Born in Brazil and currently based in Lisbon, Victor Ruiz has been a constant presence on the world stage since 2013 and is widely regarded for his mesmerizing DJ performances, tough yet groovy techno productions and his trailblazing label, VOLTA.
Victor moved to Europe in 2018, and from his European base, he has been able to explore the globe with a packed diary of gigs all over the world from New Zealand to Israel, Turkey to the USA, Portugal, Denmark and Argentina. Appearances at globally-renowned festivals such as Tomorrowland and Boom demonstrate his high profile, while demand in North America means he is crossing the Atlantic on a regular basis.
In the studio his playful attitude has led to a series of notable releases on labels including Drumcode, Noir Music, Suara, Senso Sounds and many more, taking pride of place alongside his exceptional collection of edits – including The Prodigy’s ‘Breathe’ and Depeche Mode’s classic ‘Everything Counts’.
A consummate professional, Victor delivers powerful performances with every show, aiming to challenge and entertain the dance floor in equal measure. Thanks to his formative years, where he learned everything about DJing through first-hand experience, Victor displays a level of skill, dynamism and gut instinct that is innate.
Last week, his bangin’ remix of one of the most iconic Psychedelic Trance tracks ‘Crazy People,’ was released on Victor’s imprint VOLTA. After meeting each other at Boom Festival in Portugal, Victor asked Nicola Capobianco (aka Liquid Soul) if he could remix the track. It’s already been played on some of the biggest stages in the world from Tomorrowland, Time Warp, Awakenings, to Ultra Music Festival and has received legendary support from industry titans like Adam Beyer, ANNA, Sama’ Abdulhadi, Vintage Culture, and Bart Skils.
To celebrate this epic offering, Victor Ruiz graces the When We Dip Mix with a visceral, commanding hour of his signature Techno, sure to get your body moving in the way only he can. Enjoy!
