Viktor Valasko is originally from the North Western city of St. Petersburg in Russia, where he lived until the age of 7 before moving to Scotland with his family. Shortly after, Viktor moved to Manchester, it was here that Viktor discovered his Dance roots.
A regular at Hacienda in the late 80's and early 90's Viktor describes his time in Manchester as a complete eye opener and his love of dance music soon developed into a real passion with only one goal and aspiration in mind......to become a D.J.
In the early part of his career Viktor practiced his DJ skills at acid house parties and illegal raves throughout Cheshire and Manchester. He began to make a name for himself in club land almost 12 years ago playing uplifting house and full-on funky sets at clubs across the UK. During the last 5 years he has spent his time exploring a tougher electro sound, which he is now renowned for.
Life as a DJ has taken Viktor all over the world where he has had the opportunity to meet many different people and experience a great variety of sounds and club cultures. He’s been across America, travelled over Asia taking a whirlwind tour of some major cities: San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York, Hong Kong and Shanghai to name but a few.
Viktor has also toured Bosnia at some of the countries biggest dance festivals stopping off in Bihac, Kosovo, Sarajevo and Banja Luca. This was one of many visits Viktor has made to Bosnia in recent years working with charities that organise events and festivals for local people helping to bring war torn communities together through dance music. The events are supported by The British Army who flew the DJ's involved to several festival locations throughout Bosnia and Croatia.
Viktor's current residencies are at The GLASSHOUSE in Leeds; Purrfect Electro (by-monthly) KOOCHI / AREA 51 in Manchester, where he’s played with some of the finest D.J's/ Producer's such as; David Morales, Sebastien Leger, Richard Dinsdale, Dave Spoon, Dirty South, Martijen Ten Velden, Aleksij, D.Ramirez and Mark Knight to name but a few.
Viktor likes to push the boundaries playing a wide range and styles of Electro/Tech House and Techno, giving him his own unique sound.
