Vicky Devine’s success as a DJ is growing year on year gaining amazing recognition for her talent and ability behind the decks as well as receiving increasing worldwide support from the biggest artists in the industry for her productions
Vicky has been involved in music in some capacity throughout most of her life. Reaching Grade 6 in Piano, playing classical guitar and being a member of a singing group throughout her school life, she was quickly enticed into the dance music world and has worked within the industry ever since!!!!
Beginning as a club reviewer and interviewer for M8, Dream and Eternity magazines, she then went on to dance on stage and work in various promotional roles for a number of UK based events. There was always a DJ inside though and she was soon behind the decks spending hours after college learning how to mix. This coupled with her passion for music, endless enthusiasm and perseverance has helped build her career and has made her one of the most established female DJ’s and producers in the current dance music scene. As a result Vicky has gone on to wow fans in the UK, and indeed around the world with a reputation built on her uplifting yet driving trance sets, although versatile Vicky is just as recognised for her house sets as well. She’s played at numerous nights in the UK including Gatecrasher, The Gallery (Turnmills), MOS, Pams House, Slinky (Westfest Festival), Escape (Swansea), Passion (Coalville), Tranzaction and on a worldwide level including on the SLINKY Asia tour in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, the SMIRNOFF EXPERIENCE tour in India and at clubs in Canada, South America, Mexico, Indonesia, Malaysia, Dubai, Australia and New Zealand to name but a few.
Over the years Vicky has been a regular guest at many clubs and bars in Ibiza and this eventually led to her gaining a weekly main room residency at Judge Jules’s massive JUDGEMENT SUNDAYS night at Eden (2005 - Present). Playing both the warm up and close down sets at the busiest night in San Antonio has meant her playing regularly alongside many of the leading names in today’s trance scene, as well as establishing her name as one of the favourite Ibiza residents both with the DJ’s and clubbers alike. Not forgetting Vicky’s other Ibiza summer residency at the most successful all female DJ event to date - Charlys Angelz - at which Vicky has played each and every one since its launch! The night, which Vicky also promotes, has subsequently toured the length and breadth of the UK as well as at nightclubs around the world. Vicky has also been a regular feature at the massive BCM superclub on the neighboring balearic island of Majorca, playing at a number of their large events including the Radio One Weekenders as well as on a weekly basis on the main upper floor throughout the summer months (2003 – 2009). Her dedication to the scene and her performances worldwide have not gone un-noticed, and in 2008 Vicky was voted 5th in the Best Residents Category in the well respected Trance Awards Poll powered by Trackitdown.net.
On the production front Vicky has also seen much success. She had early productions as part of collaborations released on Infectious Distribution (Sweet Asylum), Solar Records (Angelz) and F Active Music (Fearing Nothing), before moving onto working on solo productions and developing her own sound. She has gone on to have releases on Spinnin, Fraction Records, Recoverworld (Flux Delux), Insatiable, Goodgreef Digital, Abstract and Drizzly Records with corresponding remixes from some of the scenes most recognizable names and emerging stars.

‘Vicky has been our Judgement Sundays Ibiza resident for five years, and never fails to ignite the crowd. Her music style and persona behind the decks are second to none.’ - Judge Jules.
‘“Vicky Devine is definitely one of the reasons why I enjoy DJing at Judgement
Sundays in Ibiza so much, its hard to find a DJ who can do a proper warm up set without taking anything away from the music I want to play in a club. I have stayed around to hear her closing set and it has just as much impact as her opening sets. If I was a promoter I would want her
involved in my night!” - Sander Van Doorn.
