  the whole biography

  Vitorio Testa is a DJ born, raised and based in Barcelona. He began going out around 2009 into the dark and alternative scene of the city, discovering classic sounds from rock and metal in the best underground pubs and bars, to EBM, synthpop, darkwave, electro and techno from the clubs. After some years he decided to start learning from some of the best local djs and producers in the goth and electronic music scene from Barcelona, like Dave Inox (a.k.a. Blackout Dj), Sergio Delirio (NOCTURNA), Dan Martin (Depeche Mode BCN Fanclub), Dj Error (Madrid), and many others, getting the best of each one but always with a personal touch. After all this years, he has been evolving and discovering different styles, parties, clubs, people and music that have made of his sets an eclectic and enjoyable selection of sounds. As he has been always influenced by 80s music since he was a child, he has been currently more focused into the new italodisco and dark disco scene, making of his sessions a mix from classic italo, to dark disco, darkwave, ebm, techno and electro from labels such as Italo Moderni, Dark Entries, Bordello a Parigi, Moustache Records, Zyx, Libertine, Mecanica, Aufnahme Wiedergabe, Slow Motion, Ombra International, etc. Vitorio is a passionate vinyl collector and, whenever it is possible, plastics are always his favourite option for making you enjoy a good a set. Also big fan of japanese culture and sounds, from citypop to enka/showa music, visual key, j-rock, metal etc… He has played in many clubs and parties in Barcelona such as The Garage of the Bass Valley, Switch Pocket Club, Nocturna Festival (Eclipse Group), Upload, Freedonia, Demonix (Lennon’s club) or Sala Meteoro, and he is currently active as a monthly DJ at the iconic Manchester Bar in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter and El Convento fetish/bdsm club. Vitorio also has played abroad, more recently he was part of the Dj’s line up for ADE FESTIVAL 2024 with Adrian Marth (Italo moderni) & Julian Reca for Bordello a Parigi at Bordello Aperitivo. As a musician he has been member of the bands Extinction Front (electric guitar), Motorzombis (double bass) and Pioneros Cano (voice and composition).
