Vicky Devines Profile
Vicky Devine is one of the leading female Trance DJs to break out of the UK, with her successful career taking her all over the world and seeing her become weekly main room resident at one of the most popular and well known nights in Ibiza….Judgement Sundays. Vicky Devine’s success as a DJ and Producer is growing year on year gaining amazing support and recognition for her talent and ability from leading DJs such as Judge Jules, Marco V and Sander Van Doorn.
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 at the age of 18 and has worked within the industry ever since!!!
Beginning as a club reviewer and interviewer for 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 promising 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 these days. Playing at numerous nights in the UK including Gatecrasher, The Gallery (Turnmills), Pams House (Norwich), 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 top nights 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, 2006, 2007). 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 todays trance scene including Judge Jules, Eddie Halliwell, Sander Van Doorn, Marco V, Ferry Corston, Marcel Woods and Matt Hardwick. Not forgetting also Vicky’s other huge summer weekly residency at Majorca’s superclub BCM for her own night – “Angels of Funk”. This has now been running for four years and has made Vicky the first ever female DJ to hold a long standing residency at this incredible club. In addition Vicky is the main resident DJ and promoter of the most successful all female DJ event to date – “Charlys Angelz”. This has completed seven successful years out in Ibiza at which Vicky has played each and every one! Both her Angels of Funk Brand and her Charlys Angelz brand have been involved in numerous tours throughout the UK and indeed the world. More recently Angels of Funk joined forces with Dirty Little Funkers and there are tour nights for all the brands over the coming months.
On the production front Vicky has also seen success. She had early productions as part of collaborations released on Infectious Distribution (“Sweet Asylum”), Solar (“Angelz”) and F Active Music (“Fearing Nothing”), before moving onto working on solo productions and developing her own sound. Her first solo production – “Entravanse” – was signed to Drizzly at the end of 2005 and released in March 2006 on their Illuminate sublabel along with a remix from DJ Andy Bagguley. The track was licenced to four compilation albums, received excellent reviews in IDJ, Mixmag and M8 magazines and received support from some of trance’s top music jocks including a play on Radio One’s Dave Pearce’s Dance Anthems. Her second track entitled “Echoed Kisses” was also released on Drizzly’s Illuminate Records with a fantastic Paul Kershaw Remix, and achieved similar success with plays on Dave Pearce’s Dance Anthems, MOS radio and Galaxy to name but a few. Echoed Kisses was also recommended tune of the month in IDJ and had fantastic reviews in Mixmag. Vicky then moved onto her first remix project, remixing Solstice’s “Edge of the Ocean”. The whole package was subsequently signed to Solarstones’ brand new Insatiable label and her remix has been widely supported on the promo mailout . Her recently completed solo tracks “Eternal Dream” and “Silver Whispers” have just been released on Drizzly and Insatiable records respectively, and watch out for “Shape Up” which has been signed by the massive Recoverworld Group and is due for release on their Flux Delux label very soon..
Radio is also a massive part of Vicky’s career having provided Ibiza reports and interviews for Chris Baileys Ministry of Sound Show (2007), Paul Kershaw’s Saturday night Galaxy FM show (2006), Steve Smart’s Saturday night Kiss 100 FM Floorfillers Show (2004), Bournemouth’s Fire 107.6FM (2002-2004), and having also hosted her own show on Ibiza’s main dance music station Holiday FM (2005). In addition Vicky has been involved in television work with Balearic Babes (Rapture TV 2002), with an Australian production which included Vicky interviewing DJ Tiesto at Ibiza’s Cream Closing Party at Amnesia (2005) and most recently with Ministry of Sound TV (2007). She has also had guest mixes and interviews on Eddie Halliwell’s BBC Radio One Show (Feb 2007) and on Judge Jules’s Global Warm Up show (Dec 2006).
‘Vicky has been our Judgement Sundays Ibiza resident for three 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.
