Victor Ruiz is a boundary-blurring electronic artist rooted in Techno while expanding fluidly across the broader electronic spectrum.
Born in Brazil and currently based in Portugal, Victor has been a constant presence on the world stage since 2012 and is widely regarded for his mesmerising DJ performances. His global presence goes from clubs in Germany, the UK and Japan to stages across the US, Brazil and Australia, having played countless festivals including EDC Las Vegas, Tomorrowland, Awakenings, Time Warp, Lollapalooza, Boom and Fusion. Whether commanding a mainstage or shaping the vibe in a darker room, the focus is to create his own journey.
In the studio he is equally adept, releasing a steady flow of first-rate electronic productions all of which encapsulate his distinct flair for musicality and energy. Notorious known by his productions and his signature sound, Victor has multiple releases under his belt on Drumcode, Arcane, mau5trap, Armada, Insomniac, Global Underground, and runs VOLTA — his own imprint, a platform for like-minded producers that pushes the envelope of electronic music, ranking among the top 10 best-selling techno labels last year.
A big believer in the power of collaboration, Ruiz has created music with some of the most special and interesting names in the electronic world, such as Alok, Kaufmann, Boris Brejcha, Malive, Padre Guilherme, Mila Journée, Reinier Zonneveld, SIDEPIECE, Alex Stein, Freedom Fighters and Jane’s Addiction’s Perry Farrell – and remixed legends like deadmau5, Astrix, Stephan Bodzin, Binary Finary, Oliver Huntemann, Liquid Soul, Boris Brejcha just to name a few.
Rooted in rave culture, his music aims to move people physically and emotionally.
Victor Ruiz isn’t just Techno. He is a genre of his own.
