New Website + Identity Episode 5

Hey guys! It's out with the old and in with the new as mixinvic.com is no longer with us with the new launch of victortormenta.com! I am no longer using dynamod for hosting due to their lack of rss feed accessibility and features. At the moment I am working on adjusting every widget and feed on the site so that it looks normal on everyone's screens so bare with me!

I will add more features to the music section and connect section over the next couple days!

In other news, I have returned from my trip to New York City and have created a new Identity Episode which can be found directly on victortormenta.com or youtube.com/victortormenta . I have put together a video of clips from my experience at the Electric Zoo Festival where i was able to hear Armin Van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Sander Van Doorn, Richie Hawtin, Chemical Brothers, Popof, Fedde Le Grad, Dirty South, and many more! Below is a shot of Armin with my iPhone.



Expect more for the site over the coming days!

Identity Episode 3 + Propaganda @ V-LIVE

It has been awhile since I have updated, but I have finally found time to write back on what has been going on. The opening set at Vision went well with Illuminati (J-Sephora). We performed both for the first time live with the use of an Akai APC40, IPad ft. TouchOSC, and Traktor. Our latest edition of Identity shows us using it live! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTo06J43U1c.

Since then I also had the opportunity to play at Chicago Tranceformation's 2 Year Anniversary Party at Bar Celona Thursday, August 5th. The night had a great turnout with amazing music from 6 P.M. until closing 2. I unfortunately had to leave around 10. To those who I had given a promo cd to at Bar Celona, U!N! last weekend, or any other place, here is the tracklist for that mix!

Identity Episode 1 & Official Vision Artwork!!

Hey guys!

I write you back, a few days back from Mexico, to announce that the official artwork for my gig at Vision is now out! My password will get anyone in for free before 11 or pay $10 bucks before 12!! Afterward, it will be $15 for cover. Regardless, its a good deal to get in free before 11 and check me and Jaisu out!

PASSWORD : OIL SPILL


My return from Mexico took some harsh tolls despite the fact that I had a great finale with the Vintage Club gig prior to my departure. I came back with a bacterial infection which has now left me incapable of DJ-ing tonight or tommorow at U!N! and much less capable of going to work at Sunglass Hut. I have too many disgusting symptoms to mention. : ( On the plus side, I am happy to mention that the gig at Vintage went so well.

The first episode of my new webisode series, Identity, will show how my trip and my gig down at Vintage went. Check it out on youtube!

Leave some feedback on my facebook or here on what you guys think about it! : )

Mexico Sun, Vintage Life Club Gig & More!

I"m halfway into my short vacation here in Mexico (Irapuato, Gto) and I must say some very good things have happened while down here! On my second day here, I went out to two local clubs here which were both fairly new. (Mao and Vintage Life ) The Mao was very awesome with amazing sound and lighting and a DJ who was video-mixing ( mashups tho : / )

The second place was called Vintage Life Club. They were playing commercial electro house when I walked in .It was natural that I go ask about a last minute booking. After some talking, presentation and good usage of my Iphone app, I was able to secure a booking for Saturday July

4th for a 12-2 spot!! I get to play progressive house and house!!Then the next day I come back home with Continental! The sucky part is that I have a 4 hour lay over in Houston. On top of grabbing some good sun and eating more healthy with

my grandma"s home cooking, I am also finally in the late stages of two original uplifting trance tracks I started working on since Sunday. I"m also working on remixes to Way Out West"s classic hit "Mindcircus" and Wippenberg"s "Chakalaka" which i hope to give to Wippenberg the day I play at Vision July 31st !! : ) Official Flyer coming soon!

Cheers,

Vic
