A true force in the Psytrance world and beyond it, Yoni Oshrat, better known as Ace Ventura, isn't just a DJ and producer - he's an experience. For over two decades, his infectious energy has ignited dance floors worldwide. From intimate clubs to headlining major festivals, Ace Ventura has captivated audiences with his signature style. His music is characterised by a fusion of hard, pumping dancefloor oriented themes and deeper, groovier influences, always immersed in psychedelia. As a DJ his diverse musical tastes and vast musical knowledge enables him to create unique sonic experiences. In times when lineups consist mostly of short producer sets, Yoni pushes the envelope to play long sets that tell a real story, going back to the origins of DJ culture.

His passion for psytrance extends far beyond music. Alongside Liquid Soul, he co-founded Psy-Nation, a global movement encompassing a monthly radio show/podcast and a travelling party line. This dedication to the genre fosters community and discovery for psytrance enthusiasts everywhere.

While psytrance is his domain, Ace Ventura's musical curiosity extends to downtempo and dub universes.  This deep appreciation for diverse electronic styles adds another layer to his artistry, evident in his acclaimed "Ace Ventura in Dub" sets.

Ace Ventura isn't confined to the booth. Beyond solo ventures, he collaborates on successful projects like Alpha Portal (with Astrix), Alien Art (with Captain Hook), Liquid Ace (with Liquid Soul), and Acid Punks (with Outsiders), each project offering a different sound adventure.

Craig is one of the worlds most in demand Trance artists, known to his fans for his trademark euphoric & wistfully lyrical sound which started with his debut release Black Hole now with over 20 millions streams worldwide since its release in 2013, so few have a bonafide Trance classic of this magnitude in their catalogue. 

Craig has released 3 number 1 selling albums in 5 years and maintains 250-400,000 monthly listeners on Spotify alone from 36 vocal singles, 50 instrumentals and 25 remixes. A staggering amount of music from a 13 year career, with no less than 11 Beatport No1 productions and ranked in their top 15 selling Trance artists of all time.

As a DJ he is a mainstay across the UK club scene playing in every major city throughout the year. His popularity has led to regular bookings at premier festivals like Transmission, Dreamstate, Luminosity and ASOT. 

Further afield he is one of the only Trance artists on the planet to have a record added to rotation on Sirius XM, America’s biggest satellite radio service. This Life was played on BPM for over 6 months, propelling Craig’s name across the states and Canada.

The love for music started just before puberty set in.
There Roy got inspired by rock music.
AC/DC was the first band he really listened to.
This was also his first concert ever.
15 years old and going to see AC/DC in 1996.
Shortly after, Guns n Roses, Metallica, U2, Smashing Pumpkins and Red Hot Chili Peppers was all he listened to.

A bit later the music got more intense.
He started listening to bands like 
Rage Against the Machine, Sepultura, Machine Head, Pantera, Korn and Limp Bizkit.

In his early 20's he took a more mellow path music wise.
60's music got his interest.
Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival, BB King, Bob Dylan, The Doors, The Animals and his biggest hero's where, and still are The Rolling Stones and Dire Straits/ Mark Knopfler.

Then... May 10th 2003. The day history was made in so many ways.
Roy lives right next to Arnhem football stadium 'Gelredome' where a certain DJ 'Tiësto' performed.
His mates all went and asked him along.
He never was into dance music but he was so impressed with the show, the scene, the fans, and his interest in dance music was born right there.

Shortly after he stared to buy Tiësto albums.
In Search of Sunrise 4 was the first dance album he bought and the interest in this music genre kept getting bigger and bigger.
(Ironically, that album remains his favorite album of all times)

The following years a friend told him:
'You will never appreciate the skills of a DJ if you never DJ'ed yourself, because then you will truly know how hard it is and what it is all about'.

With those words in mind he bought a 2nd hand set of turntables and a mixer and i got started.
It took some time before it all went smooth and after a few months he really felt comfortable.
Ever since then he played trance music exclusively but after hearing Dan Southward's radioshow 'Deep Senses Radio' early 2010 his interest in 
progressive house and deep house was awakened.
This made quite some changes in his style but this made Roy more complete as a DJ.
Later on he let other styles like tech-house and even techno slip between his sets just to keep things interesting.

Early 2013 Roy's friend Dan Southward picked up on Roy's progressive house sets.
He heard how much he improved his sound and he asked him to join forces and host his monthly show together.
The name of the show was Deep Senses Radio.
This was a great succes and Roy has been a part of the show ever since.
The style of the show is Deep House, Progressive House, Tech-house, Minimal and Techno.
January 2016 Dan decided to leave Deep Senses Radio and went solo with his own radioshow.
Roy changed the name in Deep Senses and started counting from 001 again.
Ever since, the format of the show is a mix by Roy Malloy in the first hour and a guestmix by a different DJ in the second hour.

Skipping to September 2021 and Roy succesfully made 100 episodes.
This was celebrated with an exclusive 5 hour mix with all of his favorite tracks of the past 8 years.

Roy's broad taste in music is very noticeable in his sets and he is never afraid
of trying out new things or just do his own thing.
The only words that come to mind when describing Roy's sound is divers, different and bold.

In 2015 Dan Southward and Roy Malloy started out their own record label called D&R Digital.

Psychedelic Trance With A Progressive Touch.

VINI VICI BIOGRAPHY 2016 

Vini Vici is the new project of Aviram Saharai & Matan Kadosh, both well-known and experienced electronic music producers for over a decade.
The concept of Vini Vici was formed by the boys with an intention to express their love for the old school sound, paired with their progressive ideas.
Iboga Records and FM Bookings, widely considered to be the biggest psytrance label and booking agency, were the first to see the potential of the project and invited them to be part of their well respected family, alongside names such as: Ace Ventura, Liquid Soul, Ticon, Captain Hook, Atmos, and the like.

After the huge success of their premier EP 'Divine Mode' and their follow-up ‘Back Underground’, ‘Expender’, ‘Anything & Everything’, and ‘Veni Vidi Vici’ tracks (all top sellers on Beatport and Iboga Records charts), Vini Vici continued to produce massive hits while touring the world nonstop - Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Switzerland, Finland, France, India, Denmark, Germany, United State, Italy, Portugal, Austria, Australia, Serbia, Netherland, Scotland, United Kingdom, Ireland, Israel…..
It's no surprise Beatport positioned them at No.3 on the Top Artist list of 2014.
2015 was a huge step forward for the boys with the release of their debut album ‘Vini Vici - Future Classics’. They hit the Beatport Main Chart at No.2 (Psytrance at No.1) - a position that very few psytrance artists have managed to stand at before, followed by Psyshop No.1 and TrackItDown No.1 spots, while the legendary Infected Mushroom named them “the best upcoming psytrance artists at the moment”. The explosion continued when trance king Armin Van Buuren edited their already classic tune ‘The Tribe’, and featured them on his legendary ‘ASOT’ radio show over and over again.

Finishing 2015 with a bang, the boys were ranked by Beatport as No.1 on the PsyTrance Artist chart and they also landed the Best Selling Track of 2015. They continued to make history early in 2016 with their Vini Vici Remix of ‘Hilight Tribe - Free Tibet’ - the track gained over 15,000,000 views on YouTube and 5,000,000 plays on Soundcloud, while also hitting the No.2 spot on Beatport’s Main chart, and becoming the first psytrance track ever to have entered the Beatport Main Top 10.

After such an outstanding beginning to 2016, it’s no surprise that the rest of their year continued to bring this elevated level and even after many successful years before became their best year by far. Some even call it the ‘The Vini Vici Year’ - with over 220 shows in some of the most prestigious electronic music events around the globe (A State Of Trance Festival NL, Tomorrowland BE, Boom Festival PT, Electric Daisy Carnival in U.S.A, Ultra BR, Dreamstate U.S.A, Transmission CZ, Experience BR, Vuuv DE, Sunburn GOA, Luminosity NL, Earthcore AU, Unity IL just to name a few…).

Keeping their No.1 spot on Beatport’s Psytrance Artist list and Best Selling Track for the second year in a row went on to lead a new generation of psytrance fans and producers to their style. Just before ending off 2016 came the jewel in the crown; a collaboration with no other than one of the solid founders of modern electronic music - Armin Van Buuren, featuring french band Hilight Tribe in their creation ‘Great Spirit’. This massive collaboration took over the Beatport Main Chart immediately and gained over 1,000,000 views on YouTube in just 2 weeks, taking them one step closer to their life goal of spreading psytrance culture and energy in the world.

Armin van Buuren: “I’ve wanted to work with Vini Vici ever since they embarked on the music scene. Few acts have such a well-defined signature sound”
