Madonna, Beyonce, and Whitney Houston are exactly the sort of thing that gets Miami's mainstream nightlife set off at the club. The Brooklyn-based DJ/producer had an auspicious career start back in the early '90s when he and then-partner Joey Beltram (a rave era legend in his own right) got signed to Sire records during their short-lived techno collaboration Program 2.

During the late '90s Calderone would continuously top the Billboard Dance Chart, including #1 slots for the hits "Give It Up", "Beat Me Harder", and his massively successful remix for Sting's "Desert Rose" which spent an impressive 80 weeks on the charts. After his famed residencies at clubs Roxy in NYC and Liquid in Miami Beach, Calderone has continued to enjoy international DJ renown and still gathers huge crowds for his energetic sets, like the one he'll be throwing down at Gryphon nightclub at the Seminole Hard Rock on Saturday night.
