Awakenings Podcast S402 - Victoria Engel

"Recorded live at Crobar, Buenos Aires, on May 16, 2026, this set reflects the journey of a night crafted over seven hours, marking my tenth performance worldwide in this extended format. The session begins with groovy, immersive techno, moving through different shades of the genre: darker passages, hypnotic atmospheres, and subtle electro influences, gradually building toward a more intense energy in the final hours. An evolving sonic journey that captures the energy of the dancefloor and my vision of techno as a long-form musical experience".

Raised in a family of visual artists, she developed a unique sensitivity to music and art from an early age. Her sonic education was shaped by genres such as post-punk, EBM, new wave, ambient techno, and industrial music, all of which deeply influenced her artistic identity. In 2012, she began studying music production and crafting her own distinctive style, inspired by iconic labels such as Tresor, Clone, Ostgut Ton, Basic Channel, and Metroplex. Since then, she has performed at Crobar, where she has become one of the venue’s standout artists. After establishing herself within Buenos Aires’ electronic scene, Victoria made the leap to Europe. In Germany, she performed at Street Parade; in Switzerland, at renowned clubs such as Supermarket, Elysia, and Folklor; and continued touring through Italy, Belgium, Turkey, and Lebanon. In 2017, she released her debut EP, Cortes Amarillos, on 12” vinyl through the Paris-based label RA+RE Records. Upon returning to Argentina, Victoria further cemented her status as a leading figure in South American techno. She performed at major stages such as Mandarine Park, toured extensively throughout the country, and appeared at some of South America’s most important clubs. In 2022, her seven-hour sets at Under Club and Crobar were highly celebrated by audiences. That same year, she performed at Rock in Rio and launched her own record label, 444 SERIES, which quickly gained international support and featured releases from acclaimed artists such as Flug. Throughout 2023 and 2024, she expanded her presence in Mexico, performing at venues and events including EDC Mexico City, Bar Américas in Guadalajara, Tulum, and Morelia. In Argentina, she performed at La Estación and Cosquín Rock Festival. The year 2025 marked her return to Europe as a fully established international artist, bringing her music to stages such as Free Your Mind in Amsterdam, Human and HÖR in Berlin, and Input in Barcelona, further solidifying her position within the global techno circuit. During the last six months, Victoria has been part of the Resistance Latin America Tour, performed at Ultra Music Festival Buenos Aires and completed a tour across Mexico, culminating in a seven-hour set at the iconic Bar Américas in Guadalajara. Recently Victoria took part in the relaunch of the Second State label and has been part of Drumcode Buenos Aires (30 Years of Drumcode).
