MARCH 7, 2024—Today, Belo Horizonte-based DJ/producer Viot releases his new single “So Far So Good,” via Diplo’s Higher Ground label. The new track, a sweltering yet uplifting tech house number, is outfitted with an effervescent vocal sample, bouncy groove, and punchy percussion.
The optimistic vibe of “So Far So Good” reflects the headspace Viot was in while writing the track. “I wrote this during a period of my life with big changes,” Viot says about the track. “I was starting a new relationship, moving to a new house, starting to show the world my new project, and when I found the acapella—it all made sense.”
Viot, real name Lauro Viotti, has come a long way from sneaking into clubs as a teenager in Belo Horizonte. Inspired by Jamie Jones, who came through his hometown club Deputamadre, he taught himself to DJ and produce and went on to earn a residency at the venue he frequented most as a fan. A decade-plus of experimentation across various projects would lead to his current vision, one that led him full circle to releasing not just on Jamie Jones’ revered Hot Creations label but also Chris Lake’s Black Book Records, Lee Foss’s Repopulate Mars, and FISHER’s Catch & Release.
Still considered an underground hidden gem who mostly performs in Brazil, some of the most influential tastemakers in house music have started to uncover his talent with DJs like Michael Bibi, Marco Carola, Mochakk, Diplo, and more rinsing his records. Viot began playing international parties last year, with performances at Ibiza’s famous clubs Ushuaia and Hi Ibiza, as well as Taraka Ecuador and Catch & Release Miami.
